The Team

An unprecedented reporting team comprised of seasoned journalists with decades of experience covering child welfare nationally, intrepid student journalists doing enterprise reporting on this story, and leading national experts is working to identify and expose the underlying systemic problems in the child welfare system.

This includes the unfair and disproportionate impact of the failed child system on parents who have disabilities, mental health, and substance abuse issues; victims of domestic violence; people of color; and those facing economic hardship.
