Is this the first time CPS involvement was reported in the media? Including if so:
Mother of slain 8-year-old says father was abusive for years

Suffolk police said they are in contact with the Department of Social Services.
“We are going to look at every interaction this child had with the system and investigate every avenue,” said Commissioner Hart.
The Suffolk County Department of Social Services told News 12 that it was involved with the Valva and Pollina family. It says petitions for child neglect were filed in Suffolk County Family Court in 2018.
There was court-ordered home supervision for a period of one year. Orders of protection were issued for the parents to refrain from harmful behaviors toward the children.
It also says CPS investigated additional complaints relating to the family. DSS says it is now reviewing the management of the case to ensure that all protocols were followed.
