MIAMI, March 15 (UPI) -- The state of Florida has fired two welfare workers connected to the case of a 10-year-old girl who was found dead in her adoptive father's pickup truck.
The Florida Department of Children & Families said Andrea Fleary has been terminated from her position as a child abuse investigator and her supervisor, Kevin Ramos, has also been fired, The Miami Herald reported.
A third person connected to the investigation, Angela Dilworth, has resigned, DCF spokesman Mark Riordan said.
Five other department employees have received reprimands including the agency's top Miami administrator and four workers for Florida's abuse hotline.
The hotline received three calls saying 10-year-old Nubia Barahona and her twin brother were in danger four days before Nubia was found dead and her brother Victor had been doused with chemicals.
Nubia's adoptive parents, Jorge and Carmen Barahona, have been charged with first-degree murder, aggravated child abuse and neglect.
