It is a first for New York: two former child welfare workers arrested for their role in the death of Brooklyn girl last year.
The little girl, four-year-old Marcella Pierce, was starved down to a mere 18 pounds and beaten by her mother, Carlotta Brett-Pierce, while her grandmother (according to prosecutors) looked on.
And so too did the two workers from New York City's Administration for Children's Services, according to DA Charles Hynes. The workers are Damon Adams, who allegedly failed to make nearly all of the mandated biweekly visits to the girl's home and falsified ACS records to show he did; and Chereece Bell, his supervisor, who apparently failed to monitor his work.
More details on this case can be found in this article on the Gothamist.com.
God bless you, Marcella Pierce, and may he protect other children from their so-called protectors.
