Pardo Family CPS Case Dismissed, Controversy Closed

[Elderberry]

Texas Scorecard By Destin Sensky December 3, 2019

Drake Pardo and his family received a win in the CPS case heard across the state, oft characterized as a blatant trampling of parental and family rights.[/font]

A court case between a family accused, without their knowledge, of medical child abuse, resulting in the removal of their child from their custody by the state’s Child Protective Services agency, has been dismissed by a Kaufman family court judge.

The case, which has been called an “egregious miscarriage of justice” and resulted in the “complete disregard for parental rights” and the illegal removal of a 4-year-old boy in June, is effectively over. On Tuesday, a Kaufman County court at law judge signed a dismissal agreement between CPS and the Pardo family.

In July, Texas Scorecard carried a three-part commentary authored by State Sen. Bob Hall (R–Edgewood), detailing the events after CPS’s heavy-handed overreach. The family resides in the district he represents in northeast Texas, and Hall had been present in virtually every step of the case’s progress.

Unless the CPS mini-tyrants got their snouts rapped into involuntary career change and Fryolator training this is only a partial victory. Nothing was done to hinder future CPS abuse of authority, and the mini-tyrants are probably POed at losing.

Back story on the Pardo's if you are unfamiliar.:


This saga began on April 22 when the Pardos submitted an official complaint against Children’s Medical Center in Dallas. Their complaint: Drake’s doctor refused to visit him while he was admitted to the hospital for multiple days. The physician the Pardos filed the complaint against had been seeing Drake for years and disagreed with the parents’ desire to get a second opinion on the type of feeding tube that would be best for Drake.

The hospital stated they would review the complaint within 45 days, but the Pardos were never contacted by the hospital. On day 46, Drake was taken from them in their home. After the complaint was filed, the physician passed Drake’s files along to Dr. Suzanne Dakil, a member of the “Child Abuse” unit at Children’s Medical Center Dallas for review. Dr. Dakil completed an affidavit with speculative claims that she said needed to be confirmed or ruled out only after meeting with the parents. Dr. Dakil did not state Drake was in an emergency situation, and she stated under oath that she was surprised CPS removed Drake from his family.
