Jaws of Justice Radio
It is the intention of Jaws of Justice Radio to investigate how to achieve justice in America, this includes issues of economic injustice, political injustice and the criminal justice system. We want to put a human face on those caught in the grasp of injustice and those that are part of an unjust system. We strive to dispel the misconceptions created by the news and entertainment industry, politicians and our educational system.
On Monday, 2/10, at 9 AM, host Elisa Breitenbach is back for a discussion with Teresa Woody, Litigation Director, and Christina Ostmeyer, Communications and Digital Advocacy Director of Kansas Appleseed. Kansas Appleseed is a nonprofit network of 17 Centers across the U.S. and Mexico, dedicated to advancing justice and opportunities that help low-income people and working families have better lives. We will be discussing the lawsuit that has been filed for Kansas children in foster care. The class action lawsuit was filed November 16, 2018 by Kansas Appleseed, Children’s Rights, the National Center for Youth Law, and attorney Lori Burns-Bucklew against Governor Jeff Colyer and the officials responsible for the Kansas Department for Children and Families, Kansas Dept. of Health and Environment, and Kansas Dept. for Aging and Disability Services. The National Center for Youth Law and Children’s Rights contends Kansas violates foster children’s civil rights by moving them too often, adding to their trauma and restricting their access to necessary mental health treatment. Children in Kansas foster care face extreme housing instability—sometimes moved more than 50 or 100 times—and are deprived of critical mental health assessments and services. Tune in!
