CPS saw starving boys, took no action
RICHMOND — Child Protective Services twice visited the home of two young brothers who were later found to be in an emaciated state but took no action to remove them, state agency officials acknowledged Friday...

The revelation about the previous CPS visits came during testimony in the trial of Barbara Dean Baldwin, 50, the great-aunt of the boys, and her husband, Tommie Lee Baldwin, 46...

A jury on Wednesday sentenced Barbara and Tommy Baldwin to prison sentences of 40 and 20 years for abusing two young boys throughout almost four years...

The jury found them both guilty on Tuesday after hearing emotional testimony from two boys, now 13 and 14, who for years were deprived of food and locked for hours at a time in a hot, stuffy garage without a bathroom... the boys had not grown in height and actually lost weight during the almost four years the Baldwins took them on as foster children...

The children now live with their mother, having been separated from her in 1998 because of her prison sentence. She had taken courses with CPS before acquiring the children again in 2005.
