In California, a fatal crash left several members of a family headed by lesbian mothers dead when the family SUV veered off a cliff on the Pacific Coast Highway.
At least five members died, with authorities searching for three others. Among one of those three is 15-year-old Devonte Hart, whose photo crying into the arms of a police officer during a Portland, Oregon, protest of the police shooting of Michael Brown went viral.
Among those who died in the crash are the mothers of the family, Jennifer Jean Hart and Sarah Margaret Hart, both 38, and their foster children—Martin, 19, Abigail, 14, and Jeremiah, 14. Devonte, Hannah, 16, and Sierra, 12, were still missing as of March 30.
However, there are questions surrounding the circumstances surrounding the crash. Dana and Bruce DeKalb, neighbors of the Harts, recently called Child Protective Services complained that he was not being fed. The DeKalbs added that the Harts refused to open the door for CPS and left in the SUV the next morning. |
