Foster Parents Arrested In Missing Boy's Death
LAST UPDATE: 8/28/2006 5:50:37 PM
CINCINNATI (AP) - The foster parents of a missing 3-year-old developmentally disabled boy were charged Monday with involuntary manslaughter in his death. Liz and David Carroll Jr. are accused of leaving Marcus Fiesel in a closet in their Clermont County home just east of Cincinnati while they went to a family reunion in Kentucky on Aug. 4, said Hamilton County prosecutor Joe Deters. Investigators believe the boy was dead when the couple returned home two days later, Deters said.
David and Liz Carroll
The couple reported the boy missing from a Hamilton County park Aug. 15. A Hamilton County grand jury indicted the Carrolls on charges of involuntary manslaughter and endangering children, and David Carroll was charged with gross abuse of a corpse. David Carroll took the boy's body to rural Brown County and burned it, Deters said.
The boy's disappearance triggered an intensive search that brought hundreds of volunteers. Liz Carroll had told authorities that Marcus wandered away from her in a suburban park after she passed out because of a heart condition. The search, using helicopters and sophisticated high-tech equipment along with hundreds of volunteers, initially focused on a 5-square-mile area of Juilfs Park in Anderson Township. It was later expanded to other nearby wooded areas and waterways with searchers combing the areas at least five times, according to the Hamilton County sheriff's department.

the moral here is:
1. There are a lot of sucky parents (foster or otherwise), and
2. AFAIK, most developmentally disabled people are treated like shit. In some enlightened first world countries maybe not, but even in the USA there is a major prejudice against them and a habit of seeing them as sub-humans - as far as I'm concerned, gays have NOTHING on autists.

what REALLY makes me mad is... INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER? did they not think that by locking the poor kid in a hot closet with no food, water, or even a bathroom SOMETHING BAD MIGHT HAPPEN TO HIM? and they couldn't even fucking own up to it, THEY BURNED HIS BODY TO TRY AND HIDE THE EVIDENCE.
and they're being charged with INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER?
what about CHILD ABUSE? what about OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE? what about FALSE IMPRISONMENT? what about GROSS ABUSE OF A CORPSE?
the judge should throw the book at these two.
and where was the fucking CASEWORKER? bitch wasn't doing her JOB. she showed up about a week before the kid's supposed "disappearance" and asked to see him, but was stopped at the door and was told he was "sick". if i were a caseworker i'd immediately be suspicious.
jesus christ. poor kid didn't even have a chance. they GAVE him to the foster parents because his mother was negligent. but kids like him are hard to handle, even if he's the only kid, but they gave him to a foster family with three other kids to take care of. CPS should have KNOWN this would happen.

Would it not be prudent to wait for a conviction before we go all moral high horse?

your point? a kid is DEAD and the foster parents are at fault.
"moral high horse", my ass.

your point?
My point is that perhaps we should wait until someone is convicted in a court of law before we start apportioning blame.
Actually, I think perhaps you know what my point is, and you just want an excuse to rant and rave and froth at the mouth. In which case - carry on! :thumb:

i place the biggest blame on child protective services for placing the kid, a behaviour problem, in a foster family where the father had been arrested for domestic violence in the past and the mother had heart trouble. what the hell were they thinking? their stupidity cost that poor kid his life.

Dood, it's not like we haven't got plenty of other tards who can step up and fill the void.
