A 3 year old boy was killed on Easter Sunday in Ft.Worth from alleged child abuse.
Amari Boone,3 died at Cook Children’s Hospital from blunt force trauma.
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services spokeswoman Marissa Gonzales stated that the state had legal custody of Amari and his brother and they were both living with friends of their family when the tragedy struck.
Gonzales said “Before the children were allowed to live in that home, background checks and visits to the home were conducted before the judge overseeing the children’s CPS case approved the placement”.
Amari’s younger brother has since been removed from the home and placed in a foster home.
Fort Worth Police Crimes Against Children Unit has joined in the investigation and no suspects have been arrested at this time.
Officials with the hospital mentioned that they noticed the spike in cases since the stay-at-home orders were put into place during the coronavirus pandemic.
