Re: used

If it were actual sexual abuse or molestation

that you were now alleging had occurred while

you were in the care and control of the foster

parents and/or agency, you might have a case.

However, I don't believe emotional abuse and/or

neglect would be enough to bring a case in

the Commonwealth.
