Perris is a California city in Riverside County, 71 miles east of Los Angeles. Recent headlines reference a deadly skydiving incident at Perris and a separate Ohio foster-home rescue.
Seven children rescued on Tuesday are in hospital care, with one in critical condition. Officials say the group is under temporary state custody as investigations uncover years of abuse and neglect. The state faces a foster-care shortage and questions over caregivers. The Turpin case in California and related incidents are cited to illustrate systemic failures and ongoing challenges in child welfare.
