An Illinois Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) employee who was viciously attacked last year while on the job has died, according to news reports.
Pamela Knight was attempting to take a 2-year-old boy into protective custody when she was allegedly beaten by 25-year-old Andrew Sucher of Rock Falls, Illinois. In the September 2 incident, officials say Sucher knocked the 59-year-old Knight down and kicked her in the head, fracturing her skull and causing permanent brain damage.
