Indiana's Department of Child Services is firing back at a lawsuit accusing it of failing Indiana foster children.
The response from DCS director Terry Stigdon is unusual in a couple of ways. The state usually doesn't comment on lawsuits at all. And Stigdon issued not a statement, but a seven-minute video on the agency website. She accuses the New York nonprofit A Better Childhood of cherry-picking horror stories and painting a misleading picture of an agency she maintains has improved dramatically over the last year. She charges the filing of the lawsuit is "demoralizing" for agency employees.
