Domestic Violence Revealed after Boy's Death

In Los Angeles, police say that they are investigating an 11 year old boy's suicide.  They say that they did not learn key information about the boy's abusive stepfather until after the boy hung himself.

The Los Angeles Times reported that the investigators on the case lacked key information because of communication difficulties with the Department of Children and Family Services.  On June 11th, workers came to the boy's home after he told a counselor at his school that he wanted to kill himself.  Hours after their visit to the home, the boy was found dead.

After his suicide, investigators learned that the stepfather had a history of domestic violence and drug abuse.  He answered the door when workers arrived to speak with the boy even though the court had banned him from living at the home.

If you are a victim of domestic violence, it is important that you speak with an attorney that handles family law cases.  Domestic violence could impact the outcome of related family law matters, like divorce and child custody.  To learn how a Jacksonville family lawyer can help you, contact Ellerin & Hutchinson today!
