Fenty fires 6 in girls’ deaths

Published



Six D.C. government employees who failed to help Banita Jacks before she allegedly killed her four daughters were fired Monday, as Mayor Adrian Fenty rolled out a lineup of reforms aimed at fixing mistakes that contributed to the tragedy.

The employees — front-line social workers, supervisors, call-takers and the child protective services director among them — all work for the D.C. Child and Family Services Agency. Two other staffers stand to be fired as the investigation advances. Their names and official titles were not released.
