Protected by attorney-client privilege
New York City's foster care system was meant to protect vulnerable children, but for thousands, it became a place of harm. Foster parents, group home staff, and agency workers who were supposed to provide safety instead inflicted physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. If this happened to you, the law is on your side.
Foster care agencies like ACS, HeartShare, and others had a legal obligation to screen foster parents, investigate reports of abuse, and ensure children were safe. When they failed in these duties — ignoring warning signs, placing children in dangerous homes, or covering up abuse — they can be held legally accountable.
Every year, thousands of abuse reports are filed involving NYC foster care placements. Many survivors stayed silent for years, believing nothing could be done. New York's Child Victims Act has opened a window for survivors to seek justice — regardless of when the abuse occurred. You are not alone, and it is not too late.

Filing a claim starts with a simple, confidential questionnaire. It takes just a few minutes to find out if you qualify. Our team will review your information and connect you with experienced attorneys who specialize in foster care abuse cases. Justice may be closer than you think.
