Elizabeth Burke Bryant, policy professor and executive director of Rhode Island Kids Count, recently presented a new Kids Count report 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."
