Reader calls for accountability from Connecticut agencies in foster care abuse case

A reader argues that both the Department of Children and Families (DCF) and the Probate Court should be held accountable for the abuse suffered by a young girl who was allegedly assaulted by her foster parent. The victim, now an adult, is seeking $30 million in a claim against the state, stating that DCF failed to intervene despite multiple opportunities. The Barriaults, the foster parents involved, were approved by the Probate Court. The reader questions the effectiveness of the Probate Court's investigations into the suitability of foster parents, highlighting concerns about oversight in such cases.
