The Massachusetts child welfare agency is again under scrutiny following the death of a child in a foster home.
A social worker with the Department of Children and Families visited the Auburn foster home of a 2-year-old girl three days before her death Saturday.
An autopsy of Avalena Conway Cox did not immediately determine the cause of death. Police continue to investigate. A second child from the foster home is hospitalized in critical condition.
Governor Charlie Baker said Monday a review is underway into how DCF handled the case.
"I'm not going to be satisfied until we get to the point where this sort of thing doesn't happen. Period," Baker told reporters.
Baker said DCF is being reformed after a scandal last year also involving the death of a child. He said the agency was not subjected to budget cuts that impacted other parts of state government.
