A Clearwater couple could be facing charges in Citrus County after former foster kids accuse them of abuse.
The Pinellas-Pasco State Attorney’s office said the statute of limitation had expired in the cases, however another Florida county may be able to prosecute.
More than 20 former and current foster children are suing a foster family in Clearwater. The lawsuit alleges decades of mental, physical and sexual abuse. Some of the alleged victims say they were subjected to manual labor from sun up to sun down, left with little food to eat and cruel living conditions.
