State faces criticism over caring for foster kids and one year on from the closure of Atlanta Medical Center

from WABE's Week In Review · host WABE

DFCS Commissioner Candice Broce allegedly asked judges to consider placing developmental disabled foster kids in a juvenile detention center "for a few days" in order to deal with a lack of caregivers. Broce said in a statement that the judges testimony to the Senate committee lacked context and accuracy. And this week marked one year since since Atlanta Medical Center in the city's Old Fourth Ward closed its doors for good as health advocates and city officials continue to push for a new hospital there.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
