Summary
A shocking lawsuit accuses New Mexico’s Children, Youth and Families Department of abandoning a 16-year-old runaway after he was fatally shot — even though caseworkers allegedly knew where he was living. The teen, removed from his mother’s care and returned to her home, was placed in unstable foster situations before fleeing back. Despite visits to his home and clear knowledge of his whereabouts, CYFD labeled him a runaway to avoid responsibility — cutting off critical support like school clothes and medical transport. The department now faces mounting legal pressure, with this case echoing past failures, including a fatal shooting linked to CYFD’s inaction. The department vows to defend itself in court, but the allegations raise urgent questions about accountability and child safety.
