CNN | Newspaper: Welfare bosses fired for failing abused teen
PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (AP) -- The case of a 14-year-old girl who wasted away under the nose of the city's social service agency, weighing just 46 pounds when she died, has helped lead to the ouster of two of the agency's top officials.

The case was a key factor in Mayor John F. Street's decision last week to force the resignation of Human Services Commissioner Cheryl Ransom-Garner and the firing of her deputy, John McGee, city officials told the newspaper.
