Two Foster Mothers Accused of Killing Children Under Their Care
Two Foster Mothers Accused of Killing Children Under Their Care
Last Update: 4/23 7:44 pm http://www.fox6.com/mostpopular/stor...2-db01dd9c169f Special Needs Child A woman accused in the beating death of a 23-month-old foster child under her care must stand trial on murder and assault charges, a judge ruled Wednesday. Linda Faye Coleman, 48, is charged in the death last June of Malachi McBride-Roberts, who was just shy of his second birthday. San Diego County Deputy Medical Examiner Beth Ann Schaber testified during a daylong preliminary hearing that the victim died of blunt force trauma to the head, consistent with inflicted trauma. During the child's autopsy, Schaber noted trauma to the toddler's head, torso and extremities. The victim had at least 29 different impact areas on his head and hemorrhaging under his scalp, Schaber said. Under questioning from defense attorney Brian Watkins, Schaber said the child's injuries could not have been caused by a normal fall. Coleman was arrested when homicide detectives determined that the injuries suffered by the toddler were inconsistent with the foster mother's version of events. Prosecutors said the defendant called 911 last June 27, saying the victim was having a seizure at the home in the 900 block of South 45th Street. Coleman was looking after the victim and another foster child and was the only adult at home at the time the child became non-responsive, prosecutor Marisa Di Tillio said. The victim had injuries to his head, a swollen brain and "bruises all over his body" when he arrived at Rady Children's Hospital, witnesses testified. The child was taken off life-support and died more than two days later. Watkins said Coleman had been a licensed day care provider for 15 years and a foster care parent for 10 years. Coleman faces 25 years to life if convicted. Judge Melinda Lasater ordered her back to court May 15 for arraignment in Superior Court and to get a trial date. Vista Foster Mom A young woman accused of fatally bludgeoning her 4-year-old foster daughter must stand trial on murder and assault charges, a judge ruled Wednesday. Dania Yesenia Haros, 23, is accused in the Nov. 19, 2006, death of Angelina Espalin, who suffered brain swelling, numerous bruises to the face and body and 30 hemorrhages to her scalp, prosecutor Kelly Mok said. The county Medical Examiner's Office declared it a homicide, but it took a year to investigate the circumstances surrounding the child's death, Mok said. The prosecutor said Haros admitted beating the victim, who was in her care for about six months. The defendant is suspected of beating the girl the night before she and her husband took the child to Rady Children's Hospital. Judge Runston Maino, who presided over today's preliminary hearing at the Vista Courthouse, ruled enough evidence was presented to take the case to trial. Haros -- who is being held on $5 million bail -- will be back in court May 7 for arraignment in Superior Court. An Inconvenient Truth about Child Protective Services, Foster care, and the Child Protection "INDUSTRY" Child Protective Services Does not protect children... It is sickening how many children are subject to abuse, neglect and even killed at the hands of CPS. every parent should read the free handbook from connecticut dcf watch... http://www.connecticutdcfwatch.com Number of Cases per 100,000 children in the US These numbers come from The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect in Washington. (NCCAN) Recent numbers have increased significantly for CPS Perpetrators of Maltreatment Physical Abuse CPS/Foster care 160, biological Parents 59 Sexual Abuse CPS/Foster care 112, biological Parents 13 Neglect CPS/Foster care 410, biological Parents 241 Medical Neglect CPS/Foster care 14 biological Parents 12 Fatalities CPS/Foster care 6.4, biological Parents 1.5 Imagine that, 6.4 children die at the hands of the very agencies that are supposed to protect them and only 1.5 at the hands of parents per 100,000 children. CPS perpetrates more abuse, neglect, and sexual abuse and kills more children then parents in the United States. If the citizens of this country hold CPS to the same standards that they hold parents too. No judge should ever put another child in the hands of ANY government agency because CPS nationwide is guilty of more harm and death than any human being combined. CPS nationwide is guilty of more human rights violations and deaths of children then the homes from which they were removed. When are the judges going to wake up and see that they are sending children to their death and a life of abuse when children are removed from safe homes based on the mere opinion of a bunch of social workers.

Some experts estimate that about 30% of the children in care have marked or severe emotional problems. Various studies have indicated that children and young people in foster care tend to have limited education and job skills, perform poorly in school compared to children who are not in foster care, lag behind in their education by at least one year, and have lower educational attainment than the general population. *Casey Family Programs National Center for Resource Family Support 80 percent of prison inmates have been through the foster care system. The highest ranking federal official in charge of foster care, Wade Horn of the Department of Health and Human Services, is a former child psychologist who says the foster care system is a giant mess and should just be blown up. http://abcnews.go.com/print?id=2017991 Four rigorous studies have found that at least 30 percent of America’s foster children could be home right now if their parents had decent housing. This study found thousands of children already in foster care who would have done better had child protection agencies not taken them away in the first place.
