## Resource

West Virginia’s foster care system is under fire after a federal appeals court cleared the way for a major class-action lawsuit alleging systemic failures—especially for kids with disabilities who aren’t getting the support they’re legally entitled to. The ruling means the state must now defend its practices in court, as advocates push for accountability and real change to ensure vulnerable children aren’t just housed but truly cared for.
