Defendant had lost custody of children before law took effect

Starting at least eight years ago, child welfare officials had been involved with the Baltimore woman now charged with killing her infant son and burying him in Druid Hill Park, but they had “no idea” that she had recently given birth.
And despite a new state law designed to expand oversight in similar cases, Lakesha Haynie escaped supervision. The reason: Her four other children were removed from her care before the law took effect in October.
State Human Resources Secretary Brenda Donald said caseworkers were not actively involved with Haynie, charged with first-degree murder in the death of her son, Rajahnthon, whom authorities found Sunday buried at the park. She was ordered held without bail Tuesday morning at a hearing, as prosecutors said that medical and psychological evaluations were ordered, and that she was considered suicidal.
