A little girl, Nixzmary Brown, was murdered by her stepfather earlier this week in NYC. It is so tragic because her teachers called ACS, but someone dropped the ball. Now a seven year old is dead after being tortured, starved, sexually abused, and beaten. There ought to be a special place in hell for someone who does this to a child.
Now there is all the finger pointing and demands to fix the system. This is what happened after Lisa Steinberg was murdered as well as a few other little girls.
ACS is the Administration for Children's Services.
Here are links to a few articles about this sad case.http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&q=...ch&sa=N&tab=wn

The line was aroud the block tonite at her wake on 1st Ave btwn 2nd & 3rd Streets. I happened to be in the neighborhood & stopped briefly as I walked by to stay a little prayer. What a sad sad story.
As a teacher in the city myself, my co-workers and I have all had experiences with ACS. We do our job as first reporters if we see child abuse & it's just frustrating to hear how badly this case was handled. I'm sure her teacher is feeling guilty about the way this turned out & s/he is in my thoughts as well.
