WICHITA, Kan. — Multiple chances were missed to save a 3-year-old Wichita boy before he was found encased in concrete, a former Kansas welfare official said. Keech counted six separate reports of abuse that the agency received from July 21, 2016, to May 14, 2017, before Evan’s death. Her analysis shows the agency failed to adequately address all safety and risk concerns with five of the six reports. She also found that DCF failed to collect all relevant information in at least four of the six reports. I am reviewing this case based on investigative procedures that used to be standard for the agency.”Shayla Johnston, a Brewer family spokeswoman and attorney, agrees with Keech that DCF failed.
