Oakley Carlson's foster mom says she raised red flags about biological parents years before girl went missing | Fox News
The former foster parents of missing Washington 6-year-old Oakley Carlson said they reached out to state authorities a half-dozen times to raise concerns about the girl’s biological parents before police discovered she’d vanished late last year.

Hiles provided a series of purported emails in which she and her husband, Erik Hiles, raised concerns over Oakley’s circumstances with state child welfare officials – who she accused of ignoring her warnings before Oakley was returned to her parents’ custody.

"The upstairs caught fire and the parents ‘couldn’t find their phones’ to call 911, so instead, they fought the fires themselves (for hours per the ) and then didn’t report the fire for two weeks," she wrote in an email to two DCYF employees on Nov. 18, 2021. "While I am not an investigator, I find this odd and very dangerous."

Hiles also said she had reached out to Gov. Jay Inslee’s office to request an outside investigation into the DCYF’s handling of Oakley’s custody case, however the governor’s general counsel had no record of such a request.
"They need to investigate, because something obviously is very wrong with an agency that doesn’t listen to warnings about children and child abuse," Hiles said. "That is terrifying to me."
She said she also made two calls to child protective services after Oakley was out of her care but received no response.
