CHILD WELFARE: Navigating a Fractured System, Part 2
We continue our special report on child welfare in Nebraska today.

Today, we’ll talk to families whose children need help outside the home. In both cases, critics of the child welfare system say the state is making the wrong choice – one that’s more expensive for Nebraska and more traumatic for families.
