CINCINNATI, Ohio (AP) -- The foster parents of a disabled 3-year-old boy wrapped him like a cocoon and left him for two days in a closet, where he died while they attended a family reunion, a prosecutor said.

The couple made several attempts to burn Marcus Fiesel's body and concocted an elaborate sham to cover up the boy's death, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said Tuesday.

"Marcus was wrapped in a blanket and wrapped in tape with his arms behind him -- and this was not the first time," Deters said in announcing additional indictments against Liz and David Carroll Jr.

This is crazy to me. Is being a foster parent that lucrative? I always hear the comment that people become foster parents for the check. Money hungry azzez.

I was talking to a Soror yesterday whose friend (also a Soror) is a social worker. How about Social Worker Soror's co-worker had a client who the judge specifically said DO NOT SEND THIS KID back to the parents. What does coworker do? She tells foster parents we will still send you the check but she put the kids back with the parents.

So sad.

My child advocacy professor and I were talking about a case in Newark, NJ where the foster parents were starving four boys. The oldest was 18 years old and only weighted 48 pounds. They had children of their own but they were fine. Nothing but being sick in the head can explain why people do things like this.

Hearing stuff like that fuels my desire to be a foster parent someday. I've always wanted to adopt or serve as a foster parent because every child derserves the feelings of security, love, and just knowing that someone is definitely in their corner. The check has nothing to do with my ambition that I've had for a few years now.
