Manchester chief: DCYF failed to protect child | New Hampshire:

MANCHESTER — New Hampshire social workers failed to protect Sadie Willott, the 21-month-old child whose mother faces homicide charges in connection with her death over the Labor Day weekend, the city’s police chief said Wednesday.
“In the Willott homicide, DCYF failed to protect Sadie,” Police Chief Nick Willard said during an interview with a New Hampshire Union Leader reporter. He also said DCYF did not initially cooperate in the investigation, unlike in previous investigations into similar child abuse cases.
My comment:
"In the past, DCYF Administrator Lorraine Bartlett has said that family reunification is the first and foremost goal of her agency." Is that a fairly new concept?
“We want to be able to continue to provide the support and services to that family, so whenever possible children can be returned to their parents,” she told the Union Leader last December. Is this also a new concept? Maybe Lorraine Bartlett is much better qualified as DCYF Administrator than her predecessor Maggie Bishop. While Bishop was at the helm, at risk families never received any services or support from DCYF. The norm was to take the child and run. Evidence of innocence wasn't allowed. A false report was all it took to steal a child. Even a "Proven" false report. Does DCYF even look for relatives for placement of the stolen children, or is it still the same? "Relative placement is not an option. The child is going into Foster care, period."
Why in the world was Brielle and her siblings returned to their Mother, while felony child abuse charges were pending? While Bishop was at the helm, parent's whose criminal charges were dropped,(only because evidence of innocence was allowed in Criminal Court), still never got their children back. And the charges were for child endangerment, not mental or physical abuse. And what about the Mother's in NH who have lost children to the State, for prescribed medication while pregnant? Or almost lost the child because DCYF protocol is for Hospital's to report Mother's whose children show symptom's of withdrawl from prescribed medication given to the Mother?What about Medication, given in labor, that spill's into the unborn child? These children are stolen and never returned.
How about the Police taking over like they did in times past? They know REAL abuse when they see it. These children would probably be alive today. If DCYF wasn't so busy railroading innocent parent's AND their families, with frivolous nonsense accusation's, they may have had the time to save these children. This is REAL abuse! REAL abuse that took the lives of these two beautiful children!
