Governor calls for investigation into reports of Wichita children failed by system

The following is a statement by Governor Kathleen Sebelius, responding to the mistreatment of two Wichita children:

“The safety and security of all Kansas children is a top priority for me as Governor and as a mother.  I’m appalled at how the system appears to have failed these two girls.  I want to know exactly what went wrong so we can make sure it never happens again, and have ordered my chief counsel to conduct an immediate investigation.”
