Two juvenile court judges have raised concerns after disclosing that the Georgia commissioner of human services had asked them to confine children in detention facilities.
Two Georgia juvenile court judges on Monday told U.S. Sen Jon Ossoff that the head of the state's child welfare agency asked judges to violate state law by keeping some children inappropriately locked in juvenile detention centers.
Ossoff will be up for reelection in 2026, and the Republican Kemp could challenge him. Questions about the child welfare system could be a campaign issue. Kemp put Broce, his longtime aide, in charge of the sprawling Department of Human Services in 2021. The lawyer had previously been named director of the department's Division of Family and Children Services. It's unusual for one person to hold both jobs.
