Grandmother of 10-year-old found stuffed in trash can suing DFCS
A different article I read said that the trial has been delayed. The state Supreme Court is reviewing the judge’s decision to allow Tiffany Moss to represent herself.
Emani's grandmother Robin Moss has filed suit against the state Department of Family and Children's Services. The lawsuit says that caseworkers were aware of deteriorating conditions in the home, and could have stepped in sooner, possibly saving Emani's life.
According to the lawsuit, four months prior to Emani's death, in August 2013, the Department of Family and Children's Services received an anonymous call that said Emani was being neglected by her father and stepmother and "that she appeared to be thin."
The lawsuit said that DFCS did not follow up on the call, and "screened the call out 'due to having no current address and no current maltreatment.'"
In order to avoid the death penalty, Eman Moss accepted a plea deal, pleading guilty to two counts of felony murder, two counts of first-degree child cruelty and one felony count of concealing a death. Investigators said at the time that while he helped to dispose of his daughter's body, he was likely not the main culprit in Emani's death.
Meanwhile, Emani's stepmother Tiffany Moss is expected to go to trial later this month in Gwinnett County Superior Court and faces the death penalty. She insists on representing herself in the case.
