Is Social Services culpable in this child's death?

Adams County is located just east and north of Denver. A judge there has sentenced this man to 42 years in prison, and the judge has also sentenced the baby's mother to 16 years in prison. But, what about Social Services?

An Adams County Judge says the county's Human Services are to blame for the death of 22-month-old Michael Harris, who died February of 2011 from injuries inflicted by his mother's boyfriend.

Judge Chris Melonakis said, "[Adams County Human Services] are directly responsible for the death of the child. Frankly somebody should be taking them in front of the grand jury."
