Children are dying from abuse and neglect in South Carolina, and the state agency charged with protecting them and ensuring their safety is failing miserably. Years of inadequate funding, lax oversight and poor leadership have left the South Carolina Department of Social Services in shambles. More children will die if this agency is not fixed, and it's up to Gov. Nikki Haley and South Carolina legislators to make sure that DSS has the trained employees and solid leadership it needs to fulfill its mission.
