Per local sources, DCF found the allegations unsubstantiated, and DCF is generally pretty tough when it comes to potential allegations like this.
There is also no criminal investigation which there almost assuredly would be if there was a shred of evidence to support it.
I'm not a fan of churches in general, and any church activity around children specifically, but I'm raising my eyebrow here.

You think a DCF employee can't be biased?

Of course they can. But i also have a pretty good handle on how these things work and the fact that this is a civil lawsuit, not a government one, and there's no police investigation, suggests that a grain of salt be taken.

Lol dcf in Massachusetts is trash. They don't ever investigate shit. So many kids get written off because of the reluctance of dcf to get involved.

In central MA they investigate EVERYTHING that occurs in poor towns and they put plenty of kids into foster care because their parents are doing things like following doctor prescribed suboxone treatment plans or being too poor to afford daycare.

I wouldn’t be surprised if those kids were there thru a DCF voucher. DCF is quick to ignore any hint of neglect or abuse when it’s happening in a contracted facility and MA is arguably the worst state in the country for kids in foster care.

That has not been my experience at all. In fact, DCF is actively pursuing a carer who took vouchers once a foster parent filed a 51A over neglect at the facility, on the other side of the state.
And as bad as the foster system in MA absolutely can be...I can assure you that it is far, far, far worse in certain other states, particularly red states.
