Children's Rights Calls Mass. Child Welfare System Fifth Worse-Run Nationally

In a scathing 171-page report, filed in a federal class-action lawsuit against Mass. Gov. Duval Patrick, the New York-based Children's Rights terms the Mass. child welfare system the fifth worst-managed in the country, and says that the mismanagement has resulted in the neglect and abuse of one-in-five kids in state custody. Massachusetts currently ranks eight worst nationally for child abuse and neglect, according to Children's Rights.

This means that 45 other states child welfare systems are run better than yours.
