Cps Arizona
The unthinkable happened to a family in Arizona. Their three-year-old daughter mysteriously collapsed while her parents were away from home, and she died shortly after. As horrible as that tragedy was, Khloe's death was only the beginning of the devastation to the Shoars family. Child Protective Services immediately came in and took away all seven of their other children, placing them in various foster home settings around the area.
The children now don't have their parents, or even each other, as they try to grasp what has happened to their sister. None of the children, ranging in age from 2 to 9 years old, have been placed with family or friends, and they cry to come home. They don't understand what has happened, and neither do their parents, Jeff and Tabitha Shoars.
"It's like a bad nightmare you can't wake up from," says Jeff.
No charges have been filed against anyone, yet the state of Arizona has already begun the TPR process, Termination of Parental Rights.
Khloe's Story: Beautiful Daughter Born in Troubled Circumstances
Khloe has been described a "bubbly, bouncy, giggly" little girl who was a huge blessing to her family. Jeff says that this is "way too soon for her to be out of our lives."
The doctors allegedly told the Shoars that she would grow out of the brain hemorrhage condition, and despite Tabitha's requests, no further testing was ever done on Khloe to monitor the situation. Like the rest of the Shoars children, Khloe was fully vaccinated, and always got the annual flu shot.
Jeff Shoar vowed to always protect Khloe
A Family that Loved Her
Khloe captured the hearts of her family from the very beginning. Even though she was conceived from assault, Jeff says that he "always considered her mine," and he vowed to always protect her. According to Tabitha, "she came from a bad situation, but she is our blessing."
When the Shoars learned Tabitha's attackers were about to be released from prison, they decided to move cross-country in March 2014, settling in Avondale, Arizona, a city just outside of Phoenix. Leaving the fears for their safety behind, they found that life was going well for the big family with lots of kids, until that one horrible night in August.
These are the pieces that Tabitha and Jeff have been able to put together of the events that occurred.
A Terrible Accident
On the afternoon of August 14, Jeff and Tabitha left together at about 3:30 pm, leaving their children in the care of a babysitter whom they trusted. The young man, in his twenties, has been described as being "like a big brother to the kids," and he had a history of playing with and caring for the children, both with and without the parents' supervision.
She didn't have much of an appetite for dinner that night,
although her family reports that she usually eats seconds. After dinner the kids were playing outside, and Khloe fell and hit her head on the ground. Her siblings and the babysitter found no mark or bump. She went to bed early, which her mother says is what she would do whenever she had a headache. Tabitha also reports that she had a headache a few days before, but they thought nothing of it, since it went away.
After Khloe went to sleep that night, she woke up with a high-pitched scream, then she was crying. The babysitter ran in to her to see what was wrong. He says that he thought at the time that she must have had a nightmare.
Jeff and Tabitha were about 45 minutes away in a Phoenix suburb when they got word that their baby had collapsed. By the time the frantic parents got home, there was police tape surrounding their house. Tabitha was directed to go to the Phoenix Children's Hospital, and Jeff stayed behind to check on the other kids and talk to the officials at their home.
