Philly social workers on trial after girl's death

MultiEthnic Behavioral Health Inc. is a company where social workers are paid $1 million per year to oversea a few of the highest-risk families but they are now on trial for fraud and conspiracy after a girl that was under their care died under horrible conditions, weighing a mere 42 pounds and confined to her severely maggot-infested bed. This poor girl, Danieal had cerebral palsy and was living fine with her father until she moved in with her mother and 6 siblings in a 2 bedroom apartment. Social workers were assigned to her case but nobody did their part. A few weeks before her death, some caseworkers came by but did not blow the whistle on the wretched conditions. MultiEthnic Behavioral Health Inc. forged a few documents saying that they completed their bi-weekly visits to the girl's house, and so forth. The mother of Danieal was found guilty of 3rd degree murder and will be serving 20-40 years in prison, while her father is currently on trial for neglect, along with several social workers from the company for fraud and conspiracy. This is a horrid tragedy.....poor girl.
