Dozens of 911 calls recorded at home where 2-year-old died
As officials investigate the death of a 2-year-old child who died in a foster care home over the weekend, haunting details have emerged about the home’s history with 911 calls.
Since 2008, emergency personnel and police have responded to 28 separate 911 calls at the home, The Boston Globe reported. The calls included reports of assaults, threats, breaking and entering, a domestic disturbance and medical emergencies.
An additional 35 calls came from two homes in Auburn where the foster mother previously lived between 2004 and 2008, according to the Globe.
Marylou Sudders, the state secretary of health and human services, told the Globe that most of the calls occurred before the woman became a foster parent in March 2014. Sudders said officials will consider whether 911 calls to a home should be included in the background check conducted on foster parents.
The 22-month-old foster child taken from the home remains in critical condition, officials said.
