Sixteen children removed from Ohio family amid statewide crisis
Original: ‘A persistent crisis’: the 16 children removed from an Ohio family are part of a statewide issue https://www. theguardia
Sixteen children have been removed from a single family in Ohio, a case that state officials and advocates describe as part of a broader, persistent crisis in child welfare across Ohio. The Guardian reports the removal points to systemic failures rather than an isolated incident, reigniting debate over funding, oversight and support for at-risk families in the state.
Why now: The scale of the removal from one family has drawn attention to ongoing child welfare failures in Ohio.
