Hi,
I appreciate any advice on this. I'm a foster parent and took custody of a teen age girl about a month ago. During that time she has said something slanderous about one of her teachers, something that has since been disproven. I won't go into a lot of detail, but said girl spread this to several of her friends before it was concisely proven to be a fabrication. Put simply can she be sued as a minor, and if so am I liable as her foster parent, or does this fall on the state? I had no control over her actions and I feel that things are going to get worse as a consequence.
Thank you
