The complaint, filed by attorney Molly Ebraheim, alleges that the group home failed to exercise reasonable care for Bailey’s safety. As a child in the legal custody of the county, Bailey was supposed to be under constant adult supervision. Instead, he managed to leave the residential facility unnoticed on October 6, 2025, leading to the fatal collision.

Lawsuit Filed After 11-Year-Old Dies Following Group Home Escape
Nearly four miles from the Turning Point Residential Services group home, 11-year-old De'Vonte Bailey was struck by a car and killed while riding his bicycle in the dark. Now, the law firm Nurenberg, Paris, Heller & McCarthy is suing the facility and Lucas County Children Services over the child’s death.
Ebraheim argues the tragedy represents a fundamental failure of the facility's primary duty to protect its residents. The lawsuit names the facility, Lucas County Children Services, and owner-operator Takeyla Brown as defendants. Beyond seeking accountability for the specific circumstances surrounding Bailey’s death, the legal action aims to uncover systemic lapses within the home to prevent future incidents involving children under county care.
