I am so tired of dealing with this shit!!! A contractual foster care agency that DCFS is supposed to monitor knew the mother was dating a recently paroled convicted murderer but insisted Angel and her two siblings were safe, records show. The judge overseeing the custody case barred the boyfriend from having contact with the children, but she allowed the mothers overnight visits to continue. Topps said that by the time she found out about the boyfriend, it was too late. I just felt like something was being hidden from me, she said. If I had known, I would have asked them to revoke my daughters visitation, but (the foster care agency) told me I had nothing to worry about, that everything was OK. The mother, Angel Green Hill, 34, and boyfriend Anthony Prater, 39, face murder charges. Prater was paroled in May 2009 after serving part of a 35-year sentence for stabbing a rival gang member at Harper High School in West Englewood in 1989. Robert Harris sued Lakeside Community Committee, alleging negligence. The inspector general agreed. Both allege the caseworker at Lakeside failed to act after learning that Angel had suffered an earlier injury in the mothers South Chicago neighborhood home. The worker ignored the judges order to ensure the boyfriend didnt live there and trusted the mother despite her troubled past, the lawsuit states. Officials at Lakeside declined to comment. Harris alleges the caseworker didnt mention the new boyfriend to court officials, who stumbled upon his existence while reading the mothers latest therapy report during a hearing to determine if she should get her children back. Asked if she did the required background check, the caseworker said there was something about murder from long ago, records say. articles.chicagotribune/2012-09-22/news/ct-met-dcfs-child-deaths-20120922_1_dcfs-officials-child-death-cases-dcfs-director-richard-calica/3
