State Report Recommends State Takeover Of Welfare, Child Protection

A governor's committee report called for sweeping changes to the welfare and child protection systems, recommending the state take over major aspects of human services in Colorado.

“There is little or no accountability in this system because the responsibility is so shared and nobody -- not even the legislature -- really understands how things happen or don't happen," said Shari Shink, executive director of the Rocky Mountain Children's Law Center and a member of the action committee.
