From the very start this baby was at risk. CPS sure let her down from the get go. JMO
Quezada gave birth to the girl in prison while serving time for a home burglary near Dallas. Leiliana was raised by her paternal grandparents until she was 2, when she reunited with her mother after her release from prison.
Leiliana, her newborn brother and Quezada moved in with boyfriend Eduardo Soto, whose record includes a child fondling charge that he pleaded down to child injury and two convictions for tattooing children.
The agency began investigating the family in October 2014, when it received a complaint that Quezada had used drugs while pregnant with Leiliana's brother, according to the state report.
That investigation stretched into the following month, when police found methamphetamine in Quezada's car and Soto was arrested for fraud. State officials say Leiliana was in the car when her mother was pulled over.
The Office of Child Safety noted thatCPS bungled the case from the start.

CPS workers were called to check on Leiliana and her brother in January after the Tarrant County Sheriff's Department had warned child abuse investigators the children had recently lived with a man suspected of sexually assaulting another child.
A caseworker was assigned to check on the kids within 72 hours, but it took 36 days before another CPS worker did so, records show.
In February, a CPS investigator found the children at Quezada's Grand Prairie home. Quezada, a convicted felon, had a history of child abuse and drug use.
But nothing was done, despite Quezada's previous run-ins with child-protection workers in Texas and Illinois.
