More model parents

Foster parents locked their three-year-old in a closet for two days to attend a family reunion. Unspeakable horror in Ohio -- the little boy died and the foster dad burned the body to cover up the crime -- after sending police on a massive manhunt to find the "missing" child.

Goofy Ass Chick describes the heartbreaking, enraging events. A snippet:

But then I watched Liz and David Carroll Jr. live right on Local 12 giving an interview to Deborah Dixon crying her eyes out and pleading to everyone. She seemed sooo convincing! (Looking at this video now makes me so angry!!!) I felt guilty for suspecting that crying mother.

Then there were the reports coming out that the Children's Services agency that placed little Marcus in their home had been their recently and was told Marcus was sick and wasn't allowed in. And then reports came out that about the time Marcus went missing is right around the time that Children's Services workers were supposed to have another followup visit with him.

...The lady and man in that video went to a family reunion in Kentucky on August 4th "restraining" poor little Marcus in their home's closet for two days until they arrived back home. But Marcus wasn't alive when they got home. Just imagine that poor little boy. Suffering without any light, any food, any water, and temperatures that were surely up in the 90s even if the home had the air conditioning on. I wouldn't even think of leaving my dog alone for over 24 hours without any of those things.

This boy had no chance with his biological mother either.

Poor little Marcus. In January he fell from a two story window at his biological mother, Donna Trevino's home. In April, Marcus was discovered roaming the street by himself and was almost struck by a car. Officers removed Marcus Fiesel and two other siblings from the home of their biological mother. Marcus' bedroom had a foam mat, and there was feces on the walls and carpet, according to police. His biological mother told them that she couldn't care for the children any longer and they were "their problem now."

But, of course that’s preferable to letting Marcus live with a…a…gay couple. Goddess knows what would have happened then. I mean, he might still be alive! And maybe even (gasp!) happy!
