<br/><br/> "Two-year-old Emily Smith was shot by her mother. Jerrad Neal, 3, was beaten to death. And 5-year-old Alecia Putrow was raped and drowned in a bathtub. The children are among 28 in the past five years who had prior cases with state Child Protective Services but died of abuse or neglect anyway." (ARIZONA REPUBLIC) This article reveals the problems facing Arizona's CPS agency and profiles the life and death of one little girl the agency failed to protect.
