Chapter 8 - Child Protective Services Opens a Formal Investigation Case
By late afternoon, a senior case investigator from the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services arrived at my hospital suite.
She carried a thick leather briefcase and wore a sympathetic expression that immediately put my frayed nerves at ease.
“I’ve reviewed the audio logs authenticated by the county sheriff and the medical reports from your emergency intake,” the investigator said.
“What you endured in that house constitutes severe, premeditated domestic abuse and targeted psychological torture.”
She opened a formal case file across the bedside table, sliding a stack of emergency protective custody paperwork toward me.
