The biological mother of two small California boys who died while in the state foster care system has filed a federal lawsuit alleging her sons were unlawfully taken from her and placed with foster parents who are now charged with killing them.
A 3-year-old girl allegedly died from meth poisoning in a Stockton foster home two years ago. Now, a lawyer acting on behalf of her 7-year-old brother is suing Alameda County and its social services agencies for not protecting them both.
After Dean gave birth to another son in June 2017, a sheriff's deputy took him away because Human Services officials said they"like to keep siblings together," the lawsuit said. McCoy said Moorer also completed parenting classes and a psychological review in an attempt to get her grandsons but was denied.
