Report: Abuse of foster kids up in Fulton, Dekalb

Report: Abuse of foster kids up in Fulton, Dekalb

The combined rates of abuse and neglect of foster children continue to rise in Fulton and DeKalb counties, according to a report released Wednesday.

The report, performed by two court-appointed monitors of the 2,500 foster children in those counties, also criticized the system for failing to provide the children with adequate health care services and allowing too many to languish in the custody of the state Division of Family and Children Services.
