A Colorado County Awards $6 Million to the Family of a Child Who Died in Foster Care
Officials with Pueblo County announced on Monday that they will award the family of Aiden Seeley with a $6 million settlement.
Seeley died as a result of brain bleeding and spinal damage in 2020 while he was in foster care. The boy was just 15 months old. Some of the settlement will be awarded to Seeley’s biological parents, but the majority will be placed into a trust for Seeley’s two siblings to help them overcome the injuries and trauma they suffered while they were in foster care with Seeley.
Both foster parents are facing legal consequences. Dacey Spinuzzi pleaded guilty to accessory charges and will spend 12 years in prison. Ramondo Jones is scheduled to have a plea hearing on April 26.
