Officers were sent to check on a missing juvenile reported by Cleveland police. The child was believed to be at a grandmother’s home on Macomb Avenue. The juvenile has developmental delays and had not yet been entered as missing in the system when officers began checking. The child reported possible domestic violence at home, so officers arranged for her to go to Marymount for evaluation and for Cleveland officers to speak with her there. At the house on Macomb, officers spoke with the grandmother, who reported that school was canceled, the child takes medication, and the child had jumped from an upstairs window, which could explain the bruising. The grandmother stated there was no domestic violence, though the child said they had been “tussling” a little. The incident involves a welfare check on the juvenile, conflicting accounts about how the injuries occurred, and coordination between local and Cleveland officers.
