The woman charged with murder and torture in the death of her adopted daughter appeared in juvenile court Monday for a dependency hearing. The confidential hearing was meant to determine the custody of the two surviving, younger sisters. CBS 8 has learned the girls will remain in the custody of a new foster family as the criminal case progresses against the adoptive family members. The biological mother, Torianna Florey, walked into juvenile court Monday expecting to come face-to-face with the woman accused of murdering her oldest daughter, Aarabella McCormack, 11. Florey lost custody of her three biological daughters in 2017 following several complaints to Child Welfare Services. The girls were placed into foster care with the McCormack family, who later adopted them. The adoptive mother, Leticia McCormack, and her parents, Stanley and Adella Tom, are now charged with torture in the death of Aarabella and the abuse of the two younger sisters. Monday's hearing was closed to the public. It was set to formally transfer custody of the surviving siblings, ages 6 and 8, to a new foster family. It will be a difficult transition, according family law attorney Anton Georghiou, who is not involved in the case.
