In this case a foster child was murdered slowly starved to death and the school, the neighborhood parents, and her biological parents where all calling and asking DHS to do a safety check.

Why are the state employees who refused to check on her not being charged with any crime? Also their names have not been released.

She was literally never checked on once she was put into foster care.

I don’t see anything in that article or any of the linked articles about ignoring calls for safety checks or refusing to do anything?

It seems no longer doing periodic checks when a child is with a legal guardian is the policy for social workers in Hawaii.

Unfortunately there is a massive shortage of social workers and too many children to check up on. If you started charging social workers for what happens to kids you would get even less people willing to do that work.
