At least 110 Massachusetts children died of abuse- and neglect-related causes between 2009 and 2013. One in three of them had been under the watch of the state Department of Children and Families - whose mission includes preventing such tragedies. The New England Center for Investigative Reporting spent 10 months examining details of these children's short lives and deaths, revealing systemic problems and prompting quick action by state officials. http://necir.org/out-of-the-shadows/ http://features.necir.org/justice-denied-life-death
