At Birth, She Already Had a Case File.

At 7 Years Old, She Was Dead.

A child welfare system meant to protect

Julissia Batties from an abusive home life

failed the ultimate test.

Penn State (Sandusky Sex Abuse Scandal)

Nestled in a mountain range,

the idyllic community

that surrounds the campus of Penn State

is often referred to as Happy Valley.

But on an otherwise sunny,

peaceful day in November 2011,

residents throughout the area

awoke to blaring headlines

and news of unthinkable child abuse crimes

that led to the arrests of a prominent

former assistant football coach

and two top university officials.

The State Took His Kids Three Times.

And Three Times It Gave Them Back.

In Southern Illinois,

many families suspected of neglect

cycle through the child welfare system.

Too often they don’t get the help they need.
