State Judge Approves Receivership for EMPOWER Foster Care Agency in Texas

A state judge in Texas has appointed George Cannata, a regional director with Child Protective Services, to oversee foster care operations for EMPOWER in the North Texas region. This decision comes after two children died while under EMPOWERs care due to systemic failures, including no care plan for a newborn and reuniting another baby with abusive parents. The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services sought this receivership to protect children from immediate risks. EMPOWER, which has been handling foster care in the Dallas area and surrounding counties since 2021, will continue its contract during receivership, focusing on child safety and rebuilding trust in the foster care model.
