   Bruises were also noted on the boy's back and "were caused by his   
   mother," the petition said.   
      
   Doctors at Children's Hospital examined the pair and found multiple   
   examples of abuse, according to the petition. "(The children)   
   disclosed being abused throughout their childhood," the petition   
   said. "Twenty-five scars and injuries on (the boy's) back, both old   
   and new, as a result of physical abuse by ... Blair.   
      
   "Numerous loop-shaped scars and injuries on (the boy's) body,   
   including his back, right buttock and right hip," the petition said.   
   "These injuries are consistent with ... Blair using an extension   
   cord to physically abuse them.   
      
   "(The girl) has also been beaten with a cord and burned with a   
   clothing iron and has burns on her body," the petition said.   
      
   Abuse substantiated   
      
   State Child Protective Services workers had contact with Blair in   
   September 2002 and February 2005, after allegations of abuse   
   surfaced, the petition said. The petition said the abuse was   
   substantiated.   
      
   It was unclear whether any action was taken after the abuse was   
   determined. After the February 2005 Child Protective Services   
   complaint, "Blair was referred for services through Families First,   
   CBC Counseling Services, Eastwood Clinic (individual and family   
   counseling and psychological evaluation) and Work First." It's   
   unclear whether she received the services.   
      
   Blair received $771 a month in food assistance and Medicaid through   
   March, "accepting governmental benefits for two deceased children,"   
   the petition said.   
      
   Alexander Dorsey, father of Stoni and the surviving girl, said he   
   last saw his children two years ago, and that Blair barred him from   
   her home, according to the petition.   
      
   "He talked to (the surviving girl) ... approximately seven months   
   ago," the petition said. "When he asked about Stoni's whereabouts,   
   he was told she was visiting her maternal great-aunt."   
      
   The petition said Dorsey "failed to protect his children from an   
   unfit home environment where the children were physically abused,   
   tortured and murdered," adding he owes $39,000 in back child support   
   payments.   
   Stephen Berry, father of Stephen and the surviving boy, said he last   
   saw his children in April 2012 and that Blair prevented him from   
   seeing them. He owes more than $10,000 in child support for the two   
   children, the petition said, adding he also "neglected to protect   
   his children from an abusive environment."   
      
   Both fathers have criminal records, according to the petition,   
   including convictions for drunken driving and firearm offenses.   
      
   Apartment 'trashed'   
      
   According to the police report, a neighbor said Blair told her what   
   she'd done.   
      
   "(The woman) stated (Blair) told her she made (Stephen and Stoni)   
   move away to their aunt's because they were doing mean things to   
   (the relative) such as taking food from him and raping him," the   
   report said. "It was finally on (Tuesday) that (Blair) admitted to   
   (the woman) as to what she had done ... and why."   
      
   The report said the family's apartment "was trashed with garbage and   
   food tossed about everywhere in every room. The apartment appeared   
   to be almost unlivable."   
      
   Wayne County Medical Examiner spokesman Ryan Bridges said plans to   
   perform autopsies on the bodies have been postponed until the bodies   
   thaw.   
      
   A probable cause hearing has been set for April 2 before 36th   
   District Judge Kenneth King. A preliminary exam has been scheduled   
   for April 9.
