New Report Blasts Florida Over Child Abuse Deaths

Department of Children and Families on Tuesday releases report prepared by a private non-profit organization

A scathing new report is critical of the state's efforts to prevent child abuse deaths across Florida.

The Department of Children and Families on Tuesday released a report prepared by a private non-profit organization.


Interim DCF Secretary Esther Jacobo asked for the review after news reports revealed that several children died from abuse despite previous involvement by authorities.

The report by Casey Family Programs found that children had died from asphyxia, drowning, and physical abuse. The report found that investigators did not look at other family problems such as domestic violence or drug abuse that should have warned them that a child was in danger.

Jacobo said the agency was undertaking a series of steps in response to the report. But some state legislators called the rash of deaths "outrageous."

  1. Unfortunately, the state will use this as an excuse to steal more children, instead of exposing the corrupt officials who are lying and cheating to take our children away from us in exchange for massive federal funding. Florida is a mess. If you don't know legal child kidnapping from the top to the bottom is happening, then you are not paying attention. If you are not paying attention you are part of the problem. Demand better. For the kids! The state of Florida does not care about protecting children they care about collecting them. "There is a bounty on the head of each child in the state of Florida." ~ former guardian ad litem The politicians know it. The Governor knows it. Wake up people. Destroying families for money is pure evil.
