Child Advocate: Foster Care Lawsuit Necessary After Inaction

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — An advocate for people who take custody of children they’re related to says a lawsuit seeking to boost payments for those children’s care was made necessary by the state’s inaction.
At issue is a gap between payments to non-licensed relatives and licensed foster care parents.
Ohio has been under pressure from child advocates to follow a 2017 federal appeals court ruling ordering equality in such payments.
