Rhode Island Department of Children, Youth & Families has been reverted twice. Latest version prior to these edits is well sourced and two editors have deleted everything with the simple reason of it being "undue junk." If an admin could have a look, please.

That's a sentence that was in the article and which was tagged with a clarification-needed-template. The source link is dead, but I found an archived version of the referenced article here (note that the link leads to page 3 of the article). I have added the missing archive link and the missing part of the sentence here on Wikipedia. However, I've hidden / commented out my additions and the above sentence as a whole because I don't think that it contributes much or anything to the article, and because the source does not appear to be reliable as it contains information that is known to be not true.
First, I'd like to post the original quote from the source that the above sentence was referring to:
Your superior correspondents suggest that you and the “powers that be” in the state of Rhode Island should listen to what Nicholas Alahverdian has to say. We can and should do a better job because there is plenty of horror out there.
This statement doesn't seem to add anything to this Wikipedia article. Furthermore, it doesn't say that those in power should listen to Nicholas A. "so that foster care abuse and deaths can be prevented". This might be borderline WP:OR. The story of Nicholas A. is narrated on page 2 of the article here. However, it mentions that Nicholas A. had studied in Harvard, which is known to be a false claim. So, not sure whether this source and statement deserve inclusion on Wikipedia at all.
