Republished from the Kids at Risk Action archive as written. No images from the original corpus appear in any form.

Summary:

This episode exposes how child deaths are hidden behind sealed records, secrecy laws, and “confidential” investigations that keep the public, media, and even lawmakers from seeing patterns of failure in child protection systems.

KARA asks why children keep dying in “known” dangerous homes and how non-disclosure shields agencies from accountability instead of driving urgent reform. Hear how the lack of child welfare transparency and accountability = secrecy in child protection cases, child death, and public non-disclosure

How (and why) CPS tracking reporting failures often lead to more child death and more closed records
