Make DCFS follow the law

Is the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services going to be allowed to brazenly disregard the law? In 2007 state legislators passed a bill that required DCFS to make public its files if a child under its care died.

Instead it recently released a report that condensed hundreds of pages of records into an 11-page summary.
