Summary	The Seattle Post-Intelligencer documents "how abuse and neglect are killing more children across Washington than officials have acknowledged and that too little is being done to prevent -- or even investigate -- such deaths... Part One, Fatal Neglect, told the story of how dozens of children who were supposed to be protected by state Child Protective Services died of abuse and neglect over the last five years in homes known to be unsafe... Part Two, The Truth Dies With Them, examined the flaws in how legal and medical authorities investigate the suspicious deaths of young children across the state."
