"The city ripped a delusional 13-year-old NYC girl from her family, then failed to monitor the troubled child as she repeatedly fled her foster homes - until she finally committed suicide by jumping off the Brooklyn Bridge.

"Over the course of ACS's 20-month assault on the Nimmo family, the Nimmos lost their home, their jobs, and their 13-year-old daughter. They will never recover. A year after Jade's stunning suicide in January 2023, a bumbling case worker made an unannounced visit to the family's Brooklyn home and obliviously asked if Jade was "out for the moment," the 35-year-old mom said in the litigation. The mother "had nightmares and panic attacks about this cruel interaction for weeks.""
