Monroe County judge rules that DHS must pay foster care money for kinship care

In a decision of November 25, 2009 but just released three days ago, Monroe County Family Court Judge, Patricia E. Gallagher, ruled that the Monroe County Department of Human Services must pay foster care money to Loretta K., the friend of the family of a neglected child, who took the child in. According to the ruling, the Department of Human Services must treat Ms. K. in a equal manner to the way it treats a foster mother who is a stranger to the child.
