A new report from the Colorado Department of Health and Human Services on the fatal beating of an 8-year-old boy blamed Denver Public Schools — not human services workers — for the child’s death. The department’s Child Fatality Review Team found no fault with human service workers in the death of 8-year-old Dametrious Wilson, pointing instead to “systemic gaps” and “deficiencies” within the school district, including a failure to report Wilson’s numerous absences to human services or as truancy. “DPS is not in agreement with CDHS concluding in their own report that the only system error they could identify lies solely with DPS and school attendance,” Denver Public Schools spokesperson Scott Pribble said in an emailed statement to the Denver Post. Pribble said the school district has been working on updating attendance guidelines and focusing on interventions for chronic absenteeism, which measures both unexcused and excused absences. “This work predates Dametrious’s murder,” Pribble said. State officials also criticized the school’s lack of communication with other family members when staff was unable to make contact with Susan Baffour — the boy’s great aunt and custodial guardian — to discuss Wilson’s absences, according to the report. On June 2, 2022, Baffour hit Wilson more than 40 times with a wooden back scrubber for tearing part of her couch.

The United States and Germany recently authorized Ukraine to hit some targets on Russian soil with the long-range weapons they are supplying to Kyiv. On Wednesday, a Western official and a U.
