Reviews of child abuse deaths not always completed in KY

“A Herald-Leader analysis of 41 child fatalities in 2009 and 2010 found at least six cases where the Cabinet for Health and Family Services did not do an internal review even though there were previous reports involving the family before the child died.”

“The reviews are supposed to examine the cabinet’s actions in a case to see if there were missteps, and to identify needed improvements and training that could prevent future deaths.”
