It was reported in the Oregonian that Jeanette Maples Step-Grandmother, parents of friends and school faculty all contacted the Department of Human Services, and yet none of those reports were acted upon. One parent was turned away because "second hand accounts were not sufficiently serious to send social workers out."

Are second hand accounts serious enough now?! Multiple reports were made and STILL the DHS went out of its way not to do its job! How many more children have to die before someone finally realizes that the people at the DHS are NOT doing their jobs and should be replaced by people that can?
