I can't decide if this is irony or poetic justice or a sign of the end times.

So if your kids are taken from you forcibly by the government and you lose parental rights due to your own criminal negligence of said children. . .you have standing to sue if they are abused by foster parents?

Seems like a blatant grab for money, to me.

"The young boy and two other children had been removed from Trevino's Middletown home because of allegations she neglected them."

So if they were removed under allegations she neglected them.. then she could have been trying to get them back right?
It doesnt say in the story how long the kid was in foster care though.. but if the kid had just been taken away while there was a case going on.. I would say she still has the right to sue or something. Money may be the issue but the bottom line is that foster family should never have been one and yadda yadda yadda..
There just isnt enough info in there to me

The kid was removed because of 'allegations' of neglect according to the article, that doesn't sound all that substantial.

If the agencies involved turn out to have acted wrongfully in removing the boy, or were negligent in supervising the foster family, I don't see how the mother suing is a travesty.

Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

People who get their kids taken away deserve a prison sentence not a paycheck.

The US press overuses "alleged" and all its variations both in an effort to appear objective and because they are afraid of being sued.

With all the suage, anyone that's managed to get themselves some money would be wise to put a bit of legal distance between them and it, so it's not taken off them. Preferably in a place where property rights are more respected, say Malaysia, or the Emirates.

I'm sorry but aren't children who are taken away from birth parents supposed to be placed in a caring home? I heard about this over the weekend while in Cincy and it drives me nuts. I have a friend who lost two of her children in the Michigan court system because "allegedly" her home was not sanitary. Her husband and her were fighting the courts to have her son and daughter returned. The court was slow to act, despite the fact that both children (two and four respectively) had medical reports of sexual abuse (IE STDS) that had occured while in foster care (parents had no contact with them for six months, children were fine when they went into foster care and suddenly developed multiple STDS). The sad end to the story was the foster mother killed the boy with an iron.

Anyway, I don't blame the birth mother for suing. She lost her child. And even if she wasn't the perfect parent, I would hope she was trying to get her child back.

The foster parents openly abused this child and tried to cover it up. They deserve to be hung from their short ones.

Of course I certainly hope the mother is not just looking for a tasty settlement .
