WASHINGTON- The Supreme Court says Los Angeles County does not have to pay damages to a couple listed as child abusers even though they were declared innocent years ago.
The high court's unanimous ruling came today.
Craig and Wendy Humphries were arrested by sheriff's deputies nine years ago after their rebellious daughter accused them of abuse. State courts ruled the allegation was false but they remain on California's Child Abuse Central Index.
In 2008, a federal appeals court found the system unconstitutional because there's no way for the innocent to clear their names. It ordered the state to come up with a new system and the county to pay damages.
But the high court now says Los Angeles County does not have to pay.
I guess this is what is called "sustainable government". To hell with the little people being ground up by this monster.
