PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon state review shows child welfare workers received 10 reports of suspected abuse involving Amanda Stott-Smith in the nine years before she dumped her two young children off a Portland bridge in May 2009, killing her young son.
However the state says it did not find enough evidence to take the children out of the home.
The state report released Thursday offers new details about reports alleging domestic violence, child abuse or neglect starting in June 2000. Several reports involved an older son.
In a plea bargain last month, 32-year-old Stott-Smith pleaded guilty to aggravated murder and attempted aggravated murder and was sentenced to at least 35 years in prison.
