From The Seattle Times:
"Washington's Child Protective Services (CPS) is scrambling to determine if it mishandled a child-neglect complaint in February against a Kent mother now accused of letting two of her children die of thirst and starvation.
Marie G. Robinson was shaking and crying during her first appearance in King County District Court yesterday on suspicion of two counts of second-degree murder and one count of child maltreatment.
Judge Robert McBeth, calling the allegations against Robinson "very disturbing," ordered her held in lieu of $2 million bail. Prosecutors have until tomorrow morning to file charges.
According to Kent police, Justice Robinson, 16 months, and Raiden Robinson, 6 weeks, likely were dead for several days before their father and paternal grandmother, who had knocked on their door and received no answer, called police Sunday. Police found the boys' emaciated bodies in an apartment littered with trash and empty beer cans."
Child protective apparently received 4 complaints about this lady and what in the hell did they do? They lost the friggin' file!!!!! Then they call the missing documents a "concern". A concern? I get concerned with my daughter doesn't eat all of her dinner or when my son plays too much Halo 2. TWO KIDS DIED PARTIALLY DUE TO YOUR NEGLIGENCE AND YOU ARE CONCERNED? UGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Stop with the government agency bullshit and do your job. Protect kids!
I know the drunk nut-job mother with seven kids who paused to get a beer out of the closet when police arrived is the blame as well, but someone at the CPS better step up to the plate and accept some responsibility. This shouldn't happen. A crazy drunk woman that has been reported to child protective services four times should not get a fifth strike. Someone gave her another chance and it costs the lives of two children.
