Bowens completed a parenting class while Vence's mother cared for the children; all three children were returned to their mother in February. A caseworker wrote in records before they were given back that the doctor "could not confirm whether or not injuries were caused by abuse."
CPS oversight appears to have been spotty after the children went home, however. The agency is allowed up to six months of supervision after a child is returned, with a caseworker expected to visit weekly for the first eight weeks and then at least monthly, spokesperson Tiffani Butler wrote.
In court last week, Bowens recalled that CPS visited maybe two or three times after the children came back to live with her.
On April 8 — roughly eight weeks after the kids returned — the caseworker wrote that the agency sought to be dismissed from the case.
Little Maleah's case captures city's attention as search draws to an end
Guess the parenting class didn't make an impact on BB, I swear if she tries to sue the State of Texas I'm gonna pop a cork! She's the type to use this situation as a cash cow. That why I'm really hoping she is charged with something. It would be so very wrong for her gain a penny from Maleah's death.
