Washington Mayor to Fire Six Workers after Jack Girls Found Dead
Washington Mayor to Fire Six Workers after Jack Girls Found Dead
By Dan Keane 15:12, January 15th 2008 http://www.efluxmedia.com/news_Washi...ead_12834.html Washington Mayor to Fire Six Workers after Jack Girls Found Dead Mayor of Washington, D.C., Adrian Fenty announced he would fire at least six child welfare workers in connection with the four dead girls who had been found Wednesday when deputy U.S. marshals served an eviction notice at an apartment. The girls ages 5, 6, 11 and 16 are believed by authorities to have been killed sometime in late spring or summer as their bodies were in an advanced state of decomposition. The girls’ mother Banita Jack, who has been charged with murdering her children, allegedly had been living with the corpses for several months. Kathy Lopes, a social worker at the school where the oldest girl, Brittany was a student tried twice in April to raise concerns about the family, after the girl missed the courses for 33 days in a row. According to the tapes, which Fenty played at a news conference Monday, Lopes describes how she visited the house, but was not allowed either to enter or to talk with the oldest girl, although she saw her inside the house. She also saw the other girls watching TV inside the house. The girl’ mother further told Lopes that she would not allow Brittany to go to school because she was afraid that the girl might run away. Following her visit to the house Lopes called at the Child and Family Services Agency and after that to the police expressing her frustration at being transferred among several departments. She further warned the employers at the CFSA “the mother is suffering from some mental illness and is holding all the children hostage,” the tape said, according to Washington Post. Lopes received Fenty’s admiration, while six employees at the CFSA were fired due to inadequate response to the warnings sent by Lopes. “Unfortunately, she stands out really because so many other people didn't do their job in the way they're supposed to. The sense of urgency that she showed should be shown in every case and every call that comes through our hot line,” Fenty said, according to the Associated Press. In response, Sharlynn Bobo, director of the CFSA expressed her regret for the way the case was handled. “We deeply regret — I deeply regret — our failures in responding effectively and rapidly to this family,” she said. More workers could lose their job as an investigation on the case continues, Fenty said.

BE SURE TO FIND OUT WHERE YOUR CANDIDATES STANDS ON THE ISSUE OF REFORMING OR ABOLISHING CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES ("MAKE YOUR CANDIDATES TAKE A STAND ON THIS ISSUE.") THEN REMEMBER TO VOTE ACCORDINGLY IF THEY ARE "FAMILY UNFRIENDLY" IN THE NEXT ELECTION... At exactly what point, prior to finding the girls dead, by accident as it were, delivering an eviction notice, was there enough information to either act on exigency and force entry, or was their enough information to obtain a warrant to enter? Refusal to allow the children to speak to a worker is a time honored ploy of the antiCPS folks standing on "Violation of Civil Rights," as is refusal to allow entry at all on the same claim of 'parental rights.' Tell a judge you had a report that the children were not attending school, the mother had prior contact with the agency, and a school teacher was concerned because she hadn't been allowed to talk to the children THAT NO LONGER ATTENDED HER SCHOOL, and watch the judge make a thumbs down at you. No warrant will issue except on....etc. Remember, boyos? No INJURY WAS REPORTED on these children. And as Greg likes to say, "neglect" is not serious enough when collecting data to count it as 'abuse.' And for that matter no neglect was actually seen prior to their death. (Unless the Grandmother knew of it and kept it to herself...Greg's favorite kind of Grandmother). Name the condition that existed that would have produced a warrant or allowed for exigent circumstances. And do NOT name anything that was found out only AFTER the fact. Only what was KNOWN before. Yes, lack of 'imminent danger' that eventually ended in the deaths of the children. Still, I can't help but wonder if CPS had persisted, would they have found sufficient cause when the bodies began to deteriorate and the stench would have raised suspicion to those knocking on the door requesting admittance? This was an apartment? I wonder why no one in the building made complaints about the odors that must have been present and obvious. Awful, just awful. However, nothing, as you point out FM, was evident to warrant further interaction by the state. The complaint that initiated the contact with DFS was that a sixteen year old girl was not attending classes. I believe that in most, if not all states, children can drop out at 16. I hardly think that once DFS visited the home and saw the child, as well as the other children, they had no call to further investigate. I wish they had though. |
