Summary

When Indianapolis police responded to a 911 call for an unresponsive child on April 9, 2024, they couldn’t have guessed the horrific circumstances of the victim’s life and death. 5-year-old Kinsleigh Welty, who weighed only 21 pounds, was clearly malnourished. She had a bruise on her face and fecal matter on her body and matted into her hair, which was crawling with lice. Kinsleigh was pronounced dead at Riley Hospital for Children the same day.

This is the story of yet another child failed by Indiana’s child welfare system. It’s also the story of yet another case of reunification gone wrong and a child who thrived in the care of others, only to die at the hands of a biological parent.

Also in this episode, you’ll hear from Kinsleigh’s great-aunt, Carrie Hogan, who, along with many others, demands change from Indiana’s Department of Child Services.

This is the gut-wrenching story of Kinsleigh Welty.
