State Reviews 13 Child Deaths, Finds Systematic Errors

[Sumanadevii]

And how many we will never know about???? We have the laws. We don't enforce them. At times, we are no better off today than years ago.

DENVER -- A state review of 13 recent child deaths released Tuesday found systematic problems like social service workers not interviewing suspected child abusers, not checking backgrounds including sex offenses and not entering the information into the statewide database.

Many of the findings mirror an 11-month CALL7 investigation showing flaws in Colorado’s child protection system.

IMO, we need reform in social services across the board, in every state.

Errors like this, sadly, are not rare. :(

And you have to wonder how back logged are they in entering their data. It's a shame.
