Maryland bill calls for investigations when children are threatened

February 23rd, 2018 by WCBC Radio

 The 2014 murders of two children by their mother still haunt Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Angela Alsobrooks, and she hopes that a proposal before state delegates will prevent such tragedies from ever happening again.

The bill, which has been presented before the Maryland House of Delegates Judiciary Committee, would allow for an investigation by the Department of Social Services when a child is threatened with harm by a parent, guardian or temporary caretaker.

“We want to make sure that we have every tool available to check in on children and make sure that they’re safe,” Alsobrooks said.

 

The state’s attorney has pushed the proposal four years in a row now.
