SAN ANTONIO – A federal judge is taking action to fix what many call a “broken” foster care system. The judge is requiring three more investigators to look into The Department of Family and Protective Services. She has also doubled the amount of hours the team is expected to spend coming up with their recommendations, from about 1,000 hours to 2,000 hours.

Child Advocates San Antonio CEO Rick Cooke called the judge’s decision to beef up the investigation into the foster care system, a step in the right direction.
