The Bright Family, FINALLY Exonerated by the Child Thieves at CPS.

We've reported twice before about the horrendous miscarriage of justice in Tomball, Texas, where a family has been hounded and "investigated" for more than a year after their little toddler son fell off a lawn chair in the family's driveway and hurt his head.

The Bright family had previously been rewarded one of the largest settlements CPS has ever paid to pay their legal expenses---$127,000. But, despite that court order, it has taken several additional months for the corrupt so-called "child protective" "services" (CPS) to admit that they never had any evidence of child abuse against the family in the first place, despite the corrupt "testimony" of a supposed "child abuse" specialist (doctor.)

Here is the key excerpt:

"A few weeks later, a Harris County judge ordered the children returned to the Brights and rebuked Child Protective Services for needlessly traumatizing the family despite having “no credible evidence” of abuse. The judge also ordered the agency to retrain its investigators and pay $127,000 in sanctions to cover the Brights’ legal fees.

But this is the first time the state has acknowledged that Melissa Bright did not abuse her baby. (Although the state removed the children from both parents, the letter did not list Dillon as a subject of the investigation.) Dennis Slate, a Houston lawyer who represented the Brights, said he believes the letter was issued as a result of the reporting by NBC News and the Chronicle.

Agency officials recently discovered they never formally closed the case, Crimmins said in a text message, and that’s what triggered the letter....

'It's nothing new,' he (Slate) said. 'Just formalized and documented the case closing.'

In an earlier statement, Texas Children’s officials defended their handling of the case, noting that the hospital’s doctors are required by law to report suspicious injuries, and that 'a referral to CPS is not absolute confirmation of abuse, nor a determination of guilt or innocence of the parents'.”

So....per usual...because one child accidentally fell and hurt himself, CPS contrived a case of abuse against his siblings by the parents. The whole thing was a huge travesty of justice from the very first day the "expert" "doctor" gave the CPS workers their false testimony regarding the son's fall--saying there had to be child abuse because he bled a lot. (Anyone with half a brain knows that head injuries DO bleed a lot, but no matter...)

It's good to see CPS in Texas finally forced to admit their wrongdoing. It remains to be seen, however, if anything will change, even though they've been ordered by the same court to retrain their employees to understand that parents DO have rights, and what real abuse looks like.

I have ZERO confidence despite this matter finally being officially closed that there will be any real improvement in the CPS culture in Texas. The system is designed NEVER to let parents' word be their bond, and always to assume the worst..i.e. guilty until proven innocent... and nothing in Texas Law has yet changed to reverse that destructive, anti-American course.
