A lawsuit accuses Orange County and the city of Anaheim of failing to intervene to stop the abuse of two young girls by their father and stepmother.
Domingo Flores laughed when Anaheim police officers visited his apartment to check on his 10-year-old daughter. The officers didn't know it, but the girl was zip-tied to a bed in a back room at the time, according to the Orange County district attorney's office. For years, the girl's father and stepmother, Mayra Chavez, tortured the girl and her older sister, authorities said.
's office asked the juvenile court to remove the girls from their father's home due to the allegations of ongoing abuse, according to the lawsuit. But county employees ultimately decided to return the girls to their father's custody and asked to dismiss the D.A.'s request, Perez said. This decision was made even after the girls elaborated on the abuse they endured in their father's home, according to the lawsuit.
