RESULTS: CPS Administrative Reason Findings Overturned

In a challenging and heart-wrenching case, our clients — a married couple who had adopted an older teen boy — found themselves in a horrific situation when the teen molested their biological young child.  The Clients sought counsel from various resources to try to find out what to do, and ultimately called the police. However CPS (Child Protective Services) accused them of failing to timely report the molestation and adequately protect their child.

Actions Taken

Attorney Jacob Blizzard, dual board certified in Criminal Law and Criminal Appeals, took on the case with determination and a commitment to justice. Through the administrative law review process, Mr. Blizzard presented compelling evidence that our clients had no prior indication of abuse by the adopted child. Once the abuse was discovered, they acted swiftly to report it to authorities and remove the child from their home.

Outcome

The findings by CPS were ultimately reversed.

Our clients’ reputation was restored, recognizing their proactive actions taken to protect their own child. This legal victory not only cleared their names but also highlighted flaws in the CPS decision-making process.

Impact

It serves as a catalyst for reevaluating CPS guidelines and procedures, potentially leading to improvements in how child abuse cases are handled. By challenging the initial findings, this victory underscores the importance of due process and evidence-based decision-making in child protection cases.
