A family court judge in Dallas has ruled that the 4-year-old sister of Sherin Mathews, the Indian toddler found dead in a culvert in Texas last month, will soon leave foster care to live with an extended family member, according to media reports on Tuesday.
US Child Protective Services officials had removed the girl after Sherin, 3, was reported missing October 7 by her Indian-American adoptive father Wesley Mathews. CPS spokesperson Marissa Gonzales said the mother, Sini Mathews, and her family have been cooperative. “Well a home study was done on family members. We’re just waiting on everyone to be in agreement that that’s the place for her,” she was quoted as saying by WBAP radio station.
