The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services is facing new scrutiny.
"These are actual kids already traumatized and they're being told – ‘here sleep on a floor' -- because we don't have anywhere for you to sleep," Golbert said.
The Cook County Public Guardian is accusing the agency of forcing children to sleep on the floor because of a shortage of beds. Charles Golbert says he knows of seven such children who have been forced to sleep on a cold floor, and after trying to go through the proper legal channels to get DCFS to open their records, he is taking his case to court.
