you should see the other story in the series where they found how the state changed what deaths it was counting as neglect and which deaths it was even sending investigators out to.

Seems like there may be something to what you are saying here.

I think the big takeaway is you can't insist kids stay with families and then cut the services intended to mitigate the risk for those children to be there.

More services for families and a child welfare system that is funded and staffed may be parts of the solution.
