Cardenas Family, Investigators Still Looking for Answers

Dear Fellow Wesley Parents,

Many of us have been sitting on the sidelines, grieving for the Cardenas family, frustrated with the silence, and wondering what we can do to help. As of July 26, officially, . I mean or from DCFS.  

Also, as many of you are aware, . This investigation is centered on the drowning and investigators are directing their attention to only those involved (employees, witnesses, etc).

Many Wesley parents have had their own experiences with the center and those interactions will never be made part of the investigation unless you share them.  

Here’s how you can help:

DCFS (Department of Children and Family Services) is trying to piece together a picture of Wesley Child Care Center but is unable to get any straight information directly from the center. This process is done through attorneys and can take a long time.

These questions from investigators are direct and are meant to answer, mainly, the question of what caused the accident but not necessarily what may have led up to the lack of supervision of this child.  Therefore, it is up to us to provide any/all of the other information necessary to help authorities create an honest picture of how Wesley Child Care was operating its facility and caring for the children leading up to the accident.

I know many of you have encountered a situation with the Wesley center, a question of policy, a preventable injury to your child, a lapse in communication etc. This is the type of information needed.

Please call Carolina Bono (DCFS) at 312-636-3178 or carolina.bono@illinois.gov with any information.  What you might think is inconsequential may be vital in helping piece together a larger picture of Wesley Child Care.

Thank you, 

A Wesley parent
