Legal service providers on Wednesday denounced the terms of a proposed settlement of a class action suit in which the state has agreed to hire a monitor to review New York City’s foster care system.
The class action, Elisa W. v. City of New York, 15-cv-5273, was brought by New York City Public Advocate Letitia James and 10 foster children in July.
