The state agency charged with ensuring children’s safety received 25 reports about Marissa Kennedy and her family in the 16 months leading up to her February 2018 murder. But it didn’t confirm her stepfather and mother were abusing her until she was dead. A summary of Maine Department of Health and Human Services’ involvement with Marissa Kennedy’s family released Friday following Sharon Kennedy’s sentencing in her daughter’s murder for the first time offers the public a detailed look at the state agency’s response to multiple reports from school employees, neighbors and treatment professionals detailing concerns about Marissa Kennedy’s safety and wellbeing. The chronicle of the department’s involvement shows that, despite frequent reports alleging Julio Carrillo’s violent, controlling behavior toward Marissa and Sharon Kennedy, no one managed to confirm he was abusing the girl — a finding that could have prompted the state to remove her from her mother and stepfather’s custody.
