HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) -- The mother of a 3-year-old developmentally disabled child who died in foster care filed a $5 million lawsuit Tuesday against county officials, the foster parents and the agency that placed the boy.
The foster parents, Liz and David Carroll Jr., are jailed on charges that include involuntary manslaughter.
Prosecutors say the couple wrapped the boy in a blanket and packing tape, and left him in a closet while they went to a family reunion in August.
The boy, Marcus Fiesel, was dead when the Carrolls returned two days later. Prosecutors believe David Carroll burned the boy's body and may have dumped some of the remains in the Ohio River.
The Carrolls are being held on $10.1 million bond each, and prosecutors have said they plan to seek murder indictments.
Marcus' mother, Donna Trevino, is suing the Carrolls and the government and private agencies involved for negligence, claiming they failed to adequately supervise the placement and treatment of her son, said her attorney, Kevin Hughes.
The young boy and two other children had been removed from Trevino's Middletown home because of allegations she neglected them.
Other defendants in the lawsuit are the Butler County commissioners and the county's Children's Services department; Lifeway for Youth Inc., the private agency that placed the child with the Carrolls; and Amy Baker, who lived with the Carrolls and helped investigators in the case.
