Last Update: 08/25/2008

Country:

Nearly 7,000 Washington child-care providers have agreed to a class action settlement against the state of Washington. This will require the state to reform it's investigative practices. The settlement also calls fro the state to pay more than $2 million to settle individual civil rights claims of certain child-care providers who participated in this case.

The lawsuit arose out of a 2002 mass raid on more than 50 Latina providers in Mattawa by the Department of Social and Health Services. The providers claimed that state investigators violated their constitutional rights.
