A CPS custody hearing is underway in Dallas County over the biological child of Wesley and Sini Mathews, the adoptive parents of Sherin Mathews, who was found dead in a Richardson culvert last month, WFAA reports.

Wesley Mathews is expected to either surrender his parental rights for his 4-year-old daughter or have them terminated by the state.

Sini Mathews invoked her Fifth Amendment rights on most questions asked by the state in the 37 minutes she was on the stand.

The state asked several questions about the night Sherin disappeared, as well as questions about alleged broken bones the 3-year-old suffered last spring.
