Mother and child stayed with her as father already had planned to stay with a relative. It is reported and documented that father had his bags packed by the time LEA and CPS went to the home on October 8, 2015. We understand the safety plan was in place for less than a week as mother then moved back home with child and agreed to have friends check in on her. Parents were very cooperative and able to plan parenting time accordingly and were in the process of initiating divorce/custody proceedings. Our understanding is the father was never restricted from contact with the child by DHS—on the night of October 8, 2015 we understand Mr. Lasich stated he would stay away from his sister’s home until everything was sorted out.…
