AUGUSTA Senator Chip Curry, D-Belfast, submitted a request Friday for the Government Oversight Committee to investigate the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Child and Family Services (OCFS) and Child Protective Services. Sen. Curry s request included a letter outlining his concerns.
“The death of a child is always tragic especially when it could have been prevented, like that of Maddox Williams of Stockton Springs,” said Sen. Curry. “The death of Maddox Williams is both heartbreaking and appalling. Tragically, several children in Maine died just last month. The Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Child and Family Services and Child Protective Services has failed these children. Our Legislature needs to determine how to better support these families and save lives.”
Following deaths of children, Sen Curry requests Government Oversight Investigation into DHHS

Superior Court Justice Robert Murray last week set bail at $150,000 cash. Her next court appearance is scheduled for Oct. 28, although that may change if she is indicted by a grand jury prior to that hearing.
Although DHHS cannot comment on specific cases while criminal charges are pending, court documents revealed that the department was involved at least twice during Maddox Williams’ short life.
Jessica Gleason of Skowhegan organized the “Maddox Matters” event Thursday outside the DHHS offices in Rockland. Gleason is a licensed foster parent and said she has experienced the failure of the system when attempting to adopt a foster child.
