The Evidence: DHS & Ombudsman Discrepancies
Inconsistent Reporting
The Ombudsman's report directly contradicts DHS intake files regarding the timeline of physical assessments post-removal. Key dates have been altered in the digital portal without corresponding physical paper trails.
Missing Medical Clearances
Despite claims of "regular wellness checks," three critical months of medical documentation are completely missing from the official file, spanning the exact period abuse was reported by the minor.
Systemic Oversight
Internal communications reveal that case workers flagged safety concerns four times in six months, yet no action was taken by regional supervisors to move Jr to a safer environment.
Procedural Violations
The initial removal was executed without a signature from the presiding judge, a direct violation of state family code that has yet to be addressed in preliminary hearings.
Justice for Jr: A Fight for the Truth
For over 450 days, Jr has been caught in a system that failed to protect him. What began as a "temporary protective removal" has devolved into a nightmare of administrative negligence and documented physical harm.
We are not just fighting for his return; we are fighting for an accounting of every bruise, every missing record, and every silenced report. The system didn't just fail Jr—it actively obscured the truth.
Your support for the Legal Fund directly pays for a top-tier investigative legal team and forensic experts who can compel the release of the sealed files DHS refuses to show.
