Lawmakers in St. Paul are considering initiatives to better protect
children who are either neglected or abused. It's driving a huge
discussion at the Capitol to change laws, and also give families, social
workers, and foster parents more support.
This is largely inspired by a single case back in 2013 when a young boy named Eric Dean died at the hands of his step-mother. The abuse was reported to Pope County 15 times, yet his case still fell through the cracks. To this day, it's still a case that haunts lawmakers.
