The homeschooling parents of a young boy who was wrongfully removed from his home in 2019 have finally been dropped from Texas’ registry of “child abusers,” officially closing the high-profile case.
According to reports, Ashley and Daniel Pardo were removed from the list this week one year after Child Protective Services dropped its five-monthslong case against the parents.
In a statement, Tim Lambert, president of the Texas Homeschool Coalition, applauded the move.
“CPS protects thousands of children every year, but they didn’t protect the Pardo family or Drake; they traumatized them. It is unconscionable that the agency would drop all charges against the family but then keep the family on the Child Abuse Registry anyway, Lambert said.
