DCFS charges 9 year old $30K
The state of Illinois made a nine-year-old girl pay for a month's stay in a psych hospital that she didn't need. She was in the care of the state child welfare agency, DCFS, who defends the practice. Only on 2 — Chris Tye speaks with the woman who wants to be her adoptive mother.She's been crying, almost nonstop, because she wants to be done. She wants to change her name.But that new name and new start can't happen until a four-year-old billing issue is resolved.
Because it was beyond medical necessity, Medicaid wouldn't pay the $34,200 bill. The state child welfare agency, DCFS, was left to pay it. But taking the money to pay off a pricey hospital overstay because DCFS had no other place to put her? "A lot of the foster kids end up being homeless, they say. I now can see why. DCFS is taking their money from them."
