The Connecticut Office of the Child Advocate issued a report on Dec.r 22, 2015, strongly blaming the Department of Children and Families for failing to prevent the death of Londyn S., a 2-year-old who resided in a clearly abusive and neglectful home. The report is available online and describes how DCF ignored numerous red flags and failed to investigate police concerns.
The impression to the public may be that DCF is not aggressive in investigating complaints of child abuse or neglect and has to get tougher.
That would be a misleading impression: DCF is already quite aggressive, in most cases, as thousands of Connecticut families have discovered.
