In episode 3, Deb and MaryAnne explore the failures of the child welfare system in protecting children like Zoey Felix and Adrian Jones. It highlights the importance of reporting child abuse and neglect and the need for systemic changes to prevent such tragedies. We cover topics such as the role of child protective services, the impact of homeschooling on child welfare, and the need for stronger legislation to protect vulnerable children.

The conversation discusses the failure of the child welfare system in Kansas, specifically focusing on the cases of Zoey Felix and Adrian Jones. It highlights the need for transparency and accountability within the system and calls for changes in child welfare laws. The conversation also addresses the increase in child deaths due to abuse and neglect and the lack of intervention programs for parent-child violence. It emphasizes the importance of holding agencies and individuals responsible for the safety of children and provides resources for support and reporting abuse.
