Four siblings awarded $6.2 million in Seattle foster abuse case

Four siblings awarded $6.2 million in Seattle foster abuse case, Seattle Times, June 6, 2007:

Four siblings who were abused in foster care were awarded $6.2 million by a King County jury Tuesday, a verdict that now stands as the largest of its kind in the state.

The jury decided that the state acted negligently when it licensed Pearl Hall to be a foster mother nearly 20 years ago, and that it failed to monitor the home after the four kids were placed.

The former foster children were represented by Rebecca Roe and Kathy Goater (Schroeter Goldmark & Bender).
