Mom sues over baby's murder by custodial father (Lawrenceburg, Kentucky)

I posted on this case back on June 24. It regards dad TIMOTHY FRAZIER who conspired to strip the mother of custody, then killed their 21-month-old son and himself. Now Mom is filing a federal lawsuit against the City of Lawrenceburg, Kentucky and against the two police officers who took the child away from her. My heart goes out to the mom, and I hope she succeeds. This will be a case to watch.

Mother sues over baby's murder

The mother of a baby murdered by his father is now suing over his death.

Candice Dempsey filed a federal lawsuit Thursday morning against the city of Lawrenceburg and two police officers, Chris Atkins and Nathan Doty.

Dempsey says the officers took 21-month old Cole Frazier from her back in May and gave him to his father, Timothy Frazier. Frazier shot and killed the toddler and then committed suicide at his Nelson County home back in May.

Dempsey claims the officers didn't have authority to remove the baby from her custody. She says they took the baby because they didn't read an emergency protection order properly.
