From FOX 8:

Curtis was in foster care for 2.5 years and doing well. In March of 2023, however, Cuyahoga County Juvenile Judge Allison Floyd terminated supervision and gave Curtis back to his biological mother permanently, even though an attorney hired to represent the child expressed concerns. Four months later, the child was killed.

FOX 8 goes on to report that the child’s foster parents and biological father warned against him going back to live with his biological mother.

At the sentencing Michelle Moody, Curtis’ foster mom, told Eggleton, “You are no mother, you’re a monster.”
