"A Cook County jury has awarded $45 million to the estate of a 2-year-old suburban Chicago boy who was beaten to death in 2011.
The estate of Lavandis Hudson sued Lutheran Social Services of Illinois, alleging the nonprofit should not have given the boy's mother, Marles Blackman, custody of him. Lavandis was taken into protective custody after his premature birth when cocaine was found in his system."
