California parents are complaining that lawmakers have been unresponsive to complaints about the state’s Child Protective Services (CPS) system.
Tara Smith, a parent in Siskiyou County, traveled to Sacramento in March 2019 with fellow concerned parent Jessica Ingels to speak with lawmakers. Smith is the former foster mother of a 4-year-old girl who she says is being raped by a member of a Mexican street gang who has been arrested multiple times and who has custody of the child.
