I don't have information on today's hearing but I did find a site where I could read the doc for the wrongful death lawsuit brought by the father. In part:

20. On December 3, 2018, Langdon called her Church and falsely alleged that her son Jayden had threatened to shoot up a school. TCSD investigated this false report. On December 4, 2018, Jose called 911 and asked for someone to get professional mental help for Langdon because she was acting crazy. TCSD responded. Although the TCSD promised to get professional help for Langdon, it broke this promise.

21. By December 5, 2018, TCSD had overwhelming evidence that Langdon was in a mental crisis and Langdon had agreed to go to the hospital. State law and County policy required TCSD to take Langdon in for evaluation at a mental health clinic, either voluntarily as she requested or involuntarily under Welfare and Institutions Code (“WIC”) 5150.

22. TCSD policy also required the deputies to give custody of the babies to Jose, who begged the TCSD deputies to let him have his children. The TCSD deputies knew or should have known that Langdon had prior convictions for willful child cruelty and should not have let her keep custody of the children in her current mental state. Instead the TCSD deputies told Jose to stay away from his children and prevented Jose from helping Langdon or protecting the twins.
...
28. Less than 40 minutes later, Lighthouse called TPD again to remove Langdon and the babies because of Langdon’s continuing bizarre behavior. TPD Sgt. Garcia also responded on this second call and called the Child Welfare Services (CWS) Hotline. According to CWS, TPD Sgt. Garcia falsely said Langdon had been taken to a hospital for a mental evaluation and denied. In fact, Langdon had asked TPD to take her to the hospital.

Much more at the link. It's pretty clear Langdon was having a mental break of some sort and she did reach out for help. IMO this may very well be a case of postpartum depression/psychosis as y'all are suggesting.

Ok *this* is frustrating. She tried, multiple times, to get help.

She reached out on FB, she reached out to her church, the babies' father tried to remove them from her care - it feels like they were thwarted/ignored at every turn.

IMO Lighthouse, CWS, and TCSD shoulder some responsibility here.

Since she is no longer in the jail site - was wondering if there might be an update on the court site yet?
TIA! :)

I looked it up. Nothing since the status conference on 1/8 which was heard re a “progress report and a 12/8 CDC letter.” It then says that “orders made” but doesn’t say what the orders are. There are no new hearings scheduled. The 12/8 CDC letter shows as “correspondence DHS review” in the document section of the docket. It’s probably a review of her mental status to date. She’s probably in a department of corrections mental facility.

Thanks Suglo! Yes, I'm gathering she is in a mental ward. And I'll check back in at the end of the week - I'll be gone all week - surgery (on carotid artery) on Wed. & won't be home until Friday probably....

@MsMarple - have a note to check with you on maybe having the next court hearing - or was she sent to a mental place?

Surgery went smoothly - and I'm feeling GREAT! :)

I'm so glad to hear that your done with your surgery!

The court site hasn't been updated so no news on what's happening. A Google search turned up no news either. She does seem to be listed on a site called Hot Convicts however. :eek:

LOL! Hot Convicts??!! o_O never heard of that one. Can't access the link you provided though....
 
  • #93
The link is to the court site, not Hot Convicts - I wouldn't do that to you, lol! Amazing what people find sexy, eh?

@MsMarple - any updates in the court site yet?

Is it DSH instead of DHS? There are 5 hospitals in the California Department of State Hospitals (DSH) - Atascadero (all male), Coalinga (violent sex offenders); Metropolitan, Patton, and Napa can take females and males; Patton population is about 20% female. All of them seem to take Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity PC1026 patients.

Here is a link to Patton if it helps:
