More details to this question:
My daughter was placed with her father when she was 3 and lived with him until she was 18 (she turned 18 11/26/2014) and moved in with me (her mother) the next day. She recently told myself and my fiance that she was sodomized by her half-brother (who was also placed with her father when he was young) when she was in 7th grade (approximately 5 years ago). I would like to know if there's a way to sue the state to win the money to get my daughter therapy for that abuse and other abuses she has told us about that occurred in that household over the past 15 years, which a psychologist has told me has caused my daughter to suffer from PTSD.....????

You must pursue two parallel paths on behalf of your daughter. First path is to contact the prosecutors office and tell them that a crime has been committed. Prosecutors office willinvestigate the crime and, if appropriate, bringcriminal charges against the defendant. The second parallel path you will be taking is to reach out to DYFS to say that your daughter has been subject to abuse anf neglect. If you take these two actions, you will have two parallel investigations taking place.if the person responsible is charged by either DYFS or the prosecutors office, and you may be in a position to request damages. Please call to discuss.
