In recent years, Fisher Injury Lawyers has represented families of children who died or were injured while in foster or patient care.  We take on these difficult and demanding cases because our children deserve a willing advocate in their corner.

These tragedies can always be avoided.  Our state agencies are obligated to fully research every foster circumstance before placing a child.  This obligation is imposed to eliminate the risk of injury or abuse to the foster child.  Our foster children are vulnerable as they enter the system so their placement requires great care.  Once placed, the foster arrangement must be regularly monitored for abuse or neglect.  Every person in the chain of responsibility for Madison Parrott bears some responsibility for this tragic death.  Demand more of our state Department of Children and Family Services staff and contractors.  Investigate what you can do to help. http://www.dcfs.louisiana.gov/index.cfm?md=pagebuilder&tmp=home&pid=374
