Melissa and Dillon Bright were temporarily separated from their two young children after doctors raised concerns of abuse.
Child Protective Services, a division of the Texas agency, opened its investigation into the Brights in July 2018, after their son Mason, then 5 months old, fell from a lawn chair in the driveway at their home in Tomball, Texas. A child abuse pediatrician at Texas Children’s Hospital reported that Mason’s injuries — two skull fractures and brain bleeding — did not match his parents’ account of what happened and were “consistent with abuse.
The next time the Brights saw their children, a few days later, Charlotte had a gash on her face and a black eye, and Mason’s cries were hoarse.A few weeks later, a Harris County judge ordered the children returned to the Brights and rebuked Child Protective Services for needlessly traumatizing the family despite having “no credible evidence” of abuse. The judge also ordered the agency to retrain its investigators and pay $127,000 in sanctions to cover the Brights’ legal fees.
