The uncle of an 18-month-old Anderson boy who died under suspicious circumstances has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Child Services, claiming they failed him.  Harlan Haines died back in February at Riley Hospital for Children after a car accident involving his mother's boyfriend, Dylan Tate.  Court documents described Harlan's injuries and how paper towels were found stuffed down his windpipe on the day he arrived at the hospital. Those injuries were severe and included multiple bruises, cuts and other injuries that doctors believe had nothing to do with the car accident.  Tate and Harlan's mother, Jennifer Harris, have both been arrested. Harris is charged with neglect of a dependent resulting in death. Tate is facing the same but hasn't been officially charged by the prosecutor's office.
