Update: The Georgia Department of Human Services Division of Family & Children Services has provided a statement, revealing that the DHS had a previous history with Nicole Amari Hall.
The Georgia Department of Human Services (DHS) Division of Family & Children Services is aware of the tragic death of Nicole Amari Hall and is working closely with law enforcement to assist them in their investigation. DHS has previous history regarding this child, including unsubstantiated investigations in 2015 and 2017, and a report received in 2021 that contained no allegations of abuse or neglect. Concerning any of the mother’s other children, the Department is working closely with law enforcement to ensure their safety and well-being.
I was actually thinking the opposite. Day 1 (ish), I thought mom left her in the hotel room to go out/bar etc and came home between 12-1 and noticed she was missing and looked but for fear of getting in trouble, mom didn't report until 9am. This was before finding out about the other children/adult etc. None the less, so freaking sad!I am so shocked. Hinky circumstances aside, I had hoped I was going to come home this evening and read that Amari was finally found SAFE.
I'll never understand these kind of people. How do you punch and kick an innocent little child? It's infuriating, it's sickening, and it's evil. MOO

So where did this video come from of this abuse from the mother? Did the partner of the mother video this and have it on her phone? I think these two loving creatures are throwing each other under the bus, disgusting both of them. IMO.

Gwinnett County Police said Nicole Amari Hall was found dead Tuesday around 10:45 a.m. Her mother, Brittany Hall, has been charged with concealing her death while her partner, Celeste Owens, is charged with felony murder.
Warrants for Owens allege that Amari was hit in the head several times on Friday, Nov. 19 and that Owens did "conceal the death of Amari Hall by placing her in trash bags and dumping her body."

The warrant claimed that back in July, Owens "walked over to one child and open hand slapped the victim in the front of her face causing her head to whip back quickly." She's also accused of "walking over to a boy ... tightening a cloth around the victim's eyes then slapping the victim and kicking him on the ground."
In August the warrants describe Owens as "stomping on another child's back with her foot and then kicking (her) in the back moving her across the room."
Warrants also describe incidents where Hall allegedly kicked and punched her children and in one instance "the victim was laying on the floor and the defendant and mother of the victim stood over her and used a belt or cord and whipped the victim on her legs." Another warrant claims Hall "walked over to the victim and slapped the victim 11 times on the back, the incident was video recorded."

Amari Hall death | Gwinnett mom had history with DFCS for abuse | 11alive.com
In 2019, 11Alive investigators found that in less than six years, 800-plus DFCS employees assigned to keep children safe were disciplined for negligence, lying or falsifying records, and other violations.
The Reveal investigators uncovered records showing more than 40 percent of caseworkers who had disciplinary issues in the last four years at the DFCS, were either negligent or inefficient in performing their assigned duties.
I second your vow, without a doubt! I'm so tired of this. One precious little child after another. It has to STOP.How much more abuse does it take for children to be removed from the home of the abuser(s)? And how many times do we ask these same questions?
This will never end, I know that, but I can hope.
And I vow to report abuse if I ever see it.
