I’ve been trying to follow this story, but I’ve got some questions.
How does the friend fit in to this story? Why were Franke’s kids left with her long enough for her to be starving them?
Where was the dad? Why isn’t he being charged with abuse? Or at least neglect, if he didn’t have custody? How could he have not known his kids were being treated poorly?
Why did cps take so long to respond? Neighbors and family members had made numerous reports over a very long period of time, but nothing happened. Why were so many reports blatantly ignored?
