Baby Dies While in Foster Care

A four-month-old boy taken from his parents in July and put in foster care has died in Springfield. An autopsy indicates Christopher Henry Cryderman died from a rapidly spreading infection. The medical examiner says there’s no evidence of abuse. The boy’s parents charge the Greene County Children’s Division knew their son had breathing problems, but didn’t get him medical attention in a timely manner. Three investigations have been started; an internal one in the state Children’s Divison office, the county Child Fatality Review Board and by the Greene County Sheriff’s Office.
