Czech Minister Admits Oversight Failures in Viktoria Case; Death Preventable

Czech Minister Aleš Juchelka acknowledged that authorities had prior information about serious problems in the family of three-year-old Viktoria but failed to assess them correctly, and that more thorough oversight could have prevented her death. The statement follows a commission conclusion and marks an official admission of systemic failure in child protection. The case is likely to prompt scrutiny of social services and potential policy reforms.
