Critics have demanded accountability from children and family services after it was learned that Aniya's mother was subject to multiple CFS investigations.
Cuyahoga County has convened an independent panel to review how the Department of Children and Family Services handled the case of 4-year-old Aniya Day-Garrett.
Most recently, the daycare Aniya attended, Harbor Crest Childcare Academy in Euclid, was cited for not reporting signs of her abuse to the proper authorities, according to the Ohio Department of Jobs and Family.
