Family members of Adrian Jones, the seven-year-old boy whose father and stepmother killed him and fed his remains to pigs, have filed a lawsuit against social workers they say should have removed him from a dangerous situation, according to multiple reports.
The lawsuit, filed against social workers from the Missouri Department of Social Services and the Kansas Department for Children and Families, alleges child welfare workers knew Adrian was being physically abused but didn’t remove him from his home and instead just documented the abuse, the Kansas City Star reports.
The lawsuit seeks $25 million in punitive damages, the Associated Press reports.

Amanda Holden was joined by two underwear-clad naturists from the UK's only nudist village on This Morning today (December 1).
"Goodness me," Holden began, before introducing the pair as widower George Tait and his neighbour Heather Jones, residents from the special community outside St Albans called Spielplatz.

The residents were on the show to promote the upcoming More4 documentary on their village - which became a nudist community back in 1929.
The TV presenter and breakfast show co-host asked the pair whether there was ever any embarrassment when they go naked.
"Not at all," Tait replied.
