Zayden JayNesahkluah’s mother, 23-year-old Kimberly Compass, was charged last month with first-degree murder.
Reports were filed in December 2018 and January 2019 about neglect and lack of supervision. Later, the agency received reports that Compass’ then-partner was physically abusive, and more that Compass was neglectful.
Although the reports weren’t substantiated, Compass received a mental health referral. The agency says a service provider attempted to contact her on May 31, the day Zayden was found dead at a motel.
