Psychiatric crime case story - Isaiah

April 29th, 2008

Fortunately Isaiah was saved from their bloody hands…

Isaiah, now 11, was born with life-threatening breathing problems and forced to endure frightening hospital stays as an infant and young child. He needed a tracheotomy as a baby and wasn’t able to cry or speak until the breathing tube was removed.

His mother, Cheryll, believes the trauma he endured during that time caused his emotional problems. He started attacking family members and teachers, and his mother was unable to control him. Unable to pay for a residential program she thought he needed, Sherill temporarily gave up custody of Isaiah to the state. The Department of Children and Families sent Isaiah to a foster home, and then to a psychiatric institution. Isaiah’s mother later repeatedly voiced concerns about her son’s treatment at the center, which she believed reminded him of his frightening hospital stays as a young child.

When a DCF worker asked Isaiah how he got 11 bruises on his arms and legs, he told her that “some are from playing outside, and some are from being taken down,” according to state documents. Workers at the center for emotionally disturbed children in Tequesta forced Isaiah into full-body restraints, put him in isolation for excessive periods of time and left him lying in his own vomit after he misbehaved, according to the suit.

The Palm Beach Post published a story about Isaiah’s treatment at the center in 2003 after obtaining documents that showed the first-grader had been injected with Haldol, a powerful drug meant for adults with schizophrenia.

The mother filed a suit. A judge in Martin County Circuit Court approved a settlement April 2, 2008. Though the amount of the settlement is confidential, Isaiah’s mother’s attorney said, “it’s a good sum of money and I hope it helps Isaiah.”
