Hartford (AP) _ A watchdog group is asking a federal court monitor to appoint an overseer to manage some services of the state Department of Children and Families.
Children’s Rights says DCF has not complied with certain terms of a settlement of its 1989 lawsuit, which alleged the state violated federal laws by not protecting children in its care.
The New York-based group says the agency is not adequately planning for treatment of foster children and for the mental health, dental care and case management needs of children in its care.
The group asked the court monitor on Monday to appoint a limited receiver to direct the agency’s work in those areas.
A message was left for a DCF spokesman.
