Ross: Getting to the root of the DCF tragedies

Many of my constituents have contacted me in regard to the recent developments in the scandal plagued Department of Children and Families (DCF). No issue has brought to the foreground the failure of an executive agency like the tragic events under DCF oversight. The outrage is understandable since this agency is charged with serving the commonwealth’s most vulnerable residents – children and families at risk of abuse and neglect. DCF appears to have exhibited general negligence and inattention to its primary duty.
