State closes "flawed" office to help black children in welfare system
The Office of African-American Children's Services — once considered a national model in the way it tried to address the high number of black kids in the child-welfare system — has officially closed.
The state office, touted as a promising new concept when it opened in 2003, shut down in March, after a federal civil-rights investigation deemed it "deeply flawed."
