Vincent Amos Elroy

Born February 19th, 20XX. (Age 12)

Child was surrendered into GCPS custody at Madison Avenue Hospital, 4:58 am. Parents forfeited all parental rights and guardianship of the child. Parents requested to remain anonymous and denied providing contact information. Relevant medical histories were taken from both parents and a name was given before the child was taken into GCPS custody and entered into the foster system.

Child was placed into the care of John SCHMITT and Kathryn SCHMITT from ages 0-3. SCHMITT family was unable to continue fostering the child due to hospitalisation and financial difficulties. GCPS was contacted and the child was taken back into custody.

Child was placed into the care of Patrick DUNN and Samantha DUNN from ages 3-5. DUNN family was unable to continue fostering due to concerns regarding the child’s safety*. GCPS was contacted and the child was taken back into custody.

Child was placed into the care of Ginger LAPROS and Tracy BLAKE from ages 5-6. LAPROS and BLAKE were unable to continue fostering the child after several reports were filed against them by neighbours concerned with how they acted around the child**. Despite nothing substantial being found upon investigation of the claims, the child was taken into custody due to the sheer amount of reports after much deliberation within GCPS.

Child was placed into the care of Neil GREEN and Maria GREEN from ages 6-8. GREEN family was unable to continue fostering due to court order***. However GCPS was unable to take the child into custody at the time due to the location of the child being unknown.

GCPS and GCPD worked together to track down the child, finally finding him and taking him back into custody after three (3) years at age 11. The child claims he had run away and begun living on the streets of Gotham, frequenting Crime Alley to avoid being found by GCPS and GCPD.

Child was placed into the care of Jacob WESKER and Naomi WESKER at age 11 and has remained under their care since. WESKER family runs a group home that houses nine (9) other foster children.

* Samantha DUNN was reported to have been neglectful and was documented striking the child on several occasions. Reports were filed but no further action was taken against the family other than the removal of the child from their care.

** Ginger LAPROS and Tracey BLAKE were discovered to be in a same-sex relationship. While there was no law at the time of the placement preventing same-sex couples of fostering/adopting, GCPS case workers may have let biases and prejudice impact their decisions.

*** Maria GREEN was sentenced to life imprisonment after being found guilty of murdering her husband of seven years, Neil GREEN on September 15th. The child witnessed the act and was able to give a detailed account of the crime once located and taken into custody. Further appointments with the resident GCPS psychiatrist has been advised. Refer to legal case no. 091521 for eyewitness account.

[Recording Started]

“So uh, I just speak into this thing?? An it’s recording, right?? Oh, okay…”

“So, um, on… on that day, I was out parkourin with my friends, they were showin me some new spots they’d found that were outta the way n looked fun.”

“I was gone from the house all mornin and afternoon, coz, like, home wasn’t nice anymore. Ms Maria n Mr Neil were fightin all the time, always yellin about this n that. Well- Mr Neil kinda just sat there mostly n let Ms Maria scream at him… she was crazy or somethin, sayin Mr Neil was doin evil things behind her back n stuff like that…”

“Well, I come home n try to open the front door, but it won’t budge. I bang on the door a bit but no one answers n I can hear yellin through the walls. So I climbed up the drainpipe to my window, which I always leave unlocked for an easy escape, and climb through.”

“The screamin was pretty loud n I didn’t wanna get caught in the crossfire, so I snuck downstairs towards the kitchen where the voices were comin from…”

“I-… I saw Ms Maria and Mr Neil arguin, Ms Maria had her back to me n Mr Neil was cornered by the fridge. He saw me over her shoulder n shooed me away… I didn’t move… I was frozen, I couldn’t lift my legs. All coz I saw Ms Maria had a knife in her hands, one of the big ones that chefs use??”

“She was wavin her hands around n pacin in front of Mr Neil, rantin about how she ‘knows that ya cheatin on me with a young whore’. Mr Neil kept saying it wasn’t true and t’put the knife down…”

“… An then she stabbed him. She stabbed his shoulder first, Mr Neil’s eyes went real wide n he looked like he couldn’t believe she’d done it.”

“Then she stabbed him again, in the chest near his heart… he looked like it hurt a lot…”

“…An- an then she stabbed him over n over in the stomach… he looked scared…”

“He went all white n his eyes went foggy… then he dropped. He twitched a little n then… then he didn’t move anymore…”

“Ms Maria looked at me, n she looked… scary. Her face was just- blank. When she took a step towards me, my legs finally moved. I ran out of the room n back up the stairs. I grabbed my bag n jumped out the window, I didn’t even look behind me t’see if she was followin…”

“…I didn’t stop runnin till I was about eight blocks away… I- I didn’t know what to do… I saw Mr Neil get stabbed n I didn’t do anythin to help. I was frozen… I let him die in front of me…”

“I dunno… I guess I thought I was basically a murderer, or that Ms Maria would lie n say I did it n that no one would believe me… I dunno why I kept runnin but I did…”

“…”

“That’s… that’s all I remember… ca- can I go now??”
