U.S. Senate report criticizes Georgia's foster care system for failing to protect children from abuse, trafficking, and death due to DFCS mismanagement.

Georgia's foster care system faces criticism in a U.S. Senate report, which alleges consistent failures in keeping children safe from sexual abuse, trafficking, and death. The report by Sen. Jon Ossoff, chair of the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on Human Rights and the Law, claims that the state's Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS) has mismanaged cases, leading to preventable deaths and serious injuries among children in their care. The DFCS has responded by calling the allegations "unfounded and irresponsible."
