Bittersweet Justice-Washington CPS
Occasionally, there is justice for those negatively affected by the child welfare and adoption systems. Unfortunately, it is usually bittersweet and much too late. This section will serve as REFORM Talk’s justice files.
“The state has settled a lawsuit for $6.55 million filed on behalf of six brothers who suffered years of sexual, physical and psychological abuse despite 33 complaints filed with Child Protective Services (CPS) over their treatment.
Blaine Tamaki, attorney for the brothers, said the children were starved and locked in closets and “endured unimaginable acts. The physical and psychological damage is almost incomprehensible.”
They were so distraught that one pulled out his hair with pliers at the age of 4, and three others attempted suicide.”
