Lawyers for the girl's estate say there was a systematic failure that led to Malinda Hoagland's death.
Lawsuit filed in gruesome death of 12-year-old girl in Chester County, Pa., who weighed only 50 pounds at the time of her death in May, has filed a lawsuit.The suit claims Malinda Hoagland was failed at many levels of government, including the school district and county child services.
Bosworth said the agency only placed a call, and Malinda Hoagland's father and his girlfriend told officials the girl was fine. The Coatesville Area School District released a statement back in May that read in part: "The school had concerns about the child's welfare in the fall and diligently reported those concerns to Children and Youth Services and shortly thereafter the child was withdrawn and enrolled in a cyber charter school."
Bosworth said county officials knew Malinda was living with a convicted child abuser. In 2009, Warren was sentenced to 3-7 years in prison for endangering the welfare of her son.
