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.

"I am writing to you to document that if something is to happen to those children, and I have tried multiple times to help them, that CPS and DCYF are at fault and will not only be in huge legal trouble, but the public relations fallout of not PROTECTING those children will be massive," she wrote on Nov. 18, 2021.

[...]

"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 GoFundMe) 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.

She makes me sick!

AC got 12 months with credit for time served. He'll be free in August. She will likely get more (up to 20 months) since she has several priors. And then what? Give those poor kids back to them again? I won't be surprised. Also, the SW that was kids' caseworker before is their caseworker now. (If that gives us a clue as to how it's going to go)

Alford Pleas
So what's happening in regards to Oakley? Is LE going to file charges related to her disappearance or not?

 

[Laughing]

20 months???

Awaiting further charges, probably not as anxiously as the H family. Prayers for them and the remaining kids!

AFAIK, there has been no new information shared regarding Oakley's disappearance. I do think there will be more charges coming somewhere down the line; JMO of course.

Thanks Pommy. I'm glad the other children have been removed and are hopefully living a far better life. But it struck me wrong, that no action has been taken on Oakley's behalf. I understand the court system, the DA's need for a solid case to gain a conviction, I get it. But IMO, when a child goes missing, and a parent has not reported said child is missing. It should automatically prompt a convictable offense of some sort. Most of the civilized world knows where their child is at all times, we don't lose them. I'm so frustrated with social services and the court system - children are needlessly dying. Why is this happening?

 

[katydid23]

Can't they be charged with something because of their missing child? Can they just shrug and say 'I don't know what happened?'

Anything preventing them from having more babies in a year or 2 when they are released from mandatory summer camp?

I've noticed cases where a judge ordered birth control, but that order probably could not extend past parole/probation?

And -- oh yes, our blind child needed medication, but we just blew that off NBD, right? Someone elses' fault, of course.

Horrible, horrible, horrible.

WTH? They are just Hellbent on destroying children. They should never ever be anywhere near any children,or animals,or even a pet rock. The caseworker ought to be in a cell right with them. I hope the judge in charge of their little lives has a backbone,and severs all ties. MOO

Hopefully, the time that they are incarcerated can be time spent figuring out what happened to their daughter so that additional charges with longer sentences can be imposed.

Every now and then I come across a case in the Charley Project that is troubling. But this time. A 4 year old child? Who does stuff like this?

LWOP would be nice.

Court-ordered contraception would probably be found unconstitutional. It’s dangerously close to eugenics/forced sterilization as well. (Related rhetorical question: can a defendant be forced to abort a pregnancy when contraception fails?)

It sure is. Dangerously close, that is.

I don't often think "Dear God..." when reading Charley Project case descriptions, but this one made me do so.

"The child's younger brother remembered Jordan beating Oakley with a belt and confining her to a closet, and said he had been worried that his sister would starve. He mentioned the fire and said when it happened, everyone got out of the house okay except Oakley."

This was actually Oakley's older half-brother who said this. He is old enough to know what he is talking about IMHO. Her younger brother is only 2.

In the Fifth Gathering to Support Oakley Carlson, Area Residents Want Answers | The Daily Chronicle (chronline.com)
[...]

Count 5-year old AW among the Grays Harbor residents who are angry about the fact Oakley hasn't been found and that she went missing in the first place.

AW showed the bellowing crowd who showed up on Saturday, April 9, how much she cares about finding Oakley. Through a bullhorn, she chanted her heart out with a simple message of "Where is Oakley?"

Her mother, JW, beamed with pride about her daughter's will to be heard.

"I'm raising a little warrior," JW said.

The loud and persistent community members, who braved cold winds, rain, and sharp pelts of hail, united in pursuit of answers in their fifth such gathering outside the Grays Harbor County Courthouse Jail.
