A mother can sue Tusla and HSE over alleged neglect of her special needs son in their care.

The High Court has allowed a mother to sue Tusla, the Child and Family Agency, and the HSE regarding the treatment of her 17-year-old son, who has special needs, including OCD and ADHD. The boy has been in Tusla's care since 2023 and has faced various wardship orders. The mother claims her concerns were overlooked, leading to dangerous behavior. She seeks declarations that Tusla and HSE have failed in their statutory duties and must protect her son's rights. The case will be heard next week.
