For the past 16 years two brothers have been in and out of foster homes throughout Washington State. They filed a lawsuit against the department after one of their foster care fathers molested and abused them. Harlan Clark Nelson pleaded guilty to two counts of child molestation and one count of assault and is currently serving 8 years in prison. The State of Washington and the Department of Social and Health Services awarded the boys, now 19 and 20, a $1.54 million settlement. (Apr-08-05)
