TaJanay Bailey, 3, died from a fatal beating Nov. 27, a week after an advocate filed a motion asking a judge to order the child’s removal from the care of her mother and the woman’s boyfriend. DCS officials cited communication problems, errors in judgment and a lack of urgency in the case.

Twelve-week-old Destiny Linden died April 29, five days after being found unconscious in a foster home. An advocate had raised concerns about the home’s safety for a month before Destiny was placed there. The cause of her death remains under investigation, but the coroner’s office said preliminary indications point to Destiny being placed in an unsafe sleeping position.
