Statement issued by Riverside County Executive Officer Jeff Van Wagenen: Summary of Changes to Improve Outcomes for Vulnerable Children
January 30, 2026
The trauma endured by this family is heartbreaking. The abuse these children suffered in both their biological and adoptive homes was tragic and unacceptable.
Their experiences, and those of other vulnerable children, led the County to initiate the independent investigation by former federal Judge Stephen Larson in 2021, which resulted in significant reforms to how the County serves and protects children in its care. This review was driven by difficult lessons and guided by a commitment to transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement.
No one wants this to happen again.
