Foster father charged with murder in toddler's death
Miller was one of two foster children in Sam's home, even though Sam and his
wife have a lengthy criminal past including one felony conviction and 14 misdemeanor convictions. His wife is wanted on two felony warrants. Hmmmmm... looks like Washington State's CPS are a bunch of disfunctional ninnys. They should be tried for reckless disreguard and sent to prison to meet Bubba. ============================= http://www.kxly.com/news/index.php?s...&story_id=4124 SPOKANE -- "Fantastically huge" is how doctors described to police the head injuries suffered by 20-month-old Devin Miller who died Sunday afternoon. His foster father, 37-year-old Avery Sam, was officially charged Monday with 2nd Degree Murder. Authorities are saying Devin Miller's death appears to be a case of Shaken Baby Syndrome. Court documents allege Sam is responsible for Miller's death. The boy is related to Sam and was placed in the home by Tribal Court and Child Protective Services. Miller was one of two foster children in Sam's home, even though Sam and his wife have a lengthy criminal past including one felony conviction and 14 misdemeanor convictions. His wife is wanted on two felony warrants. Investigators say Sam took the child to the hospital for medical attention Friday night after the toddler started having seizures. At the time the parents said the severe head injuries were from falling in the bathtub, but doctors quickly found signs of Shaken Baby Syndrome, including serious brain injuries and bleeding eyes. Along with a long criminal history , Sam was alleged in court to have a pattern of abuse. During Monday's hearing, relatives of Sam proclaimed his innocence from the gallery while a judge ordered him held on a $500,000 bond. |
