New: A state health facilities official was scheduled to appear before lawmakers Tuesday to answer questions about an elderly, nonverbal man who died after being left in scalding water. Lawmakers say the Justice admin intervened & cancelled the meeting. westvirginiawatch.com/2024/04/16/law…
Lawmakers had planned to ask a state health facility official about an elderly patient’s gruesome death. They said the Justice admin had the public meeting cancelled. “A patient was boiled alive. We, the representatives of the people, deserve answers.” westvirginiawatch.com/2024/04/16/law…

.@WVUFLU introduced an amendment this year that would have allowed school boards to deny a homeschool request if a teacher reported abuse. His legislation is named for a girl who died of abuse/neglect after her parents withdrew her from school bc teachers contacted CPS.
New: The deceased Boone teen found emaciated was being homeschooled, according to docs obtained through a FOIA. The tragedy has reignited calls for the state to alter its homeschool laws in cases where there’s potential abuse. westvirginiawatch.com/2024/04/26/rec…
I did this story in WV back in 2011. They changed the state law to better oversee police because of my reporting. And yet, here we are. And Kyle has more cases now than I had back then. Excellent work on a neverending story.

Workers lay out the first of 8 murals to be installed in the rotunda of the #WVCapitol beginning this week. The scale is incredible, really, with some of the figures being essentially "life-size". The first mural to be installed [this one] depicts the Battle of Philippi.
