parents charged in death of missing 3-year-old

[Guest guest]

Everyone needs to watch this video of the biological mother of that precious

little boy with autism who was murdered by foster parents. I read several

different stories about this and it appears that the foster parents bound him in

cocoon fashion and left him in a closet for a couple of days. When they came

back he was dead and then staged a scene to report him missing. He was so

beautiful! His mom is in anguish. We cannot be silent about this. According

to the articles I have read, he was removed from his natural parents because of

a filthy home. Another article said he had left the house in the middle of the

night once, but also said that he did that at numerous foster homes after being

removed from his family. I have to say here that it is true that the CPS can

legally take a child from you if they deem your home as dirty, and it is very

subjective. But the important thing is that children with autism who are taken

from their parents are worse off most of the time and in Texas they are usually

put in the state hospitals. Most of these news article don't use the term

autism though some do.

parents charged in death of missing 3-year-old

CINCINNATI (AP) -- The foster parents of a missing 3-year-old developmentally

disabled boy were charged today in his death, and the foster father accused of

burning his body.

Liz and 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. 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 Carroll was charged with gross

abuse of a corpse.

Carroll took the boy's body to rural Brown County and burned it, Deters

said. A search for the remains was launched Monday. Deters declined to discuss

other details of the investigation.

The Carrolls were arrested separately and jailed Monday, he 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 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.

However, as time went on, authorities expressed concern that the search was

going to end badly. Police also openly questioned why no witnesses reported

seeing Marcus in the park.

Liz Carroll, 30, said she was unconscious for about 10 minutes. When she came

to, there were three toddlers nearby, but Carroll said she told people trying to

help her that she had four children.

The other children, her 2-year-old son Bryce, 1-year-old foster child Bradley

and , 1, a child Carroll was baby-sitting, were safe.

The search was called off Aug. 19, but authorities said they were following up

leads they received. A local businessman put up a $10,000 reward for any

information leading to the child or to anyone responsible for his disappearance.

Liz Carroll made a public plea Aug. 22 for help in finding Marcus.

“I'm asking that anybody that saw me with my kids, or saw me, or saw Marcus,

to please contact the authorities, the news, anybody … anybody,†she said at

a news conference she asked Hamilton County authorities to arrange.

Carroll said Marcus had the mental ability of a child 12 to 18 months old.

Marcus joined the family about four months ago and had a history of wandering

off, he said. The child once left the home of his biological parents in

Middletown in the middle of the night and did the same thing while living with

other foster parents.

Authorities said they searched the foster parents' home and property in addition

to the other areas. The foster mother was released from the hospital a few days

after the boy disappeared, and the sheriff's department said the family had

moved.
