In New Mexico, a state where # of children torn from parents is skyrocketing, lawsuit alleges child repeatedly sexually assaulted in #fostercare shelter – where they dump kids when there’s no room anywhere else. Did she pay the price of foster care panic? www.nccprblog.org/2026/08/new-...

The # of children torn from their families in New Mexico in Q2 2026 skytrocketed 80% over same time in 2025. At this rate, NM could see the worst statewide #fostercare panic in America since 1999 www.nccprblog.org/2026/08/new-... #childabuse #childwelfare
