True Justice for Baby Atticus Medina

The Issue

Back in July 2021, I had a baby boy who we named Atticus. He was the best baby. He hardly cried, he liked being swaddled, he loved his pacifier, hated his feet not covered, and loved cuddling with basically anyone who held him. He is what I called a miracle baby. He was on earth for two short months before he gained his wings. He had just started smiling. On September 4th 2021, my son turned blue and went limp. He was with his father; who I had been on the phone with for five hours while I was doing DoorDash. His dad started screaming for to get to the house and I hung up and called 911 and he ran up stairs in a panic, and then his sister called 911. Paramedics got the scene and while I was on the phone with dispatch they kept me updated as much as they could. When I got to the house they were transporting my baby to the ambulance, and I collapsed. They would not let my kid's dad out of the house to get to me, they would not let either of us on the ambulance and had even originally told us the wrong a hospital, we were told we had to abide by all traffic laws even though the ambulance had our baby who wasn't breathing. A cop even kicked me at the house after i was on ground freaking out crying. The doctor finally came out and had brought us into the consultation room and had informed us our baby, was no longer with us, and she would not allow us to see him until the coroner made the decision. We waited what felt like hours to talk to the coroner hoping to see our baby, and he would not let us, he gave us absolutly no information about what happened other than there was no broken bones. He had to perform an autopsy. When I called my family to let them know our oldest would be staying with them until the next morning and that Atticus had passed away, my grandfather had immediataly jumped to my kid's father abusing him, even though I had not even told them what had happened. From the time the police walked in to the house, they had treated my kid's dad like he was guilty without talking to anyone. CPS had put a safety plan in place where our son could not be alone with his dad without even knowing what happened to our son. The police accused his dad before knowing any evidence, just because he was the last one with him, despite knowing I was on the phone with him for almost five hours. My family has been showing obvious signs of guilt since he passed away. One family member told me I needed tog et over his death two days before he passed away, they're lying about the last time they saw my son (and we now have evidence), my family is obsessed with inserting themselves and doing what they can to keep they eye off of them. The police have ignored this. They finished the autopsy and despite that some of the injuries were healing, a month later they arrested Christopher Medina. CPS and the police took advantage of the fact that at the time I was very vulnerable and very easily manipulated. CPS holds my son above my head saying that I cannot be protective without admitting that Christopher hurt our child even though he has not been convicted. They have twisted words to make things that I say go with what they want to hear and then reataliate when I try to correct it. They have lied to me about what was on the autopsy multiple times. My caseworker is extremely biased against my kids' dad and almost doesn't have a plan in place for him to know his son. She sabotages me when I don't do things she wants. 

 

What I want from this is for CPS to start setting reasonable goals for me to be able to have custody of my son back (as I did not hurt my kids, and there was absolutely no reason for me to not have custody of him) as well as for there to be an ACTUAL investigation into my family. They were abusive to me and my brother growing up. They are showing OBVIOUS signs of being guilty and it is being ignored and they are about to get away with murdering my baby. My two month old baby. Murdering baby Atticus. There was absolutely no reason when my son hardly cried and when he did, there was always a simple reason. My son deserves life and he got the ripped away from him.
