Workers in case of starved baby in Philly are fired

Workers in case of starved baby in Philly are fired - Philly.com: "The caseworker who said she visited 2-month-old Quasir Alexander in a city shelter and pronounced him 'healthy and well' two days before he died of starvation has been fired by the contractor the city hired to help the family.

A supervisor who oversaw the case also was fired.

'Lutheran Children and Family Service has completed the initial phase of an internal review, and based on the facts developed in that review, we have terminated the supervisor and caseworker handling the Williams case,' the agency said in a statement to The Inquirer Tuesday night. It said it was 'fully cooperating with all relevant authorities so that the facts can be fully and properly vetted.'"
