Baby Kaylan's death leads to an increased number of child abuse calls to CPS

When news of baby Kaylan Broumley's fatal injuries surfaced, the phone began ringing at the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. "In two days there were 17 intakes of abuse and neglect to the Nacogdoches office of Child Protective Services," said Lisa King, Chairperson of the Nacogdoches Child Welfare Board. "And these were either filed through the 1-800 hotline, or on line." The calls kept coming. Ten cases over the weekend after Kaylan's death. Seven more the next week. "In a week's time abuse calls more than doubled," said Shari Pulliam, spokesperson for the TDFPS. "For the outcry to have occurred across the county is something that shows people are very concerned about abuse and neglect," commented King.
