A statement from the Oklahoma Department of Human Services has been issued in response to a recent report by the Oklahoma Commission on Children and Youth Office of Juvenile System Oversight on the death of 10-day-old Maggie Trammel.

Trammel was found dead in a washing machine on Nov. 4. Her mother, 26-year-old Lyndsey Dawn Fiddler, is currently being held on $100,000 bond on charges of child neglect.

The OCCY report, which was released on Tuesday, indicated there had been several reports regarding the care of Trammel and two other children, ages 5 and 8, in the home and that the reports dated as far back as March 2009.

The DHS release sheds some light on possible reasons for inaction in the case. FULL STORY

This story is absolutely dumb-founding to us.  CPS kidnaps kids on the slightest whim or suspicion and they let this case go after SIX reports.
