Nightmare begins with child’s cry sparks child removal
A Clearwater mother recalls hearing her 18 month old Daniel crying and says a swift response led to the state seizing all her children. Keena died in foster care a day after her first birthday while the 25 year old, Cindy White, faced long battles with the Aiken County DSS over the loss and subsequent custody of her children. She questions DSS explanations and reveals offers to return some children in exchange for others entering foster care. She rejects any admission of abuse and disputes the agency’s handling.
