December 15, 2015 The Providence Journal

Elizabeth Burke Bryant comments on a recently published report by a child advocacy group that states 1,450 Rhode Island children under the age of 6 were neglected or abused in fiscal 2015. "We're concerned about all children in the child welfare system," she said, but younger children "who are abused and neglected need the system to respond quickly to meet their needs in the best and safest way possible."
