Making child death records secret wouldn't serve foster youth

Making child death records secret wouldn't serve foster youth

To the editor: There is a term for the practice of government agencies and courts putting children in the hands of documented abusers: court-ordered child abuse. The recent attempt in the California Legislature to cover up this practice by denying access to records when a child dies of abuse and neglect is a step backward, and I applaud The Times for covering the issue.
