DCF investigating child death in Sedgwick County | KSN.com | Wichita Kansas News and Weather
(Picture is in video)
[....]
Wichita police confirmed the investigation of the boy’s death at a South Broadway motel last Friday. The police report lists it as a dead body with no witnesses. Homicide investigators and the Exploited and Missing Child Unit was on the scene to investigate. Police are waiting on a toxicology report in the case.
One lawmaker is telling KSN that there are serious allegations. He says DCF had been involved with the family before the child’s death.

DCF statement to KSN:
The Kansas Department for Children and Families can confirm it is investigating the death of Zayden Jaynesahkluah. The agency was prohibited from commenting on the case until today when it became public knowledge, which triggered a provision in K.S.A 38-2212 that allows the agency to confirm its involvement. DCF opened the investigation immediately upon learning of the incident on May 31 and continues to work the case.
K.S.A 38 -2212 also allows for further information about the case to be released should DCF find that Zayden’s death was a result of abuse or neglect. It will take several weeks before the agency receives the information necessary to make a finding.
As with any case, DCF will do a thorough review of the incident to understand if any agency or contractor (St. Francis Ministries) policy or procedural issues need to be addressed. As an agency we must hold ourselves accountable.
