Children currently under the care of Indiana's foster system allege that three counties in the state have violated their constitutional due process and equal protection rights because they were not appointed counsel.
The suit was filed on Feb. 6 in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana Evansville Division on behalf of some 5,000 children who go through Children in Need of Services (CHINS) or Termination of Parental Rights (TPR) proceedings. The 10 named plaintiffs in the case are minor children currently in foster care.
