Here is what I was able to put together on these three points:
- Past incidents of "accidents' and "injuries" and ER trips.
- When CPS removed the kids from the mother last year.
- Exact date when the kids returned to her partial care.
I haven't been able to find the exact date when the children were returned to the home. If anyone has that information AND A LINK, I'd sure appreciate it.
Please keep in mind that Khou11 received roughly 300 pages of documents. A very small number of those were shown in their video which I screenshotted, enlarged, summarized, etc. and is where most of the following information comes from. Without all 300 pages, obviously this is not a complete account. Some of my screenshots weren't even complete pages of the documents. (Video linked below)
Anyway, still tweaking it a little bit, but here's the gist:
July 10, 2018 - BB took Maleah to the ER after she was throwing up blood. Doctors reported Maleah was "extremely lethargic." Maleah was treated and released. [1]
July 28, 2018 BB contacted BB2, who was in New Orleans, and stated that Maleah had fallen from a tall chair to a marble table. BB said that Maleah was fine. BB2 advised BB to take Maleah to the hospital to be checked out. BB took Maleah to West Houston Memorial and was observed with a laceration to the forehead. BB is reported as denying child having similar symptoms as prior ER visit. She denied vomiting or abnormal behavior from Maleah. She also denied seizures or lethargy in the medical record. Maleah's forehead laceration was repaired. No imaging studies were reported as completed. The surgical pathology report reveals a chronic subdural hematoma displaying a prominent fibroblastic proliferation with collagen deposition, numerous small vessels, many hemosiderin-laden macrophages and acute hemorrhage. [2]
July 29, 2018 BB2 arrived home [2]
Jul 30, 2018 BB2 wasn't feeling well and didn't go to work. She observed that Maleah was fine. [2]
July 31, 2018 BB2 was still unwell and didn’t go to work. She observed that Maleah was fine. [2]
August 1, 2018 BB2 went back to work and Maleah was in the care of BB and DV, who lived in the home and is the father of BB’s youngest child. BB texted BB2 that something was wrong with Maleah and that her eyes were rolling back. BB2 told BB to take Maleah to the hospital. BB2 did acknowledge that BB had to be told to take Maleah to the hospital. BB took Maleah to the hospital and she was transported to a different hospital where she had a craniectomy to relieve pressure. It was stated that when Maleah was opened up that the blood color that was observed was not normal and it looked different and not "fresh." [2]
Medical professionals stated that the story BB and BB2 told about Maleah falling from a chair would not have caused the serious internal injuries which required half of Maleah's skull to be removed. If the fall had caused the injuries then Maleah would have much more severe and observable symptoms. [2]
BB2 stayed consistently by Maleah's side. BB was in and out and not consistently present at the hospital. This was unusual for a child with Maleah's severe condition. Maleah was in the ICU. CD, Maleah's father did visit and was lying in the bed with Maleah propped up on him. BB2 stated that neither was able to recall another trauma previous to July 28, 2018 that could have resulted in the subdural hematoma. [2]
When Maleah got out of ICU, doctors ordered that she wear a helmet for 12-24 months while she healed. [1]
August 3, 2018 The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) received a report alleging physical abuse and neglectful supervision. Maleah obtained an injury to the head which required a craniotomy and parents are providing stories inconsistent with the injuries sustained. After further medical review it was determined that the child suffered from a previous head injury that was not reported. [2]
August 10, 2018 Investigator MW spoke with Texas Children's Hospital Child Abuse Social Worker JW who provided MRI results from the physician confirming the previous unexplained injury and the inconsistent explanations for current injury. It was determined that the findings of two separate injuries (frontal laceration and a second fracture to the left posterior temporal bone) indicate more than one impact to Maleah's head. Maleah will have to wear a helmet for 12-24 months while her skull is healing. [2]
August 11, 2018 Investigator MW received a call from the FC, the social worker in the emergency room at TCMC who explained he had seen videos on an iPad that was reportedly brought to the hospital by a paternal aunt for Maleah to entertain herself. The videos on the device show Maleah play fighting with older children who are paternal family members. The date of the videos is near the date that Maleah was taken to the emergency room in early July 2018. I asked if the videos could provide an explanation for the previous head injuries and the videos were described as not useful to the investigation. [2]
August 13, 2018 Investigator MW made face to face contact with the mother and DV at the residence. The parents gave permission to view the home and where Maleah supposedly injured herself. I observed the area where it was reported Maleah fell and injured herself. The distance from the tall chair to the table was not measured due to lack of a measuring device. During the contact at the home, I discussed the result of the MRI and the findings with BB and DV. BB and DV denied any previous injury or head trauma. I discussed the injury to Maleah with sibling __________ and he stated she hit her head while
(playing?) with him around the home. __________ showed me where they were flipping in the home, when his sister hit her head. The caregivers continue to provide explanations that are inconsistent with the injury sustained by the child. [2]
August 14, 2018 The DFPS obtained TMC (temporary managing conservatorship) as of all children due to the Department’s concern about the safety and care of the three children in the home due to the allegations. [1]
September 4, 2018 Conference Date [2]
December 10, 2018 A status hearing was held in the District Court of Harris County TX. BB appeared in person and through attorney, CD appeared through attorney, JW – Court Appointed Ad Litem appeared __________ and ready. [2]
January 2019 – Month/Year of Next Review [2]
February 2019 – A judge ordered a “monitored return” home to BB, where “the caseworker could go at least once a month to check on the family,” according to CPS spokeswoman TB. The court also ordered that Maleah's parents take a parenting class. According to records, neither has completed that. [1]
March 19 (?) 2019 - “Maleah has had multiple brain surgeries, most recently end of March, early April, to fix the flap for her injury…” Sgt MH, HPD. [3]
