A Colorado County Agrees to a $6 Million Settlement Over a Toddler’s Death in Foster Care
Pueblo County Commissioners have agreed to a $6 million settlement with the family of Aiden Seeley, a 15-month-old toddler who died in September 2020 from injuries allegedly sustained from abuse while in foster care in a Pueblo West home.
The settlement, approved by the Board of County Commissioners on Jan. 27, states that Pueblo County disputes Aiden’s biological parents’ claims against the county in relation to his death, but agreed to settle out of court to avoid significantly higher litigation costs.
The settlement says “the release and settlement of all claims in this matter is in the best interest of Pueblo County and the parties involved.”
