Alameda County, social worker face suit on behalf of child found abused
A lawsuit involving a 4-month-old infant, found visually impaired and brain- damaged from abuse in 2005 at the hands of a man whom county officials had placed the child with, may be headed to trial later this month.
The lawsuit, filed in 2007, names Alameda County as a defendant for failing to protect the child and for placing the infant in the home of the man, who had a criminal background that included drug and domestic violence offenses.
A worker in the county's Social Services Agency also is named as a defendant.
