## Resource

A prosecutor is exposing shocking failures by child protective services and Flint police in the deaths of two young boys under the care of Elysa Kelemen, who’s now convicted of murdering six-year-old Kyron. Despite multiple abuse reports filed over months, CPS closed all cases — and Kyron was dead by January. The prosecutor, Adam Strong, calls it an “incredible failure,” saying many people let this boy down. It’s not the first tragedy: Elysa’s four-year-old son Carter died in 2020, with no signs of abuse found — but Strong believes the investigation was incomplete, and Carter’s grandmother says no relatives were interviewed. The family seeks a third-party autopsy review, but authorities refuse to open the records — CPS says they follow the evidence, and Flint police say the case is still open.
