BOSTON – Bella Bond, the little girl whose body was discovered stuffed in a trash bag on the shores of Deer Island, remained with her mother – who now faces charges in her daughter's death – only after state child-welfare workers prematurely closed an examination into the toddler's home life, a state investigation has determined.
The Department of Children and Families hastily closed an abuse investigation involving Bella and her home life in September 2013, the Office of the Child Advocate said Wednesday in a report. Rachelle Bond, Bella's mother, had a history of drug abuse, prostitution and restraining orders that was known to the agency, according to the review.
BOSTON (AP) — A Salem witch has won a protective court order against a warlock she accuses of harassing her.
The Boston Globe reported that a judge granted the order to witch priestess Lori Sforza, who accused self-proclaimed warlock Christian Day of harassing her over the phone and Internet for years. Both sides testified in court Wednesday.
