7 Minutes to Live: Crisis in the child protective service courts | KXAN.com:
AUSTIN (KXAN) — Too many cases of child abuse and too little time to make a life or death decision. KXAN News found Travis County judges have less than 10 minutes on cases involving abused and neglected children. Cases like 11 month old Orien Hamilton, who died recently in the foster care system. Her skull was allegedly crushed by an unmonitored visitor to her caretaker’s Cedar Park home.

Justice for Alex Hill, Removed from Parents for Marijuana and Murdered in Foster Care
Justice for Alex Hill, Removed from Parents for Marijuana and Murdered in Foster Care:
Beautiful baby Alexandria Hill was removed from her parent’s custody because they naively admitted to Child Protective Services that they sometimes used marijuana at night, after Alex was asleep, to help them rest as well. Child Protective Services in Texas apparently felt that minor marijuana use was neglectful supervision, so she was removed from the custody of her devoted, loving parents and placed in foster care.
