""This is the third child in the last couple years under the care and custody of the Department of Family and Children's Services who has been murdered. Enough. Enough. Change needs to come, and it needs to come fast, and it needs to happen now.""
"The teenage suspect's mother had been selected to be the foster parent for the toddler despite having a criminal record that included a conviction for felony child endangerment from a decade ago."
A teenager has been charged with murder and multiple counts of sexual assault in the death of his two-year-old cousin, Jaxon Rey Juarez. The Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office announced these charges, which may lead to the teen being tried as an adult. The case has drawn attention to the Department of Family and Children's Services, as this incident marks the third child murder under their care in recent years. The suspect's mother, a foster parent, had a prior felony child endangerment conviction.
