Three months before Emani Moss was starved to death, the Gwinnett County Division of Family and Children Services received a complaint that the 10-year-old was being neglected.

The anonymous complaint was not followed up, according to DFCS’ case summary, because the agency could not find the address of Emani’s father and stepmother.

Eman and Tiffany Moss will make their first appearance in Gwinnett County Magistrate Court at 1:30 p.m. Friday.

More details in Friday’s Atlanta Journal-Constitution and online at myajc.com.
