A lawsuit has been filed on behalf of children in the foster care system in North Carolina over the alleged endangerment of children in state custody.

The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) was sued on Aug. 27, with plaintiffs claiming that understaffing led to a lack of monitoring of residential facilities, putting children in the system in harm’s way.
