A CBS 2 investigation raises questions about whether the child's foster mother should have even had her foster license at the time of the girl's death.
The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services is requesting that the Chicago Police Department re-open a criminal investigation into the death of 3-year-old Aaliyah Benka. DCFS indicated the little girl's foster mother was responsible for the child's death. But there have been no criminal charges.
A year and a half after moving in with Castleberry, Aaliyah's body started rejecting the new heart. Castleberry took her to Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago. Piecing together all the records, we found the cardiologist treating Aaliyah before her death was"alarmed" when she reviewed Aaliyah's blood work and saw a very low level of anti-rejection medication. Chicago Police and DCFS were called. A Medical Examiner report says the doctor suspected Castleberry neglected to give Aaliyah her anti-rejection medication.
We tried to talk to Castleberry about the findings. She refused to answer most questions. Though when asked about not giving Aaliyah her medicine she said,"That's not true"."A DCFS official says Castleberry did not appeal the findings and she surrendered her foster care license. Court records show a motion to,"present proof of anger management," was filed. Then the charge was dropped.
