WRTV Investigates Kara Kenney fights for what's right and holds those in power accountable.
LaPorte, Ind. — A foster mother is calling for an “independent criminal investigation” into the Indiana Department of Child Services employees who handled her foster son’s case.
Hullett has also filed a lawsuit in Hendricks County against Judah’s birth father Alan Morgan. DCS has also been added as a party to the case.In an email to DCS attorneys on May 7, Hullett’s attorney Charlie Rice said he wants police to criminally investigate the DCS employees who handled Judah’s case.
“Irrespective of the outcome of the civil cases involving Judah Morgan, if DCS continues to condone the individual and collective wrongdoing which led to Judah's death, more children will suffer and die,” said Rice in an email to WRTV. “The recent deaths of other children in the DCS system highlights the need for DCS to immediately reform, hold individuals accountable, and show more interest in protecting children than protecting itself.
“Goebel and Stowers were aware of Dreessen’s misconduct and facilitated, approved, condoned, and otherwise turned a blind eye to Dreessen’s misconduct,” read the lawsuit. In 2017, Judah’s birth parents had substantiated allegations of neglect and abuse with regard to Judah’s older brother.When he was four months old, Judah Morgan was placed with his foster mother Jenna Hullett.
“In addition to Alan Morgan’s domestic violence history, DCS knew that Alan Morgan was ‘a hot head’ with substantiated abuse and neglect and a chronic drug user, but never sought a psychological assessment of Alan Morgan prior to closing the CHINS case,” read the lawsuit.
