Boy, who was drowned to death, endured prior abuse
On June - 20 - 2010
ANDREW, IOWA – The grandmother of a Jackson County four -year- old who drowned in a bathtub says several calls were placed to the state child abuse hotline over the past year, but were ignored.
”The Department of Human Services was called many times”, said Diane Haylock on Friday from her home in Maquoketa. ”It shouldn’t have happened. DHS was involved many times, why didn’t someone get him out of there?”
Collin Holdgrafer died Saturday at the apartment of his adoptive parents in Andrew, Iowa. Now, they’re charged in connection with his death. Danielle Holdgrafer is charged with first degree murder, accused of intentionally holding the four year old’s head underwater in the bathtub.
