Show Notes
West Virginias foster care system faces significant challenges, including overworked staff, insufficient support, and a lack of foster homes. Governor Patrick Morrisey vetoed several bills aimed at addressing these issues, including a proposal to shift control of the critical incident review team and another to provide housing and stability for youth aging out at eighteen. Despite the veto, some delegates secured funding for child protection commissioners, and others suggested using federal dollars to cover costs. With ongoing struggles, expect more discussions in the next session to improve the system and protect vulnerable children.
