Everyone Knew Toddler Was Being Hurt but CPS Kept Sending Him Back then He Died | Amanda Maison
A three-year-old boy didn’t move when his grandparents tried to wake him up.
By the time police arrived, it was clear he hadn’t simply died in his sleep.
Matthew Maison’s death exposed years of ignored warnings, repeated reports to CPS, and a system that kept returning him to the same home despite visible injuries and escalating abuse.
This episode follows what happened to Matthew, the adults, like his mother Amanda Maison, who were supposed to protect him, and the seven-year fight that finally led to murder charges.
Plus stick around for the aftershow with the case of Jonathan Schmitz.
