DCF closed the case on a Worcester family. A year later, a 4-year-old was dead.

The Department of Children and Families erroneously thought 4-year-old A'zella Ortiz had moved to New York before she was allegedly killed by her father in Worcester last year, a new report says, which argues DCF failed to support her and her siblings for years.
