(AP) State Human Services Director Marianne Udow says her agency will investigate whether it needs to change its child protection system.

That follows the release of documents in the beating death of 7-year-old Ricky Holland of Williamston.

Parents Tim and Lisa Holland are charged with murder and accuse each other of killing Ricky. The boy was reported missing in July, and his remains were found in rural Ingham County on January 27th.

The new documents show that case workers suspected Lisa Holland had abused her children in recent months. The state has requested temporary custody of the couple’s four surviving children.
