Investigating child welfare in NC and beyond in the wake of a Charlotte girl’s death

from Charlotte Talks With Mike Collins · host Gabe Altieri

A bill is moving through the North Carolina General Assembly named after Dominique Moody. The 6-year-old died last year after being beaten and starved. Investigations found that the Mecklenburg County Department of Social Services had received reports of abuse but failed to protect the child. We look at that failure, the role local reporting played in exposing it and what this bill would do to address it.
