“Unprotected” is an ongoing investigation by 7 News Detroit revealing gaps in Michigan’s child welfare system. Our reporting has documented how Child Protective Services (CPS) cases were closed prematurely, revealed how cries for help went uninvestigated and highlighted the consequences of staffing shortages. Our investigations have been cited in legislative hearings and led to calls for change. Most of our stories begin with a tip.
