The State of Oregon placed very young and vulnerable foster children in a home with a teen who was a sexual predator, and now they will pay for it. We are Robert and Kathleen Raskin of Las Vegas, and once again we are bringing you a story about foster children and families who are fighting back against the corrupt child protective services system in court.

According to a $5 million lawsuit filed by guardians of the victimized children, the state knew the boy, who was 13 years old at the time, had a history of being sexually abusive. Despite this, they moved him into a home with young children, including five-year-old and seven-year-old girls who had been sexually abused in the past and were developmentally disabled.

The boy was not supervised around these children, and the state did not at any point suggest he should be. This, despite warnings from a foster parent about the child’s disturbing behavior both at home and at school. The boy molested both girls, raping the older one, and he threatened them with violence if they told. Now the Oregon Department of Human Services is being charged with negligence

The foster children named in the case are suing for:

• $50K for each girl for counseling both now and in the future
• $2.5M for isolation, nightmare, and psychological trauma

The state was directly responsible for the ordeal these poor children went through, and now they will pay—literally—for their negligence.
