Los Angeles child protection agency is ashamed at the fact that children died under the watch of their system. When Philip Browning became the lead in L.A County's agency he did not plan on letting everyone down, but instead some children were failed by his system and in result they died. It has taken a long time for Browning to improve his agency in order to help the 19,000 foster children and 160,000 child abuse complaints they receive. While in the system two children were beaten and tortured by a woman who adopted them from foster care. These problems began while the agency was under the care of the director at the time, Trish Ploehn and William Fujioka.
With the failure of Trish and William in the agency, Philip tried to approach the agency with a different plan to better the system. When he entered into the agency his need to want to make their system better was shown. He has issued a promise to reform his agency, which includes paying the employees more for those who work hard on child abuse investigations. He also will have better technology and management support. Thus, he is working diligently to improve the agency which was caused by the poor work of the former leaders of L.A County's child protection agency. Although, the agency was not very efficient in the beginning, change for the better is happening slowly to the agency to help more children.
