Baby Dies Tragic Death
A baby girl is dead after the Florida Department of Children and Families failed to remove her from her drug addicted, violent parents, who had already been the subject of more than 10 reports to the state’s abuse hotline. Little Emma Morrison was just 49 days old when her mother, Lisa Lamoureaux, 33, found her lifeless in her crib at around 9:30 a.m. on January 17 after putting her to sleep nine hours earlier and failing to check on her. The murky circumstances surrounding her death are still being investigated by Palm Beach County sheriff’s Office and the medical examiner. Lamoureaux had a long history of drug abuse, she had been arrested nine times and her four older children had been permanently taken from her by the state, according to the Miami Herald.
