I have an update to my August 10, 2013 post (the death of foster child, Alexandria Hill) in which a foster mother was accused of killing a toddler in her care by way of a forceful impact to the floor.
The news video & written report Deficiencies Found In Local Foster Home Where Infant Died addresses the Texas Mentor (the "child placing agency" that Sherill Small had gone through), which "has racked up 59 violations in the past two years." (These include 8 in the Small foster home.) Some of the listed issues include issues with background checks & inappropriate discipline.
