Foster Care Sexual Abuse Attorney

Assistance for survivors of Foster Care Sexual Abuse

Children are our nation's most precious resource.  For this reason most governments have established various child welfare and protective services.  Unfortunately, too often the systems set up to benefit children, result in long-term or permanent damage.  When children are allowed to be sexually abused by those responsible for their wellbeing, the damage is two-fold.  One, these children experience feelings of confusion, guilt and responsibility. Two, they now understand that they are not safe and adults are not to be trusted.  An alarming number of children in the foster care system come away with this experience.  If you or someone you know has been abused while in foster care, turn to a foster care sexual abuse attorney for assistance.  At Franks LLC, we are sensitive to the needs of a survivor of sexual abuse and are fully prepared to offer legal counsel.

When children are found by children protective services to be endangered in their home environment, they are removed and placed in foster care for their protection, but this system on closer look appears to be "out of the frying pan and into the fire".  According to authorities over 530,000 children in America live in foster care and as many as 75% of all children in foster care upon leaving the system will have experienced sexual abuse.  In addition to the problem of the individual abuser, very often the abuser is enabled to continue.  Complaints from abused children to the adults who should be most concerned are too often ignored, or not investigated thoroughly enough, so the culprits can continue.

 These experiences can stay with the victim for decades.  Too often a victim will not realize that difficulties he or she is currently experiencing in life stem from these earlier events and may never have told anyone what happened.  At Franks LLC, we understand how difficult this is to discuss which is the reason so many of these sexual predators go undiscovered and unpunished.  They are also left free to continue to abuse other children.  Discussing your experiences with a sensitive foster care sexual abuse lawyer can help not only you but other victims and can prevent the abuser from harming other children in the future.

 Our help is available to you.  Find out if we can help you by discussing your foster care sexual abuse case with a lawyer at our office.  The initial phone consultation is free and confidential.
