Emani Moss never made it to adulthood much less her 11th birthday. in early November her father and step-mother starved her to death and tried to burn her body in a trash container. When the burning failed to cover up their crime Eman called the Gwinnett county police and led them to her body.
the department of Family and Children Services received six complaints of abuse or, neglect from the time she was born until the day she died. as late as 2010 she was removed from her step mother for beating her. later on she was returned to the family. two months before her death complaint came into DFCS that there were suspicions that Emani was being neglected. the child was very thin and something is wrong. the reported was anonymous and the case screened out.
in my career I worked with youth for many years. I was in charge of the Child abuse, and death review boards in the late 1990's. I worked with the department of youth services on juvenile crimes for many years and with many of the DFCS investigators.
where does blame lie? every governor has promised more workers and higher salaries. in the 37 years I worked in law enforcement those promises were made every election. money was thrown out, workers hired, and the director changed. that was it.
what I saw in the field was no movement to clean house where it needed to be done. the only governor that tried was Zell Miller and he a was shut down when he began firing political appointees. He did what he could.
time is way over due to clean all management out. every time I walked into a DFCS office they never changed programs to the degree needed. there were no new ideas. the directors heads were cut before they could get settled in and a kid was killed. middle management was free to go about their jobs with out punitive action.
Governor it is time to cut the head off of the snake and bring replace every policy maker there. send em packing.
District Attorney Porter do your normal great deed. Sent those two to their maker. I am sure his fire will burn them and the will feel it forever.
