Brown is a former child advocate with the children's services agency within the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, Nessel said. She added that he was placed on unpaid leave in 2022 and has since been fired.

Police had said in that case that the longtime foster parents beat children with a boat oar, threw them down stairs, locked them in bedrooms for days, forced them to sleep in closets or on the laundry room floor, and withheld meals from them. The charges involved multiple children and stemmed from incidents that occurred as far back as 2014, officials said at the time.
