News-Leader column explores Wooden death

Columnist Sarah Overstreet explores the death of eight-year-old Braxton Wooden in today's Springfield News-Leader.
Again, as I have noted with The Joplin Globe's extensive coverage of this horrible incident, the media is working in its proper role of examining how the government works and pointing out when it doesn't.
Ms. Overstreet notes that in the situation of Family Services, the same people are investigating the situation whose policies may have brought it about in the first place.
