Oregon DHS: a long history of neglect
The death of Jeanette Maples reads like the attempted suicide of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, with one fatal exception: Only the Nigerian had a death wish, and only Maples died, beaten and tortured -- authorities say -- by her loving mother and stepfather.
Just as Abdulmutallab slipped through the cracks of our counterterrorism community before boarding that Delta flight on Christmas Day, the 15-year-old Maples drifted unnoticed past the state's crack Department of Human Services. In both cases, no one cared enough to connect the dots, to heed the warnings of those who were paying attention.
