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.

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.
