Court Tackles Town's Role in Child Safety

3 Daughters Died When Colorado Police Refused to Arrest Banned Father

Jessica Gonzales called the police as soon as she realized that her three daughters were missing on a June evening in 1999.

 

Naming her estranged husband, Simon Gonzales, as the girls' probable abductor, she told the local Castle Rock, Colo., police that they should immediately arrest him because a court order barred him from seeing the children without her permission.

 

Despite her repeated pleas, Gonzales says, the police took no action, telling her that there was nothing they could do, or that she should simply wait.

 

Shortly after 3 o'clock the next morning, Simon Gonzales drove up to the police station and opened fire with a handgun; the police shot back, killing him. Inside his truck, officers discovered the bodies of the three children.

 

Grieving and furious at what she saw as a fatal brush-off from Castle Rock's police, Jessica Gonzales sued the town in federal court.
