Daily News | Philly child welfare nonprofit reaches $11M settlement over allegations of infant neglect
A Philadelphia child welfare nonprofit has agreed to pay $11 million to settle a lawsuit alleging the agency failed to oversee an infant’s care as suspected abuse of the child continued. The baby eventually suffered near-fatal and life-altering brain injuries, and her biological mother was charged with the abuse.
“Organizations that take on the public function of protecting at-risk children must be held publicly accountable when they don’t do their job,” Specter said in a statement, along with attorneys Braden Lepisto and Aaron Dunbar. “The criminal justice system punished the child’s biological mother years ago. Now, the others responsible for her safety are being held accountable for their role in the injuries suffered by this defenseless, months-old child.
According to the suit, after a visit to the home on April 9, 2018, a Tabor case worker wrote that: “There were no additional safety concens [sic] observed in the home. The children were safe.”
