Sad discovery of TX CPS director

Missing CPS worker found dead

(3/15/06 - VICTORIA, TX) - A missing Child Protective Services program director has been found dead, officials said Wednesday.


Family members had reported Sally Blackwell, 53, missing and were worried about threats she received on a case, San Antonio television station KENS reported. She was last heard from Monday about 9 p.m. and did not report to work at her Victoria office on Tuesday, police and CPS officials said.

"It's been confirmed to us that the body they located is our employee, Sally Blackwell," CPS spokesman Patrick Crimmins said.

"We are shocked and saddened at that fact. Everyone who was aware of her disappearance had been hoping there would be a happier outcome. Word has been spreading across the state."

Child Protective Services investigates reports of abuse and neglect of children, and, if necessary, places them in foster care.

According to CPS, Blackwell oversaw 46 caseworkers, their supervisors and additional support staff in nine counties.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with her family."

Why did someone who had tried to help so many innocent little ones have to suffer for trying to help.

May God give her family peace and her soul eternal rest.


It is a disturbing reality that when you work with troubled people, you put yourself at risk. Hopefully this draws attention to the wonderful and positive job so many nameless and faceless people do in selflessly giving of themselves to help others. Her life was not in vain. May her death not be, either.
