In extremely disturbing news, AL.com is reporting that an Alabama mother filed a lawsuit yesterday after a former Child Protective Services employee allegedly threatened to take her children.
According to the lawsuit, one week after being assigned a particular case last summer, Brandon Howard Daniel, 29, showed up to the woman’s home to “inspect the house.” The lawsuit goes on to say that the following day, Daniel showed up again claiming that he needed to “inspect the bedroom.” He then allegedly demanded that the woman give him “something in return for not taking her kids.” The woman alleges that he then forced her to perform sexual acts on him.
In her suit, the woman names Daniel, his supervisor Rasheda Guley and director of the Shelby County Department Of Human Resources Office, Kim Mashego. She argues that Guley and Mashego “failed to properly hire, train and supervise” Daniel and “negligently and wantonly” allowed him to break the law while conducting DHR business.
Nearly one year prior to the filing of the lawsuit, Daniel was arrested and charged with soliciting for the purpose of influencing official action, indecent exposure, harassment and theft of property. He became employed with the agency just six months before his arrest. Daniel is currently out on $40,000 bond.
