United States Seventh Circuit

In a case alleging the violation of a constitutional right to be free from placement in a foster home where the state knew or suspected that abuse was likely to occur, the grant of summary judgment to the defendant was affirmed where plaintiffs failed to prove that DCFS employees knew of or suspected that the plaintiffs were at risk of sexual abuse in their foster homes.
