Summary:
In this episode of Kids at Risk Action, hosts Emma and Michael delve into the failures of Minnesota’s child protection system, highlighting the tragic case of six-year-old Eli Hart, who was murdered despite being known to Child Protective Services (CPS). They discuss the lack of data on the full scope of abuse and neglect within the system, pointing out how this lack of transparency and accountability contributes to the ongoing crisis. The hosts emphasize that the root cause of these failures lies in systemic issues like underfunding, high caseloads, and insufficient resources, rather than blaming individual social workers. They urge listeners to get involved by educating themselves, advocating for legislative reforms, and demanding better oversight to ensure that at-risk children are protected. The episode concludes with a call to action, urging listeners to push for change and ensure that no more children suffer in silence.
