Missouri Improves On Child Welfare, But Not By Much
A recent Kansas City Star article boasted the headline Missouri’s child-welfare ranking improves in national study. I eagerly read the story about The Annie E. Casey Foundation’s 2010 Kids Count annual report, which is an annual analysis of child welfare statistics around the nation. What I found was that Missouri’s performance improved slightly, but we shouldn’t break out the champagne and cue the band just yet. When it comes to making kids count, Missouri, just like a lot of other states, all too often has the wrong priorities.
