The docs say something like, if EG uses again, it will be viewed by the court as a choice she is making to not parent her children. Could that be the "new information" that came up during the investigation to land her in jail for endangering two children. Maybe she'd already admitted to being an occasional user and LE wasn't really viewing it as criminal use until that past surfaced?
It seems like those docs were the first real proof here on Websleuths that EG had been abusive/neglectful toward her other kids. As opposed to just speculation on her relationship with them. But I could be missing a lot.
The Dad is a victim per TOS. But discussing (new?) facts from MSM....these docs point to the fact that EG was actively fighting in court to be allowed unsupervised time with her biological children. Either he knew that he was leaving his child with a woman who was not allowed unsupervised time with her own biological children or she was pulling the wool over his eyes about that in a BIG way. Maaaybe he didn't know why exactly she had to be supervised and believed she'd been scammed in the past by a vindictive ex, but then when your own family raises the question of abuse, how do you ignore the supervised visits any longer? It really seems that he had to know and that seems like endangerment to me, to leave your child with a known abuser.
Am I right that his family called CPS in their own state, but EGs case was a different state? That state might not currently have the ability to "see" that EG was deemed unfit in another state. If they had been privy to that info (like Dad seems to have been, but I doubt his extended family was), it could have completely changed the outcome.
I hope this case can provoke change in the system to cross check abuse and neglect across state/county lines. With CPS operating on the county/state level, it seems to me, too many abusers can take advantage of a new start in a new state. It is true of many criminals, it seems, and I'm not sure of the answer at all. But for the kids...we need a national database, a federal tracking system, something.
Unfortunately, even that won't stop all of the evil, but it could be a small, achievable goal to strive for in honor of the unnecessary suffering Lucas has been through. Please come home safe, little one, so you can help champion the bill through in privacy from the safe loving arms of FLA and the rest of your family.

. I worry so much he will be like other missing children and never found. I pray that is not the case.
