UPDATE: Foster parents claim Rep. Harris lied, used connections to adopt girl who was raped later

Foster parents who took care of two girls before they were adopted by Arkansas state Rep. Justin Harris and his wife said Harris lied when he blamed social service workers.

The foster parents said they warned the couple repeatedly about the two girls.

They said the adoption proceeded over the objection of the foster couple and of Department of Human Services staff after Cecile Blucker, the head of Division of Children and Family Services, exerted pressure on the Harris’ behalf.

The Harrises claim they weren’t told what they were getting into and they said when they spoke to Blucker about the trouble they were having with the girls, she threatened them with child abandonment charges.
