Nebraska Supreme Court determines state not liable for child abuse by foster parents.
Nebraska Supreme Court rules state cannot be held liable for child abuse by foster parents in a split decision. The court stated that the issue of exceptions to sovereign immunity is up to the legislature, not the Supreme Court. The case involved three siblings who suffered years of abuse by foster parents while being state wards, and the court agreed with a lower court that found the foster family liable, but not the state.
