GUILTY TX - Rayven Shields, 3, Bryan, Jul 2018 *Arrests*

This is horrible!!

NEW: Virginia Adams granted custody of Rayven Shields months before three-year-old's disappearance

Rayven Shields was taken from her father’s family and given to her mother, Virginia Adams, just months before the three year old went missing, according to family members on her father’s side.

The Bryan Police Department confirmed to KAGS that they helped facilitate Rayven’s return to Adams in June 2018, after her biological father, Robert Shields, passed away.

Family members on Rayven’s father’s side told KAGS they were also the ones who filed complaints with Child Protective Services (CPS), claiming Adams was an unfit mother and that Adam’s house was filled with drugs.

A July CPS visit to Adam’s house is what prompted the investigation into Rayven’s disappearance.

according to news stories, she supposedly was last seen 7/27 but then they were saying it was much earlier, probably June. so she was killed RIGHT AFTER going to live w her so called mother :(
 
Repeating this from your link for emphasis:
Before the death of her father in June, Rayven did not have a relationship with her her biological mother and did not recognize Adams when she came to take custody of Rayven on June 10th, 2018, according to Young.
This makes me so sad. Virginia Adams had Rayven for what, two weeks, before Rayven's death? Why the hell did she want custody of Rayven so badly? It seems like a situation of "I don't care about my child but I don't want anyone else to care about her." JMO.

Exclusive: Rayven Shields’ family says they were afraid for three-year-old's safety with her mother
My money is on Adams being Rayven's murderer.

you WOULD THINK if reunification was the goal they would start w supervised visits then progress if "mom" complied? why did they just hand this poor child over? maybe the father had never established custody? I wish that aunt had refused :(
 
Bryan mother, boyfriend indicted on charges related to child's death

Virginia Adams, 35, was indicted on charges of injury to a child and tampering with evidence to alter, destroy or conceal a human body.

Court documents obtained by KBTX name Adams' 3-year-old daughter, Rayven Shields. In the indictment, Adams is accused of "intentionally and knowingly, by omission, causing serious bodily injury... by failing to protect her or failing to seek medical treatment."

Adams' boyfriend, Patrick Wilson, 51, is indicted on the same charges, along with a charge of unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. Wilson's additional firearm charge is listed as an enhancement of the charges against him, a common method of strengthening punishments given to repeat offenders.
