At a Wednesday court hearing, Judge Janis Graham Jack of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas sharply criticized the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) for poor practices within its residential foster care facilities, including the mishandling of psychotropic drug prescriptions for children in custody.
The DFPS has been coming under scrutiny in recent years for alleged mismanagement and abuse within its foster care facilities. "Does this not set off alarm bells for you that…you all cannot monitor the psychotropic drugs?" Jack asked DFPS Commissioner Stephanie Muth.
