弗吉尼亚的儿童福利制度在2025年财政期间有49名儿童死亡, Virginia’s child welfare system faces scrutiny after 49 children died in fiscal 2025 despite prior involvement, due to systemic failures and missed interventions.

弗吉尼亚的儿童福利制度在2025财政年度有49名儿童死亡,涉及社会服务部门已经知道的家庭,尽管有明确的警告信号,但许多案件仍以干预失灵而闻名。 Virginia’s child welfare system is under scrutiny after 49 child deaths in fiscal year 2025 involved families already known to social services, with many cases marked by missed interventions despite clear warning signs. 官员列举了系统性的失败,包括工作人员短缺——44%的工人在一年内休假——以及拖延或拒绝对紧急情况作出反应,例如出生的可卡因阳性新生儿或与婴儿一起离开的无家可归的青少年。 Officials cite systemic failures, including staff shortages—44% of workers leave within a year—and delayed or denied responses to urgent cases, such as newborns born cocaine-positive or a homeless teen left with her infant. 尽管高级官员和儿童监察员呼吁紧急改革,但反复无动于衷突出表明了在保护弱势儿童方面根深蒂固的挑战。 Despite calls from top officials and the Children’s Ombudsman for urgent reform, recurring inaction underscores deep-rooted challenges in protecting vulnerable children.
