County payout OK'd for abused foster children

County payout OK'd for abused foster children

The Los Angeles County supervisors on Tuesday approved a $420,000 settlement for two sisters whose adoptive mother repeatedly submerged the youngest one in scalding water, causing second- and third-degree burns.

The adoptive mother, Audry Chatmon, also hit the girl with a belt, pulled her hair, hit her in the face and body, scratched her and burned her with fire, according to the lawsuit.
