NOT CHARGED | CHILD ABUSE NOT – State v. Ms. S. (DMC No. 102979) (Surprise Police Department Investigated): Ms. S. had a particularly difficult daughter who was 16 and had run away numerous times. She also abused alcohol, and would cut and burn herself. On one of the times she had run away, when police found her she claimed that her mother had been abusing her. She showed previous marks on her arms (which were self inflicted) as so called “evidence”. We subsequently presented the Deputy Maricopa County Attorney with Facebook posts, and a CPS report in which the daughter admitted to lying. Ultimately, no official charges were brought against Ms. S.
