Tyreek Hill's son, kidnapped chiefs, removed from his parents' custody

Tyreek Hill's three-year-old son, who was sentenced to justice, was recently handed over to Hill and the boy's mother, sources told The Star.

This development comes one month after the news that Overland Park police reportedly collected two reports in Johnson County, Johnson County, one for battery and the other for child abuse and neglect.

The police reports, dated March 5th and 14th, concerned a minor. It is not known when the boy was kidnapped or with whom he remains now.

The Kansas Department for Children and Families did not confirm that the child had been abducted. Federal and state laws prohibit the agency from talking about a particular case, a spokesman said.

Sources told The Star in recent weeks that Hill and his fiancée, Crystal Espinal, were working as part of a family court process called "case of children in need of care". The couple was at Johnson County Court House on Wednesday.

As a general rule, cases involving children in need of care concern the Department of Children and the Family and the High Court in cases where there are concerns about the family situation. A judge and lawyers representing the parents and the child discuss and make decisions about the safety and care of the child.

In some cases, a child may be removed from the house.

Earlier this week, when the players – including Hill – reported for the first day of off-season training, head coach Andy Reid said he had nothing to say about investigation involving Hill.

"I do not want to judge anything other than who's here and he's working," Reid said. "If there is something to comment on, we will always publish it for you. We do not hide it. "

The records obtained this week show that the NFL asked the Overland Park police on March 12 for documents asking for relevant information, including photos and 911 calls, about Hill, his fiancée and their young son, "in relationship with alleged injuries of the minor child ". On March 15, The Star published its first report on the investigation of child abuse in Hill.

Asked Thursday about Hill, general manager Brett Veach responded that there was not much to say.

"I think it will work here and we will process the information as we go along," Veach said. "As I said, there is nothing that I would probably be able to say now about it."

The Kansas Department of Children and Family announced last month that the agency had received a report and was conducting an investigation. Contacted earlier this week and asked if the agency had completed his investigation, a spokesman said that he could comment on the status of a child protection case.

Investigations involving Hill raise questions about the future of the extended receiver after the Kansas City Chiefs confirmed last month that they knew about the police investigation. Since being picked up by the team in the fifth round of the 2016 NFL Draft, Hill has become one of the Chiefs' – and the NFL's most prominent players, yet seems to have left his past behind. domestic violence.

Hill pleaded guilty in 2015 to domestic assault and strangulation and was sentenced to three years probation. He was arrested in December 2014 after assaulting Espinal, his now pregnant girlfriend, who was eight weeks pregnant at the time.

As part of the advocacy agreement, Hill was sentenced to attend 52 weeks of domestic violence prevention classes. He was also fined 500 dollars and restitution of court fees.

The conviction was quashed in August 2018 and he was ordered to cancel it after he had fulfilled the conditions of his probation.

Since then, Hill and Espinal have committed and share a home in Overland Park.

Hill told The Star at the January Pro Bowl in Orlando that Espinal was pregnant with twins.

The first new police report on Hill, in Overland Park, followed a March 5 investigation into allegations of child abuse or neglect.

The front page of this report – the only part available to the public – pointed to both Hill and Espinal as "other people involved". The location was indicated as their home.

The case was filed three days later when authorities refused to prosecute, according to the report. Police could again investigate the case, but a spokesman for the police department declined to say if that was the case.

Another police report was issued on March 14, when police investigated an alleged battery, also at Hill and Espinal's home.

In this case, it was not known when the incident would have occurred. The report lists a minor victim and Espinal, 24, under the heading "Others involved".

For several days after being made public, both police reports raised questions that were difficult to answer and created confusion when the first reports were published about the incident.

Under the Kansas Public Records Act, only the front page of a police report is generally available to the public. This includes the time, date, place and type of offense reported, but often nothing else. The names of the victims are often not disclosed.

The second page of an investigation report contains much more details – the names of the suspects, the type of evidence collected, the type of incident alleged to be produced – but the document says at the top "AN UNOPENED PUBLIC REGISTRATION" and is rarely seen by the public.

The Overland Park police completed their investigation several weeks ago and sent the case back to the Johnson County Attorney's Office. This report contained information from the DCF survey.

No details were released on exactly what was reported to the Kansas Child Protection Agency and what was included in the survey.

The DCF investigation has a purpose different from that of the police. For law enforcement, the goal is to determine if any state laws have been violated. But for DCF, the focus is on the child and the family.

In such cases, where an investigation has been opened, the first objective is to make sure that the child is in a safe environment. Once this is secure, the agency determines the services that the family may need to ensure that the child is protected and in a strong environment.

When DCF investigators determine whether the allegation is true, workers determine what is best for the child and if other services are needed.
