FOSTER KIDS CAN NOW SUE FOR ABUSE

By a 5-4 majority, the high court on Thursday sided with five former foster children subjected to more than a decade of abuse at the hands of a Pierce County couple. The decision, which affirms an appeals court ruling, gives the young women a second chance to hold the state liable for failing to protect them and provides a stronger legal footing for other foster children suing the state.
