Two Detroit social workers are being prosecuted for manslaughter and willful neglect of duty by a public officer in the death of a 3-year old child.
Elaine Brown, 24, and Kelly M. Williams, 47, are both being prosecuted by Wayne County in the death of Aaron Minor. The prosecutor alleges that they were "grossly negligent and reckless" in their handling of his case for failing to do adequate follow-up.
The cops were called to the scene on May 25 when a maintenance man smelled a really foul odor. The child's mostly decomposed body was found in an apartment. The boy's mother was found a day later at a local psych hospital. Nine days previously the mother had been found unresponsive on the lawn at the apartment and was hospitalized for at least two days at that time.
The mother, Deanna S. Minor, 28, has been charged with felony murder, second-degree murder, first and second degree child abuse and failure to report a dead body.
