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.
