If Logan Marr had come to me and told me that her foster mother was abusing her, I would have comforted her as best I could and reported the disclosure of abuse to Child Protective Services. If I was her case manager, I would also ensure that Logan was safe while an investigation took place by visiting regularly or removing her from the home if necessary.
