The same social worker returned on January 3 and when no-oneanswered the door, she left a note asking Harris to call. The samething happened on February 27. It was not until a fourth visit, on March 14, that the socialworker got into the home. Harris said her daughter was not therebut the investigator heard whimpering. After Harris carried her skeletal daughter out, the investigatorimmediately called 911. 'An investigation this badly neglected is a failure of supervisionand management,' Kendall Marlowe, a DCFS spokesman told theMailOnline on Monday morning. ‘We are taking appropriate actions to right that ship andensure this organization places the proper priority on childsafety,' he added. The Chicago Tribune also revealed that the investigator failed tolook up the family's history with the protection agency, asis required. In 1996 the DCFS took one-year-old Darlene and her siblings intoprotective custody after an emergency call was made that the girlwas not being fed properly. Three years later the children were returned into theirmother's care. Harris admitted to removing Darlene from special education classesin 2000 because she wanted her daughter to stay at home, theTribune reported. Harris, an unemployed single mother of five, was unable to say whenher daughter last went outside or saw a doctor. Harris told the Chicago Tribune earlier this year that she‘was a good mother' and said her daughter was‘well cared for.' Delichia Armstrong, Harris's 23-year-old daughter, told thepaper her mother ‘does the best she can.' Darlene and her younger sister, 15, have been taken into protectivecustody. Darlene is recovering at La Rabida Children's hospital, whereshe is reportedly putting on weight and improving. The DCFS investigator and her supervisors may face disciplinaryactions, no formal charges have been made against them.
