TULSA ? Nine Oklahoma foster children were bounced around among 176 primary caseworkers because of ?severe disarray? within DHS, attorneys said in documents filed Thursday in Tulsa federal court.
The state Department of Human Services also had 125 secondary workers and 190 supervisors overseeing care of those children, documents reveal.
?These staggering numbers reflect severe disarray in the basic oversight of children in state custody,? the children?s attorneys stated.
DHS spokesman George Johnson said Thursday he had not seen the court filings and could not comment.
The disclosures came in an ongoing federal lawsuit filed by attorneys associated with Children?s Rights, a New York-based child advocacy organization.
