Three weeks before she was born, Sirita Sotelo was the subject of a Child Protective Services (CPS) referral, alleging prenatal substance abuse by her mother. After she tested positive for cocaine at birth on February 12, 2000, CPS filed for dependency and placed Sirita in foster care. Over the next three years, CPS made numerous attempts to reunite Sirita with her mother. Services were provided to address the mothers substance abuse and mental health issues. Four times Sirita was placed with her mother, only to again be removed due to allegations of abuse and neglect. During this period, Sirita experienced seven different placement episodes, alternating between foster care and placement with her mother. She spent over 25 months in foster care, in eight different foster homes, 2 and 19 months placed with her mother. While efforts were being made to reunite Sirita with her mother, her father, who was notified of the dependency action, did not involve himself in the dependency process or seek placement of Sirita. In May 2003, the CPS filed for termination of parental rights, based on the length of time Sirita had been in state care, the failed reunification attempts with the mother, and the fathers lack of participation in the dependency action or reunification efforts. However, after learning that the department was seeking to terminate parental rights, Siritas father stepped forward and requested that she be placed with him and his wife.

Voters voices must be shared! Do you support Barak’s latest Health Care plan?? Stop by my youtube profile to see precisely why your thoughts are needed !
Hey Clydesurfs, you must not have listened very close because I heard solutions being offered. What I DON’T hear from you is that those countries that have socialized medicine aren’t happy with it and private clinics are popping up where it is legal to do so. You say all we care about is keeping it private… OPEN YOUR EARS DUMB***~!! All YOU care about is turning America into a socialist country. Give me one example where the government actually helped by taking over private interest.
Excellent call to action! I don’t want the same government that mis-managed the Hurricane Katrina response to ration health care.
I listened, but I heard no solutions being offered. Platitudes and anecdotes are not going to save you, me, or the country from the worlds most expensive health care system that is ranked below over 35 other countries in outcomes. It is truly an outrage yet none of that matters to you. All you care about is keeping the system private. Private has failed miserably. Other countries have proved there is a better way and it’s time we followed suit.
God bless her young soul. STOP CHILD ABUSE
So sad. I speak italian and English rather fluently, parlo molto bene Italiano e englese.
u didnt translate it wrong. i hve no idea wat tht guys talkin about
This girl didn’t deserve all that happened to her. If it weren’t for her sadist mother, this angel would still be alive today.
May justice be served! What a precious little girl. There is something seriously wrong with her mother.
thanks ….sorry again for the mistake …
Now that is nice.
ah … now I understand …. I wanted to say … how can you kill an angel so beautiful? sorry … I would not have expressed the right …. I do not speak English …. it is the fault of my translator that the translation was wrong ….I hope that this time I said something good
Saying you “like this angel is dead” means you enjoy this angel’s death. It is sadist to enjoy people’s suffering.
i’m a sadist? but what are you saying? but you understood what I wrote? or I have spoken wrongly? I speak only Italian … I hope that my translation into English was good …. I do not want to have to put the wrong … if I expressed myself badly is the fault of my translator …
you are a sicko sadist!
