Charles “Chuck” Cox

Who They Are

Their role later included caring for the boys under Washington’s child-protection arrangements. KIRO Newsradio: the Cox family’s advocacy; Ninth Circuit: the boys’ placement with their grandparents.

Court documents identify him as Charles Cox. He and Judy brought claims individually and as representatives of their grandsons’ estates. The legal record follows their effort to have the state’s handling of visitation examined in court.

Court rulings on the civil claims are judicial decisions. Keeping those sources distinct allows readers to understand both his personal role and the issues the courts actually decided.
