Thumb down: Will downsizing Florida Department of Children and Families put ...
PROTECTING CHILDREN: Almost 500 employees of the Florida Department of Children and Families have begun receiving layoff notices.

The case of Nubia Barahona continues to cast a long, troubling shadow over the Department of Children and Families. She's the 10-year-old girl whose decomposed body was found in February in the back of her adoptive father's pickup truck in West Palm Beach. Nubia's twin brother, Victor Barahona, had been found hours earlier. He was coated with toxic chemicals. Jorge and Carmen Barahona of Miami-Dade County are charged with Nubia's murder.
A three-member panel subsequently issued a scathing report that detailed the agency's fatal ineptitude in heeding the warning signs in Nubia's case.
