There is new information in a case of deadly child abuse.
The mother of ten-year-old Seth Ireland and her boyfriend apparently tried to take him in for psychiatric help but were turned away.
The attorney for LeBaron Vaughn says Vaughn and Seth's mother, Rena Ireland, took Seth to CCAIR just one day before Vaughn is accused of beating Seth to death.
Children’s Crisis Assessment Intervention Resolution Center (CCAIR) is a 24-hour emergency clinic run by Child Protective Services. CPS has been under fire in the Seth Ireland case because they received reports about Seth’s abuse and they admit they did let it slip through the cracks.
Attorneys for both plaintiffs in the case say they tried to seek help and were turned away before Seth Ireland was beaten to death. The information could be used to decrease the murder charges to manslaughter.
Seth Ireland was at Children's Hospital for ten days before he eventually died of his injuries.
