10 Year Old Malayshia Alford Was In Foster Care...So Who Was Protecting Her? 10-year-old Malayshia Alford was supposed to be safe. Living in foster care in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, she was entrusted to a system designed to protect vulnerable children. But after being reported missing, her body was tragically discovered inside the trunk of a car in Lindenwold, New Jersey. Authorities say Malayshia's foster mother, Carprice Williams, has been charged with murder following an investigation into the little girl's death. An autopsy determined that Malayshia died from blunt force trauma. But her heartbreaking story raises questions that cannot be ignored: Who was checking on Malayshia while she was in foster care? Were there warning signs? Was anyone making sure she was safe? Foster care is supposed to provide protection, stability, and safety. No child should have to fear the very people entrusted with their care. Malayshia deserved a childhood. She deserved protection. And her story deserves to be heard. We must continue asking questions, demanding accountability, and advocating for children who cannot speak for themselves. Listen to Our Kids. Their voices matter. Their lives matter. #listen_to_our_kids #systemfailure #cps #fostercare #philadelphia - @listen_to_our_kid
