Chayce Allen, 3, suffered extreme trauma at the hands of his mother before he was found dead in a broken basement freezer in 2022.
His father, Juwan Allen, says Michigan’s Child Protective Services failed him by repeatedly returning him to an abusive household, despite clear signs of harm, according to a lawsuit filed last month against 13 state CPS workers
Chayce and his siblings were initially removed from their mother, Azuradee France, in December 2018, following allegations of abuse. The children had physical injuries and their home had a rat infestation, evident by holes chewed through the children’s playpen
Police were called to do a welfare check on June 24, 2022 when they found his “barely recognizable” body in a broken freezer.
France, 33, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in July 2024, shortly before she was set for trial. She is serving a 35-to-60-year prison sentence.

"This case involves egregious failure to protect a vulnerable child," said attorney A. Vince Colella of Moss & Colella. "Despite multiple interventions where CPS workers personally observed severe injuries to Chayce, including bruised ribs, burns, and trauma that left him permanently blind, they repeatedly returned him to an environment where they knew he was in danger."
