Surely LE has BB's cell phone by now and has documentation of all (any !) calls to DV that night she returned to the airport.

My sneaking suspicion is that she knew full well he wasn't going to be at the airport, and why

@gitana1 if M is found deceased & someone was supposed to have M in their custody, but did not, can charges be levied against them?

I'm not sure. It depends I think whether there's a statute in Texas that allows charges for disobeying CPS orders they agreed to or whether allowing the child to be in the care of another somehow amounted to child neglect due to what the person knew.

Like if a mother knew her neighbor had molested kids and was on Megan's law list and allowed him to take her four year old who was thereafter raped and murdered,That would more than likely constitute child neglect. Reckless endangerment. Whatever law applies in the state.

And look at this! The example I gave is here at this link, with others:

Child Endangerment in Texas Laws - Easy Law Lookup

Bottom line is what the person knew.

They had probable cause (head injury) to suspect abuse. The children were given to a different relative during this time. Then the children were given back to parents.

I think whatever caused the injury is irrelevant. It just makes any potential abuse after the fact potentially that much more dangerous. I see no definite reason to throw shade at the mother's actions or decision making at this time. And I ask anyone posting about past incidents or abuse by DV that the mother should have been aware of to link them.

BBM - if it was my child, I would say it definitely is relevant! moo

On another note - I've seen a map but is there a more detailed map that shows their appt, the hospital, where he says he was jumped, the airport, and where the car was found?

All IMO

snipped for focus, there is a map within this thread probably several pages back, once located we can ask a mod to pin it in the OP when they have a minute

I think it's definitely bio dad instead of stepdad.

From this article:

Why CPS says Maleah Davis was pulled from her home last year

"Court documents said Maleah and her older brother were physically abused and neglected by Bowens and Davis In another section of the court documents, a doctor couldn't confirm whether Maleah's injuries were caused by abuse and Bowens was in parenting classes"

We've pointed out the meaning and intent of that filing ad nauseam. I'm going to quit trying to address the issue until the media gets it right.

I see the map by @mrsmmm but I cannot access it and I saw the other map but it does not contain the details. Is there another I'm missing?

I was referring to mrsmmm's map. Sorry you can't access it. Not sure why as it opens fine for me. It is very thorough and has all areas of interest, apt, airport, hospital, mall, etc on it.

I will try to check it out on my phone instead of my computer. Thanks
 
I've just been reading about depressive craniectomy, and the follow up craniotomy, and I am sadder than ever for her.
She had a major head injury where she was put under and a piece of her skull was removed, and she survived, and continued to survive for months - with a piece of her skull missing.
Then she goes back to surgery to have her skull flap replaced, and again, she survived.

And then... poof! She's gone. All that trauma and from the looks of it, she fought it out with a sweet smile on her face. And then some *expletives deleted* comes along and more likely than not, takes her out of the world.

It's heartbreaking. :(
