Report: Officials Doubted Waterloo Couple's Ability To Parent

WATERLOO (AP) - Iowa social workers had doubts about a Waterloo couple's ability to care for their three children even before the death of their 8-month-old son.

That's according to Department of Human Services records that were released Friday.

Antwuan Williams Jr. died of head trauma in February 2008.

In the fall of 2006, social workers had blamed his parents, Tiara Williams and Antwuan Williams Sr., for injuries to another of their children.

Ziarah Williams had four to six fractures when she was just 3 months old. The Williams' initially lost custody of their children but regained it after officials and a judge changed their minds.

Tiara Williams is serving three 10-year sentences in her son's death. Antwuan Williams Sr. is serving a 50-year sentence.
