The mother of an Oak Hill girl who police say was tortured and killed while in the custody of her biological father has filed a federal civil lawsuit against West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources for her childâs 2018 death.
Fayetteville attorney Anthony Salvatore filed the suit in United States District Court for the District of Southern West Virginia on behalf of Janice Wriston, the mother of 8-year-old Raylee Browning. The suit alleges that West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources Child Protective Services (CPS) failed to adequately protect Raylee, even after teachers at a Nicholas County elementary school had notified CPS that Raylee was being battered in the home, and that the agency later falsified and withheld records to cover up their role in causing Rayleeâs death on Dec. 26, 2018.
