PORTLAND - Eight children between the ages of 1 and 15 have been removed from a Sandy home after one of them, a foster child, was found in critical condition by emergency workers.

The hospitalized girl, age 5, had hit her head on a coffee table and suffered a seizure, according to authorities. The 28-pound girl also was malnourished, they said. She was in critical condition Thursday at a Portland hospital.

Three other foster children, three biological children of the couple who live in the house, and a Korean foreign exchange student were transferred into state foster care after the emergency call.
