I will sketch out the defense.

1. The Iowa family has struggled in poor economic times.

2. The family is very religious and adopted the troubled girl to raise her as a Christian.

3. The girl had severe emotional issue including Anorexia.

4. The family tried to get her help for the Anorexia but there was no help to be found.

5. Adoptive mom was severely depressed and had the go to Disney World to have a break.

6. The girl was so weak, she fell down the basement stairs.

I am not saying that is the reality, but it will be their defense.

My big question: wasn’t the girl in school up until last month? Did the school do anything?
