No Liability for Acts of Foster Kids

(Washington State) According to the state Supreme Court, the government has no liability for damages caused by kids placed in foster care. Logically, with foster kids as wards of the state and nowhere else to assign responsibility and liability, nobody is liable.

Wait a minute! Doesn't the First Amendment specify that citizens have the right to petition the government for redress of grievances? It looks to me like the Supreme Court of Washington has decided otherwise. I clearly view its decision as wrong. Without liability for their actions, the management and employees of the state Department of Social and Health Services (DSHS) have no impetus to do a better job.

I'd appeal. But, remember, I'm just a blogger and those folks on the Supreme Court are smarter than the average person reading the Bill of Rights.
