Melissa in the Morning: DCF Reform

from WICC The Voice of Connecticut · host WICC

Apparently, there is a child welfare reform bill now in the hands of the state Senate. House Bill 5004 passed the House with bipartisan support. It aims to increase oversight and accountability within DCF, following a series of high-profile cases that raised concerns in the past year. We spoke with Acting Child Advocate, Christina Ghio, about a recent suicide case with ties to DCF and what this new reform bill could effectively do to help the agency.
