Eugene (KMTR) - A court hearing for a Eugene couple charged with aggravated murder in the death of their teen daughter.

Prosecutors believe 15-year-old Jeanette Maples died from abuse and neglect.

Tuesday’s hearing is to see if two other children should be removed from the custody of the parents, Angela and Richard McAnulty.

The State Department of Human Services says the McAnultys are in the child welfare system of at least one other state. The out-of-state reports include drug abuse, physical abuse and neglect.

Here in Oregon, DHS received four reports prior the teen’s death.  A department spokesman called the family “high risk”.

DHS will make its case for removing the custody of the other two children in the home.

The term "high risk" is interesting because that is the CPS code for "a case that has attracted media attention". CPS is utterly evil and criminally malfeasant, and ALWAYS WRONG. Real Child abuse is a CRIME and should be investigated by "sworn to uphold, support and defend the Constitution" POLICE, not a fascistic and incompetent bureaucracy.

Those "parents" are charged with murdering their child...and there's still some question as to whether the other kids should be removed from their custody????? Seriously????

The question that has been going through my mind here is about the view point of some in DHS that age was a factor in not helping this girl or others like her. Are you telling me that because she was an older child there are some worker who think she should get herself out of the abuse> What we don't have enough teen prostitutes and drug addicts living on the streets? They want more.
