Really important story here from @KentuckyCIR and @JasmineADemers that all Kentuckians should care about.
Unheard: Louisville foster kids say they were harmed in residential care. Few were believed.

Very hype to publish this deep dive on @KentuckyCIR website today - in partnership w/ @grist.
It's a story that a lot of Kentuckians have been waiting for.

Most of the cases show that the kids who alleged abuse, neglect or danger were never even interviewed by state officials.
Important reporting from @JasmineADemers
KyCIR examined how the state investigates abuse in residential foster care. We found the system that’s supposed to protect children from harm often doesn’t. Instead, it sends a message to kids time and time again that they're untrustworthy and unbelievable.lpm.org/investigate/2023-11-…

The 2022 floods in eastern KY left a big mess. Politicians promised it'd get cleaned up.
Our reporters found that didn't happen. But the people hired to do the work still made a huge profit. And money is still flowing.
Tune in to hear the wild, dirty story of debris clean-up.
Tomorrow at 11 a.m. we’ll air “Dirty Business”, a one-hour radio documentary about the flood and debris removal process in eastern KY. It’s the culmination of nearly a year’s worth of reporting by @jaredtbennett and @Hicks_JustinM. Tune in on @WFPLNews!
