*In case you missed it: Redondo Beach foster children town hall
As part of covering the courts for the Daily Breeze, I regularly monitor the appellate court opinions that are posted online. Many, many of them begin with a tale about a baby born with drugs in its system - at least a couple a week. It always strikes me as so sad and you have to wonder what kind of life awaits these newborns.
I learned last week that even the tiniest of people have attorneys fighting for them at the Children's Law Center of Los Angeles. I did a story in Monday's Daily Breeze and about a Town Hall meeting they're holding Tuesday night at the Redondo Beach Main Library. Information about the event is at the bottom of the story. *UPDATE: The time for the event is wrong in the story. It begins at 7 p.m. and ends at 8:45 p.m.
The story ledes with the court case for A.M. You can read her whole story in the appellate opinion here.
