Lissette's case exploded in a crisis over the care of at-risk children that has outraged Chileans. After initially reporting just 185 deaths, the government recently acknowledged that 865 children have died under the care of the National Service for Minors over 11 years. It also forced the resignation of Justice Minister Javiera Blanco and Marcela Labrana, the former head of National Service for Minors. Lissette died the night of April 11, when her caretaker and a colleague were alone by themselves at the shelter. A special prosecutor is investigating the deaths of Lissette and all the other children who died in the agency's care.
