Kudos to David Struett for his excellent coverage of 8-year-old Amaria Osby’s death. Amaria’s mother killed her on May 24, hours after the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services was in the home investigating a report of abuse.
We now know that DCFS received that report more than two months earlier, on March 23. The next day, DCFS unsuccessfully attempted to visit the home. DCFS then did nothing for the next two months. By then it was too late.
