Description
The King 5 Investigators are committed to uncovering fraud, waste and injustices in our community. Each month we're putting together a roundup of investigations that garner results. In December's episode, here are the five stories we're spotlighting:
1. A troubling trend in child welfare: Advocates are working to overturn a state law that makes it harder for CPS to remove children from their homes. Dozens of experts say this law is killing children.
2. Gov. Jay Inslee has proposed a new plan to make Green Hill School for juvenile offenders in Chehalis safer and less crowded. But as KING 5's Chris Ingalls reports, the move may not solve all of the facility's problems.
3. There's a growing insurance crisis in Washington state as homeowners are being dropped due to wildfire risk. In the latest "Coverage Crisis" story, we show how firefighters are trying to change the decades-old rating system insurers use to drop customers.
4. Washington state lags behind much of the country in ensuring that city and county jails operate with humane standards. Experts say that's leading to unconstitutional suffering and unnecessary deaths.
5. Kids can't learn on an empty stomach, but a KING 5 investigation reveals students in many districts may be getting shorted on how much time they have to eat lunch.
