DE: 2 families file lawsuits against Nemours claiming they were wrongfully reported to DFS over suspected child abuse
WDEL – July 01, 2021
Within the hour of his little girl’s death, the cause unknown to him, Watson said he was being interrogated. “Instead of being told what happened and why, he was escorted into an interrogation room, where he was interrogated by police, by the Department of Family Services, by the staff at Nemours for four hours,” said his attorney Renée J. Leverette. Leverette said police swarmed a relative’s home, where Watson’s other children were staying and took them away for a month-and-a-half. Watson was ultimately cleared of any wrongdoing by DFS, according to his attorney, and now he and one other family are claiming their being reported to Family Services was racially motivated. Watson filed his lawsuit on June 29, 2021.
