Virginia’s child welfare system faces scrutiny after 49 children died in fiscal 2025 despite prior involvement, due to systemic failures and missed interventions.
Virginia’s child welfare system is under scrutiny after 49 child deaths in fiscal year 2025 involved families already known to social services, with many cases marked by missed interventions despite clear warning signs.
Officials cite systemic failures, including staff shortages—44% of workers leave within a year—and delayed or denied responses to urgent cases, such as newborns born cocaine-positive or a homeless teen left with her infant.
Despite calls from top officials and the Children’s Ombudsman for urgent reform, recurring inaction underscores deep-rooted challenges in protecting vulnerable children.
