Overhauling The Foster Care System: A Conversation With Dr. Karen Baynes-Dunning
In 2002, Georgia’s foster care system within Fulton and DeKalb County was called flawed, and some even said a broken agency.

Eventually, in 2005, a consent decree was agreed to by both parties to fix the foster care system, including court appointed monitors.
At that time, Dr. Karen Baynes-Dunning was a juvenile court judge, but she now serves as one of the court appointed monitors.
