The Week in Review panelists go behind the headlines including: sexual harassment allegations forcing changes on Beacon Hill and in the U.S. Congress and an audit of the Department of Children and Families found at least 260 cases between 2014 and 2015 where a child under the care of DCF suffered a serious injury, but that injury was not noted in records.
