Missouri KidsFirst is pleased to award the Standing with Children Award to Laura Bauer and Judy L. Thomas, journalists, The Kansas City Star for their longtime commitment to raising awareness of issues of child abuse and neglect in our state through their reporting. In 2020-21, their thorough coverage of the lack of oversight of Missouri's unlicensed youth residential facilities led to a statewide criminal investigation and the introduction of most comprehensive legislation to address abuse in these facilities in the state's history.
