POINT PLEASANT — The ongoing case of Cameron Moffett allegedly abusing 11-year old Zachary Plants continues and another suit is now involved, this time against the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR).
Attorney Mike Clifford, who is representing the Plants family in a federal lawsuit against Moffett and the Mason County School Board, stated on behalf of the family that a protest and grievance has been filed against the DHHR. This suit is in response to a leaked investigative report from the DHHR claiming there was not sufficient evidence to convict Moffett of child abuse. The report surfaced on several media outlets out of Charleston and described Plants’ version of the incident, as well as the statements from the teachers who witnessed the alleged abuse and statements from Superintendent Suzanne Dickens. It was reported this report was not to be made public.
