Additionally, DFPS said that the El Campo home where Daniel resided with his two siblings, a three-year-old girl and a nine-month-old boy, was filthy. His brother and sister were removed from the home after Daniel was discovered. CHILDCARE ISSUES KTRK revealed that parents Rebecca and Eddie had previously been given family-based safety services. However, the two people who should have protected him failed to do so, investigators claim. Caroline Roberts with child advocacy group Children at Risk acknowledged the strains on Child Protective Services but said officials should have acted on Daniel's situation before it was too late. ...They are understaffed and underfunded and need more support,... Roberts told KTRK. ...With that said, with that high priority, you would want more attention and support provided to these children....
