State Reviewing Child Death Case
February 21st, 2011 by flanewsTwo former foster kids, twins, are at the center of a fact finding mission because their cries for help were never answered. 10 year old Nubia Doctor was found dead, wrapped in plastic on Valentine’s Day. Her brother Victor is in the hospital recovering from chemical burns. Four calls were made to the state’s abuse hotline on their behalf. Governor Rick Scott called the situation a tragedy.
“It’s an absolute tragedy and our secretary Wilkins is doing an investigation. He is working with law enforcement to understand exactly what happened and also understand what procedures ought to be changed to make sure this doesn’t happen again. But it’s an absolute tragedy,” said Scott.
It happened in Miami. The man who adopted the twins has been charged with abuse and attempted murder for the burns on Victor. No charges have been brought in Nubia’s case.
