In a tragic incident, child services visited a Bronx apartment but left without intervening despite the presence of a 4-year-old girl living alone with the bodies of her mother and brother. The mother, Lisa Cotton, and her 8-year-old son, Nazir, had been dead for weeks before relatives found them. Neighbors expressed frustration over the lack of action from the Administration for Children's Services, despite prior concerns reported. Cotton had a history of erratic behavior and child neglect allegations. The toddler survived in distressing conditions until discovered by family.
"They didn't do s-t. They were here ringing people's bells the day before the wellness check. They were here, but they didn't do s-t."
"Concerned relatives finally checked on the family and found the 4-year-old, Promise, alone, starving, and in horrid condition on her mother's bed - as bugs crawled over her dead family."
