Judge: Social workers ignored reports of abuse before slaying of 9-year-old
State social workers failed to protect a 9-year-old Todd County girl who was brutally beaten to death, ignoring repeated reports by school officials that they suspected she was being abused, a Kentucky judge said in a ruling on Monday.
The Cabinet for Health and Family Services had approved the little girl's adoption even though it had substantiated an earlier case of abuse in the home, according to Franklin Circuit Judge Phillip J. Shepherd.
