DYFS faulted in death of NJ toddler

TRENTON, N.J. - February 8, 2012

Children and Families Commissioner Allison Blake on Tuesday released a review over how the agency handled the case of Tierra Morgan-Glover. Child welfare officials investigated the turbulent relationship between the child's father and mother four times in 13 months before she was found dead in a creek in Wall Township in November.

Blake says caseworkers never consulted with the agency's domestic violence liaison. They and supervisors also failed to follow up on recommendations made by the special response unit which first investigated child abuse claims.

The girl's father is charged with murder.
