West Virginia's Child Welfare Crisis: Where's the Progress?

West Virginias Child Welfare System Fails Again: Amelia Knisely Uncovers Stalled Referral System, Lack of Transparency

West Virginia reporter Amelia Knisely reveals the states child welfare systems continued failure, as a promised referral system to help families before sending them to Child Protective Services never materialized. Lawmakers were also kept in the dark about the stalled plan. The lack of transparency and progress in the system has led to more families falling through the cracks and a loss of trust in the system. Kniselys investigation into the stalled deal with contractor Evident Change was met with stonewalling, and her Freedom of Information Act request took five months to receive a response. The Morrisey team is now under pressure to provide clear answers and ensure that child welfare is improving, as more lives hang in the balance.
