Non-custodial mom sues state for wrongful death; custodial dad indicted for death of 5-year-old daughter (Lake Charles, Louisiana)

I salute mom Amber Vincent for taking on the state of Louisiana in this case. The evidence of incompetence and corruption in this child custody case is simply overwhelming. It took two years to even INDICT custodial dad WILLIAM STEWART for the murder of this child. That's how thick things are down there in Louisiana.

Here's additional background on this case:

It was June 2008 when five year old Savannah Vincent died of head injuries in a Lafayette Hospital. Last year her father and step mother were indicted for second degree murder.

Now Savannah's mother, Amber Vincent, is suing the state saying the Department of Social Services dropped the ball when it came to providing responding to validated complaints of child abuse. Amber Vincent says her purpose is to make sure, in the future, victims of child abuse get the protection needed to save their lives.

We are awaiting a response from the State Attorney General's Office and/or the Department of Social Services.
