Clint Blansett’s 10-year-old son had been dead just a few days when a social worker from the state knocked on the family’s door in south-central Kansas.
She wasn’t there to offer condolences after Caleb’s death or ask about his sister, Blansett said.
She wanted him to sign a form saying he wouldn’t talk about his son’s death or the Kansas Department for Children and Families. No details about the agency had with the family before Caleb’s mom smashed his head with a rock while he slept and then stabbed him seven times.
“It was a gag order,” Blansett said. “She was there for DCF; she wasn’t there for me, she wasn’t there for my daughter. She was there to ensure that I wouldn’t speak to the press. That was her only concern.”
