"Monique Meak's Case" is 33639 words long. It is about a four-year-old child. Despite needing constant supervision, she was scalded in a foster home bathtub. This is a harrowing story which captures the plight of an abused, developmentally delayed child caught up in systemic institutional failures. While battling his own Bipolar I, attorney Thomas Frazier fought for four years to hold responsible those who harmed Meak. Pleadings and correspondence are quoted. In the end, he won a better-than-expected settlement and established a trust fund for the child. He also changed how foster homes are certified by the State -- they must now have anti-scald devices installed.
