The social worker who supervised the children’s visits with Josh Powell and made the frantic 911 call when she feared for Charlie and Braden Powell’s welfare had chosen not to comment to media.

However, a voicemail statement was released by the Foster Care Resource Network (FCRN), who is the woman’s employer.

"The management and staff of Foster Care Resource Network are devastated by the deaths of Charlie and Braden Powell," the recorded statement said. "All of us send our condolences to the boy’s family, especially the boy’s maternal grandparents.

"Our professional case worker has been conducting court ordered supervised visits with the children in their father’s home since Nov. 2. 2011. Our case worker is horrified over what happened to these wonderful children with whom she has worked with for months and has come to love."

The statement went on to say that police and the Department of Social and Health Services are conducting investigations and FCRN did not wish to interfere with those investigations by talking with the media at this time.
