$17 million wrongful death lawsuit refiled on behalf Charlee Ford
ROCKBRIDGE COUNTY, Va.- - A $17 million dollar wrongful death lawsuit has been refiled on behalf of a Rockbridge County 4-month-old girl, blaming a local social services department for her death. The new lawsuit still lists both parents of Charlee Ford along with the local social services department, other employees and the board of directors as the remaining defendants. The 15-page lawsuit also names Mark Reed as the new administrator of the estate of Charlee Ford. Every time we get closer to the truth and finding out the answers and exactly what happened, something happens to throw the whole thing off again and we get further away from the truth," Ford said. The chairman for the Rockbridge Area Department of Social Services board of directors said there is no comment at this time.
