Santa Clara County foster youth will have a changed experience in court when new lawyers take over
The court experience for children in Santa Clara County's foster care system will shift dramatically in the coming months, when a team of young lawyers from a scrappy nonprofit agency takes over the cases of abused and neglected kids from the district attorney's office.
In a departure from long-standing local practice, lawyers with Legal Advocates for Children and Youth will meet their clients wherever the vulnerable children end up — in foster care or group homes, with relatives or on the streets. Children who have been removed from home will soon have one lawyer representing them over the life of their case, a person they can grow to trust and confide in over time.
Note: That's bullshit! "a person they can grow to trust and confide in over time." You mean a person who gets a nice contract from the state for however long they can drag it out until they disagree with the workers and are replace by somebody more compliant.
Yes.
ReplyDeletelegally kidnapped is an excellent term, especially in Santa Clara County where the bench in Family is loaded with Judges who clearly see what is going on but do nothing about it, and where conniving attorneys intent on lining their own pockets lie, cheat, and perjur themselves to create conflict and generate revenue for themselves. It is a system that is corrupt, corroded, uncaring, and unapologetic. Unfortunately I must post this as anonymous as I am still in litigation for my children who were "legally" kidnapped.
