CIR case finder
Query: Child Protection Law cases
Camreta v. Greene
Amicus brief filed supporting the mother of a child who was seized at school without parental consent in a suit against a social worker and county sheriff.
Status: Vacated and remanded. The case was moot because the child was nearly 18 and had moved, and the appropriate disposition was to vacate the part of the court of appeals' opinion that addressed the Fourth Amendment issue.
Department of Human Services re Zoey and Lyric Mays v. Phillips
CIR filed an amicus brief on behalf of Wali Phillips, a Michigan father whose parental rights were terminated without any finding that he was an unfit parent.
Status: Pending. The Michigan Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in October 2011.
Mueller v. Auker, et al.
Challenged the lack of constitutional protections in Idaho child protective laws for parents to direct the medical treatment of their minor children.
Status: Pending. Prior to trial, the state defendants settled. At the conclusion of the trial, the jury rendered a verdict in favor of the remaining defendants. CIR's appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit is pending.
Raykin v. Arapahoe County Department of Human Services et al.
CIR sued the Arapahoe County Department of Human Services and several employees when they seized Joshua Raykin and kept him from his family for over a week based on unsubstantiated abuse claims.
Status: Victory. Shortly after filing suit, county officials agreed to settle the case on terms favorable to the Raykins.
