Today marks the start of the claim against Sacramento County Child Protective Services filed by John Demas of our firm on behalf Kyle Doe. Prior to today’s press conference announcing the filing of claim, Kyle drew national media attention for his daring escape from torture and captivity from a Tracy home in December 2008.

I say this marks the start of the claim, however, the ordeal that Kyle suffered at the hands of CPS’ ineptitude started over ten years ago. CPS turned a blind eye and brushed numerous allegations of abuse and neglect under the rug for years. In doing so, they left a vulnerable child in the hands of an abusive monster. Having worked on this claim, I can attest to the excitation of two states of angry: “Lawyer” angry – where I just cannot believe how systematically negligent an agency can be in attempting to carry out the most basic of duties; and “Mom” angry – where I cannot believe any child was forced to endure such a horrific existence.
