The New London woman charged with strangling to death her 4-year-old son had recently contacted the state Department of Children and Families about harm being done to the boy, the agency said.
“Recently,” according to a DCF statement on Tiffany Farrauto, “we were contacted by the mother, who expressed concerns that an unknown party may have maltreated her son. Upon review, we provided the mother with information on resources in the community.”
Farrauto, 33, is charged with murder in the death of her son on Sunday. She was being held on bonds of over $2 million after a court appearance Monday and is under a suicide watch.
