Nicholas Aliverdian is a strong critic of DCYF, and he tells us this bill covers injuries sustained while he was supposed to be protected by DCYF. Aliverdian was shocked when he received a six-page medical bill and this letter asking for just under $207,000 for medical assistance.

Aliverdian tells Target 12 he'll continue to push for changes in the law to force DCYF to keep Rhode Island children in Rhode Island group homes. But he has no plans to pay the $206,918.39 bill.
