Agency investigated boy's mother last year
WESLACO - Investigators with Child Protective Services are talking to relatives of a 5-year-old boy killed in a dog attack.
Pablo Hernandez was killed by a pit bull on Wednesday night. It happened at the home of his aunt, uncle, and grandmother.
CPS workers tell us they step in any time there's a death involving a child. But NEWSCHANNEL 5 learned this isn't the first time CPS has been called in to investigate.
The agency investigated the 5-year-old's mother last July. Then she moved away.
We learned the boy's grandmother actually had custody of him and his siblings. The children have been living with her and their aunt and uncle for the last year.
The Hidalgo County Sheriff's Office is also investigating the incident. So far, no charges have been filed.
It's still not known what kind of action, if any, CPS will take.
