Adopted child sues city and state for not taking down abusive home

A lawsuit has been filed against the state of Alaska Office of Child Services and the Anchorage Police Department, accusing the agencies of failing to investigate foster mom Anya James thoroughly before placing children in her care and of failing to investigate further after repeatedly hearing reports of abuse and neglect going on inside James's Hillside home. The lawsuit was filed in mid-January on behalf of one of James' adopted children, identified only by initials in the civil case.
