The director of child care investigations for Texas’ protective services agency resigned and alleged that two of his recently fired employees were being “scapegoated” over the agency’s handling of alleged child abuse at a Bastrop foster care facility.
Lewis made about the judge overseeing the lawsuit against the state’s foster care system. She stated that Lewis had already decided to resign before she told him she shared his comments.
Accompanying the screenshots, Drain wrote in a letter she was concerned about Lewis’ ability to do his job. Lewis said he disagreed with the decision to terminate her and doesn’t believe she deserved to be fired, but he was instructed to do so by Richman, the DFPS associate commissioner for Child Protective Investigations.“But I was told she had to go.”
After the Senate committee hearing Thursday, Wisdom told The Texas Tribune that she feels like she is being blamed for the situation in order to appease lawmakers and that she was fired so the agency’s top officials could say they took action in the aftermath of what happened at The Refuge.
