Ind. Law - More on "Independent official would review deaths of children in custody"
Updating this ILB entry from Feb. 19th and this follow-up from Feb. 26th, the Indianapolis Star today has this editorial, headed "Door slams shut on children." It begins:
Those who want to see Indiana employ an independent ombudsman to deal with the state on behalf of imperiled children and troubled families were worried that legislation to create that job might be too weak.It turns out they had more to fear.
Stunning advocates of the strongly supported bill, state Sen. Luke Kenley denied it a vote in the Appropriations Committee, which he chairs, effectively killing it for this session of the General Assembly.
None of his explanations makes sense.
