Makamy Anderson\u2019s death is the most recent tragedy to come to light amid a string of deaths of children in the state\u2019s care.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

On May 16, 17-year-old Makamy Sage Anderson took her own life at a home assigned to her by the New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department. Makamy, who was pregnant at the time of her death, is one of four youths to die under CYFD\u2019s watch since April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Details about Makamy\u2019s life are scarce at this stage. Foster and adoptive parents, counselors and relatives who knew her did not respond to requests to speak to a reporter for this story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Makamy\u2019s case worker had asked for help finding mental health providers in the area, according to the documents obtained by Searchlight. The documents do not say whether she received those services. Before taking her life, she wrote \u201cDo not save me\u201d on her arm, the documents say.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Case files obtained by Searchlight show that Makamy was struggling in the weeks before her death. She was upset about having to leave her home community in southeastern New Mexico for foster placements, and was specifically unhappy about being sent to stay in CYFD office buildings, where the department often sends children to sleep when case workers can\u2019t find a suitable foster home. In late April, she was taken from a CYFD office to Springer, a five-and-a-half-hour drive from her hometown of Hobbs. She died there three weeks later. A memorial service was held for Makamy in Hobbs in early June. She leaves behind a boyfriend and at least one sibling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe was a couch surfer, she bounced from house to house,\u201d said Randy Pettigrew, a Republican state representative from Lea County who has had access to CYFD documentation on Makany\u2019s case. \u201cShe had a multitude of office stays. She was listed as a runaway multiple times\u201d while dealing with significant mental health challenges, he said. At least one of the foster homes she was assigned to was not properly licensed by CYFD, Pettigrew said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Makamy\u2019s case worker had asked for help finding mental health providers in the area, according to the documents obtained by Searchlight. The documents do not say whether she received those services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before taking her life, she wrote \u201cDo not save me\u201d on her arm, the documents say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CYFD declined to comment on Makany\u2019s death, saying in an email that because the case \u201cis still under active investigation, it would be premature for CYFD to respond at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA vicious cycle\u201d harming foster youth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The tragedy comes as CYFD faces scathing criticism<\/a> from state legislators, who say the agency has failed to protect New Mexico\u2019s most vulnerable children. In the most recent session, lawmakers passed several significant bills aimed at increasing oversight and transparency at the agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much of the criticism centers on the agency\u2019s lack of progress in fulfilling promises it made under the 2020 settlement of the Kevin S. lawsuit, a class action suit which claimed the state\u2019s child welfare system was \u201clocking New Mexico\u2019s foster children into a vicious cycle of declining physical, mental and behavioral health.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of that settlement, CYFD agreed to stop housing its foster youth in group settings and to provide them with adequate mental health care. But the department has failed year after year to meet its commitments to those promises, according to independent monitors<\/a> \u2014 failures that were highlighted<\/a> yet again in an arbitration hearing last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, CYFD has continued to house children with serious mental and behavioral health needs in youth homeless shelters<\/a> and its office buildings, where they have been sexually assaulted<\/a>, injured by armed guards<\/a> and exposed to fentanyl and other drugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those placements have been particularly harmful for teenagers like Makamy. A 2022 investigation by Searchlight and ProPublica found that many teens in foster care \u2014 a group that CYFD has an especially hard time placing in stable homes \u2014 spend their teenage years shuffling between shelters and offices without receiving adequate mental health services. These teenagers experience drastic declines in their mental health amid such instability, often culminating in violent outbursts, suicide attempts and other crises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In two episodes now, which happened barely a month apart, teenagers who had been repeatedly shuffled through offices and shelters have died by suicide. In April, Jaydun Garcia, a 16-year-old who was beloved by his peers in foster care, took his life at a makeshift home in Albuquerque for youth who lack foster placements. Two other children involved with CYFD, both of them infants, have died since June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m profoundly sad, we should all be profoundly sad, that we\u2019ve seen two children in state custody take their own lives because they felt so hopeless and so alone,\u201d said Maralyn Beck, executive director of New Mexico Child First Network, a foster care advocacy organization. \u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s any problem facing New Mexico that\u2019s more serious, with life-altering consequences, than the crisis that is our child protective services.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garcia\u2019s death prompted intense outcry among advocates, attorneys and legislators \u2014 as well as an investigation<\/a> by New Mexico Attorney General Ra\u00fal Torrez. A spokesperson for the New Mexico Department of Justice, the agency overseen by Torrez, said that investigators are currently examining Makany Anderson\u2019s death as well.\u201cWe are aware of the recent tragic incident involving a young individual in Springer, New Mexico,\u201d Lauren Rodriguez, chief of staff at the department, said in an email to Searchlight. \u201cOur office is actively reviewing the circumstances surrounding this case. We urge anyone with information about the individual\u2019s history or events leading up to their death to contact<\/a> the New Mexico Department of Justice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
