Officials ban more foster children at Manvel center
HOUSTON
The Houston Chronicle and The Texas Tribune, an online news
site, reported Tuesday that Texas officials have banned the
placement of additional foster care children at Daystar Residential
Inc. in Manvel.
Patrick Crimmins with the Texas Department of Family and
Protective Services says the "troubled facility" needs immediate
improvement.
A call for comment Tuesday to Daystar was not immediately
returned.
A review by the news publications found about 250 alleged
serious abuse incidents at residential treatment centers in the
past two years, in reports originally publicized June 6.
