NOT CHARGED – Child Abuse, State v. Mr. S. (DMC No.7260)
NOT CHARGED – Child Abuse, State v. Mr. S. (DMC No.7260) (El Mirage Police Department): Mr. S. was a foster parent looking after many kids in his house. One of the residents was a 21 year old who was mildly retarded and a ward of the State. The alleged victim called police and stated he had been punched by Mr. S. We were able to show that he merely wanted to move out of Mr. S.’s house in order to live with his girlfriend, and that he had manufactured his story. No charges were brought against Mr. S.
NOT CHARGED – Child Abuse, State v. Ms. I.
Ms. I. worked in a group home for children with behavioral problems. A 13 year old boy (who was 5 foot 7 and weighed 180 pounds) claimed that he was physically assaulted by Ms. I., who was much smaller. We were able to meet with C.P.S. and detectives, and it was agreed that this case was “unsubstantiated.” Charges were not filed against Ms. I. and she was allowed to keep her caretaker’s license.
NOT CHARGED – Elder Abuse, State v. Ms. W.
Ms. W. was contacted by Adult Protective Services and by Detectives regarding her allegations that she had taken money and possessions from her 88 year old mother. We were able to show that her mother suffers from dementia, all money was truly accounted for, and the items she had received from her mother were truly gifts. Detectives and Adult Protective Services “unsubstantiated” the claim, and no charges were filed against Ms. W.
