FOIA Bombshell Reveals Child Sex Trafficking Fears

    A Freedom of Information Act bombshell has rocked Illinois. FOIA documents obtained by State House candidate Bailey Templeton reveal 166 foster children vanished from DCFS custody in 2024—a 935% spike from prior years. Templeton says the state’s child welfare agency is “cooking the books” to hide a disaster that may conceal a child sex trafficking ring. Law enforcement sources told The Family Court Circus the figures are “highly suspect” and “it would be shocking if a trafficking ring wasn’t operating under DCFS’s nose.” Meanwhile, Governor Pritzker and DCFS officials remain silent.
