Report: Mississippi Foster Care System 'Well Beyond Crisis'

Report: Mississippi Foster Care System 'Well Beyond Crisis'

The report found that the state had not inspected the home where the baby died before the baby was placed there. Judith Meltzer, from the Center for Study of Social Policy, found that the baby's death was a result of poor documentation and failure to "properly collect and document information significant to the licensing process" and "record information in the case record."
