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