Did family protective services fail to keep a 7-year-old alive? 13 Investigates dug into documentation that suggests signs of abuse were looked at but nothing was really acted upon.
Did CPS investigators fail to keep a 7-year-old alive? 13 Investigates dug into documentation that suggests signs of abuse were looked at but nothing was really acted on.
In 2015, records state the biological mother and the child tested positive for opiates and benzodiazepines at birth. The child had withdrawal symptoms, and the mother admitted to abusing pills that were not prescribed to her, according to the records. DFPS found that the biological mother abused her child, who was then removed and placed in a foster home before he was adopted in 2019.
The child was assessed by medical staff and it was determined that the injuries "may result from abuse or neglect but accidental/natural explanations are possible." According to the report, the child gave different stories of what happened. He said he fell on concrete, fell on the carpet, and then said he fell on the grass. He also mentioned his cousin punched him. The child was described as hyper, antsy, and skittish when approached. He also mentioned his father tried to break his Chromebook and requested it not be sent home.
Karleana Farias, an attorney with years of DFPS experience, said her biggest concern is the vetting process behind the adoptive parents.
