About this listen

When 911 operators in Liberty Township picked up the call on April 25, 2024, they heard the frantic voice of someone begging for help. A ten-year-old boy lay unresponsive, and nothing paramedics tried could bring him back.

His name was Dakota Levi Stevens. He was bright, affectionate, and only ten years old — a foster child who had already lived through more than most adults ever will. But what unfolded inside the home where he’d been placed just weeks earlier would leave his family shattered, investigators horrified, and the foster care system facing questions yet again.

This is the case of a little boy who slipped through every safety net — and paid the price with his life.
