{Frankfort, Kentucky}...Tuesday, Governor Steve Beshear ordered the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services to release all records from its reviews of child deaths and near deaths from abuse and neglect, absent certain information that would identify confidential tipsters. During a Capitol news conference, Beshear said he will press the legislature to pass a law next year to give clear guidance on the release of such information in the future. He also called for an independent review of the state's child protection policies and practices.
