The Kentucky Foster Care Death of 7YO Ja'Ceon Terry | CPS Has Failed Again!!!
The death of a 7-year-old boy at a Kentucky children's residential center has been ruled a homicide by a medical examiner, and two workers at the center have been fired.
The Jefferson County Coroner's Office determined Ja'Ceon Terry died July 17 of "positional asphyxia," meaning his body position left him unable to breathe. It provided no further details other than that the child was pronounced dead at a hospital.
At the time he died, Ja'Ceon was under the care of workers at Brooklawn, a children's treatment center in Louisville. The facility provides care for "Kentucky’s most vulnerable youth and their families," offering therapeutic foster care to children recovering from the effects of abuse and neglect, its website states.
As of Monday no charges had been filed in the case.
