HAYWARD - The city of Hayward filed a lawsuit Thursday against Alameda County over alleged"willful mismanagement" of a transitional center for foster youth where the city says children frequently go missing, are exposed to or coerced into drug use, assaults and other forms of violence, sex trafficking and prostitution.
The lawsuit, which comes after the city's multiple attempts to get the county to intervene at the transitional center, asks the county to cease operations of the center"until procedures and policies can be put in place" to protect the health and safety of foster youth. Since then, calls to Hayward police and firefighter-paramedics"skyrocketed," resulting in over 750 police hours spent on center-related calls and incidents.
