Excerpt from www.weirtondailytimes.comCHARLESTON – State education officials and some lawmakers want to fix a gray area within West Virginia’s homeschool laws that could have possibly put county education officials in contact with the family of a Boone County girl who died in April, though other lawmakers urge caution in enacting new limits on homeschool families.
Reporters were briefed last week on an internal investigation by the Governor’s Office regarding past encounters by state agencies with the family of 14-year-old Kyneddi Miller. Boone County deputies found Miller dead in April in a skeletal and malnourished condition. Miller’s mother and grandparents were charged with child abuse causing death.
Child Protective Services had prior contact with Miller’s family in 2009 and 2017 unrelated to Miller herself, and West Virginia State Police troopers performed a welfare check at Miller’s home last year when family members reported having not seen Miller in a while.
