A review of the investigation records for two abuse reports in 2010 and 2011 show:
• A June 2010 report that Nubia was “uncontrollably’’ hungry, very thin and losing her hair should have been labeled by the agency’s Tallahassee-based hotline as an allegation of abuse — not as a report that the Barahaonas needed help from the state. Coding the complaint an abuse report could have placed the family under “closer scrutiny’’ when the investigation began.
Police said Monday that the children had been beaten and tortured for a year prior to Nubia’s death, which would have included the time of the June report. The June investigation was closed with a finding of no need for services or intervention by the state.
Is this the "special conditions" coding mentioned in the previous article?
And why wouldn't this be classified as neglect at the very least?
