Mother sues city over daughter's fall after release
A California mother filed a $100 million federal lawsuit against Chicago and unnamed officers alleging deliberate disregard for her mentally ill daughter's needs after she was released from police custody shortly before she plunged seven stories from a Robert Taylor Homes window. The 21 year old remains in critical condition with brain trauma and paralysis. The suit claims police failed to arrange psychiatric care and released her into an unfamiliar, dangerous area.
