Michigan Senate has passed a series of Bills to grant immunity to child welfare organizations against civil liabilities. The State Bar of Michigan has concurred with my position of this type of public policy.
Interviewing direct service providers (i.e. person who provide supervision of assisted living, foster parents, staff) there is no recourse for these persons. Allow me to explain.
If an individual, direct service provider, is injured due to the failure of a child welfare organization to properly meet the medical, psychological and emotional needs of the youth, the direct service provider has no legal grounds.
Simply put, if you are servicing a foster youth in your home and the child welfare organization does not inform you of the youth's history of serious psychosis coupled with violence and hypersexuality, and how there were never any mental health services provided and you are attacked because you were never trained, you cannot sue.
