Georgia’s child welfare system leaves children in danger, according a federal review.
The preliminary review found that Georgia leaves welfare children in homes where they are being maltreated, and doesn’t accurately report that abuse.
The review also found that the state is not investigating cases of children sexually abusing other children while in care.
The review covered cases in Fulton, Floyd and Walton counties.
Today Georgia’s Child Advocate Dee Simms characterized Georgia’s performance in taking care of children as getting a grade F.
