Two Forney residents face grave child endangerment charges

Forney, Texas - Authorities in Forney have arrested two individuals, James Richard II and Syasandrea Conroy, on grave charges related to child endangerment.

These offenses are categorized as first-degree felonies within the legal framework of Texas. The apprehensions took place on Friday, September 8, subsequent to a thorough inquiry spearheaded by the Forney Police Department.

The matter was brought to attention when an urgent call summoned police to an elementary school within the Forney Independent School District. This call was initiated due to a student manifesting significant injuries that necessitated immediate intervention.

Upon their timely arrival at the educational institution, the officers promptly discerned the critical nature of the student's injuries and summoned immediate medical assistance. The student was subsequently transferred to a nearby medical institution for detailed examination and medical care.

In the interim, prioritizing the welfare of the injured student and their sibling, the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services provisionally assumed guardianship of the two. This decisive action was imperative to shield them from potential harm.

Post-investigation, authorities executed a search warrant at the residence of the accused, unearthing conclusive evidence. Consequently, both Richard and Conroy were arrested and incarcerated on the grounds of causing injury to a child, an offense bearing weighty legal implications.

The Forney Police Department conveyed its appreciation to the staff of Forney ISD, the Department of Family and Protective Services, and the medical team for their exemplary role in tending to the injured student's urgent needs.

"The safety and security of children are of the utmost importance, we ask the community to please come forward and report if you suspect abuse of any kind," articulated the department's official communique.

The investigation remains in progress, and as per police sources, additional charges might be imposed.
