NJ Human Services Commissioner moves to suspend second worker involved in Williams case
 

 

TRENTON -- As a result of the ongoing investigation of the Division of Youth and Family Services’ handling of the Melinda Williams case in Newark, Department of Human Services Commissioner Gwendolyn L. Harris took action today to suspend the case worker who mishandled this case, which included not reporting allegations of abuse.

Yesterday the Commissioner moved to suspend the DYFS supervisor who ultimately approved the closing of the case, despite a notation in the case closing summary which indicated that the children had not been seen by DYFS in about a year.
