A yearlong multi-part investigation into privatized Medicaid that shows some corporations are delaying and denying life-or-death care to increase their profits.
Child Protective Services crisis
- When 4-year-old Leiliana Wright needed Dallas CPS most, it failed at every turn
- Staggering number of Texas children in imminent danger neglected by CPS
- CPS workers didn’t check on endangered kids but filed records showing they did
- Hundreds of Houston-area children left unseen, thousands seen late, as CPS crisis continues
- Child abuse deaths rose and CPS crisis worsened despite Gov. Greg Abbott’s pressure to reform ‘broken’ system
(This rolling investigation unfolded over many months and led to multiple firings and criminal state and federal investigations. This link goes to three key stories submitted for an award because the Statesman‘s links keep breaking, and my bylines keep disappearing because of technical issues.)
