But if she had a magic wand, group care would be eliminated, no child would be removed from a home for behavioral issues — “I think that’s where we’re really letting kids down” — and all foster children would be required to have an attorney.
“All of the judges that I have practiced before really do care about children,” Sartor said. “But what I have seen is, when the child doesn’t have legal counsel, their voice can get lost.”
