The foster parents....you could submit claims/receipts to the department of social services (or whatever your state calls it) for reimbursement.....but they will probably say the daily stipend can be used for that.....definitely inform the social worker of any damage so that they can address these issues with child and find best placement for child and services to put into place

Typically, if the child is a minor, it is the person/people/agency that is responsible for the representation and well being of the child.
More info is needed. Are you a foster parent and the child you're caring for has caused damage? Because the county would be responsible for reimbursment for damages.
If you are a neighbor or another that had a child that is in foster care do damage, then you need to speak to the foster parents. They would then need to contact the social worker/case manager of the child to discuss compensation due to you. Either way, contact the person responsible for the child.
Due to confidentiality laws, the foster parent may not be able to reveal any information directly to you, but may need to be the middle man, so to speak. Good luck!

The legal guardian of the child. In this case the foster parent.

The foster parent, because they are the guardian of that child - so even though this child may come to you in a "damaged" state, they are your responsibilty and you need to parent them. I knew a neighbour who was a foster mother and she had 3 boys in her house and never watched any of them. The eldest set a fire to the townhouse complex we live in and the womyn was shocked that she was held responsible.

In most states, THE CHILD! Good luck on enforcing the judgment and collecting...You may be just spinning your wheels if the kid has no assets or job.
Some states have a cause of action where parental negligence can be plead, and the guardians are responsible.
I recommend speaking with an attorney, concerning your jurisdiction's laws.

You assume the child, you are paid to care for the child, it is your responsibility.
