A COUNTY council is being threatened with legal action over the proposed closure of six children's care homes.
Lancashire County Council wants to close homes and divert the funds freed into attracting more foster care.
But the union Unison says there are not enough foster carers.
Current resident Mirian Boyd, aged 18, says she was once placed 80 miles from her family and may sue the council for "infringing her human rights".
