Child Abuse In California

An investigative committee in Sacramento has concluded that the county's child-protective system places too much emphasis on family preservation at the expense of children's safety. The committee, which was formed after 3 year-old Adrian Conway was beaten to death at his home, also says that training for case workers could be improved. Robert Siegel speaks with the committee's chair, retired Superior Court Judge Eugene Gualco.
