Darnell Taylor, 5, of Columbus left, was reported missing early Wednesday. His foster mother, Pammy Maye, 48, right, said he was no longer alive before she fled a home on Reeb Avenue on the city's east side. Police are investigating.

The child welfare system in Ohio has come under scrutiny following the death of 5-year鈥搊ld Darnell Taylor.

Officials plan to charge the woman who was caring for the boy with murder.

The system as a whole is bulging with cases, a shortage of families and renewed questions about placement decisions.

How can the system be fixed?
