I am surprised it took this long to figure out. The sketch guy did a great job with the likeness to her. Tragic and blame goes right to the Deval Patrick administration. He could not be reached for comment.
I’m not sure how exactly this is the fault of the Deval Patrick administration. He is not now nor was he governor when this murder happened. Has the current Mass Gov Charlie Baker (R) been reached for comment? Not defending Patrick but that doesn’t make sense unless you have some proof perhaps of the Patrick administration having something to do with the DCF’s mishandling of the case when they supposedly investigated neglect complaints in 2012 and 2013. Then again in most states the DCF is a mess.
The state Department of Children and Families said it provided services for Bella in 2012 and 2013 when she was an infant following neglect complaints. It did not provide specific details.
Between 2001 and 2006, child welfare authorities terminated Bond’s parental rights over two other children, an agency official said. One is in custody of the maternal grandmother; the other was adopted by an unrelated family, the official said.
