[quote=Anonymous]A man -- almost certainly a voucher recipient or someone who was living with a voucher recipient -- has been charged with murder over the September death of an 18-month-old girl at Sedgwick Gardens, the building that first garnered attention over voucher recipients:

The police report, which you can find on the DC court case online lookup, is absolutely horrific. The Sedgewick Gardens management also seems as if it did not want to provide security-camera footage to the police, if you read the report. Shady, shady stuff.

This is a separate case from the other instance of a child's death at the hands of an adult voucher recipient, about 0.7 miles north on Connecticut. That man still has yet to be charged with anything more than cruelty to children, however, and is not being detained until trial.

At what point does someone -- ANYONE -- step in here and say this program has gone horrifically wrong? How many more kids need to die? 5? 10?[/quote]
