They never did that,\u201d Belval told the Herald. \u201cDCF is responsible for all of it. DCF is responsible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Herald reported DCF workers could have forced Joassaint to undergo a psychological evaluation by petitioning a judge. They could have also sought a judge\u2019s order to compel the mom to open her door when the agency visited, but did neither.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement defending their actions, the department wrote to the Miami Herald, \u201cEvery day, staff at [DCF] have the difficult responsibility of protecting Florida\u2019s children while only removing children from a home if a parent is unfit to care for their children or is likely to harm their children. In this case, DCF investigators were very involved with the family and recommended many services, but there was no history of physical child abuse to the two young children that would have led to their removal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the statement said, \u201cStill, you will find from these records that as DCF staff interacted with this family, they recommended many services that were ultimately refused, while those very services may have resulted in a much different outcome.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joassaint is facing two murder charges.<\/p>\n<p>She told stunned cops \u201cI don\u2019t want them anymore\u201d as to why she strangled her two children with red ribbon when they arrived at her home, the Miami Herald reported at the time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCome get them,\u201d she told arriving medics and cops about the dead kids, according to the outlet. \u201cI don\u2019t want them.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
