EQUALITY ACHEIVED: Glastonbury Foster Couple Sues After Being Cleared of Sex Abuse Allegations.

George Harasz and Douglas Wirth adopted nine boys, including three groups of brothers, between 2000 and 2008. They were arrested on sexual assault charges in 2011 and were cleared in 2014. . . .

Since they were also raising Wirth’s biological son and daughter, the couple made it clear they did not want to take in children with histories of sexual abuse.

Nonetheless, the Department of Children and Families “deliberately hid the first boys’ sexualized past from Haraz and Writh,” according to the complaint, which claims four of the couple’s adopted children had sexually abused other kids in previous foster homes. . . .

The complaint alleges DCF “mistakenly believed the outlandish lies of a troubled teen” who had “pathological problems” and had previously accused a DCF social worker and juvenile court judge of fondling him.

It claims the DCF system “is designed to convict people accused of child sexual abuse; it does not exist to protect falsely accused people, and in this case was used to fabricate a case that was not based on facts.”

It’s good to see that same-sex couples are now free to have the same experiences with the “child services” bureaucracy as normal couples.
