The Interim Commissioner of DCS, Jim Henry, has announced that the $27 million dollar TFACTS system installed by former Commissioner Viola Miller, has finally been, mostly fixed. A list of 1,700 defects identified a year ago have been reduced to around 383. Jim Henry claims that the new data reveals that 14 children died in DCS custody in 2011 and 11 more died in 2012. This number does not include children who died while part of open DCS investigations, but were not yet in the legal custody of DCS.
Nashville U.S. District Court Judge Todd Campbell suggested that DCS should compare its files to obituaries to figure out the names of deceased children and ordered DCS to report back to the Court in April.
