From Jen Soto To Jake Harrow: Why America’s Child Protection System is Broken Beyond Repair

From Jen Soto To Jake Harrow: Why America’s Child Protection
System is Broken Beyond Repair

The final segment of this Hidden Killers Live breakdown brings
the conversation to its most haunting point: how could Jake Haro
ever be rated “low risk” after nearly killing his first
child?

Tony Brueski and Shavaun Scott examine the checklist
mentality of child protective services and probation
programs, where compliance and paperwork are valued over
real-world judgment. Shavaun shares a devastating personal case
from her career: a young boy she warned was unsafe with his
mother, only for the court to ignore her. On the first
unsupervised weekend visit, the child was killed in a preventable
accident.

The discussion reveals how overworked
caseworkers, undertrained judges, and
overloaded systems consistently push dangerous
parents back into homes, leaving children to suffer or die. They
highlight the staggering statistic that 50% of child
fatalities occur in families already known to CPS, and
yet the cycle continues.

Tony and Shavaun close with a passionate call for reform,
demanding more accountability, better training, and a fundamental
shift away from blind faith in rehabilitation toward prioritizing
child safety above all else.
