When children are homeschooled, it's easy for the world to forget that they exist.

In August 2017, 15-year-old Erica Lynn Parsons, who had been homeschooled in North Carolina by

her adoptive parents, she was reported missing by her stepbrother, and it soon emerged that

she hadn't been seen since 2011.

Erica's birth mother is now calling for an Erica's law that would provide greater oversight

for those being homeschooled. Right now, there's remarkably little. In 10 states in the

United States, homeschooling is completely unregulated. And in 15 more, parents only have to

notify their school district that their kids will be

learning at home. There are no minimum educational standards for teachers, no curriculum review,

no testing or monitoring to make sure that any education is taking place at all. No one is checking

if these kids are okay, allowing some parents to hide

their crimes, sometimes fatally. Home-schooling horrors this week are mysteriously listed.

Number six, Trinity Jones.

Trinity was born in January 2010 to parents Tuxta Graham and Antonio Jones.

Graham and Antonio's relationship was over before Little Trinity was born,

and Graham was given full custody of their daughter.

Trinity was only a year old when child services began receiving reports of abuse against the little girl.

However, all allegations were deemed unfounded and no further action was taken.

Graham was sentenced to a probation violation and given a two-year sentence.

But by December 2017, she was released and given custody back of Trinity. Around this time, Graham began dating a meal hunt,

a real classy guy with a previous criminal conviction of torture and felony child abuse.

May 2018, the new family would move out of a relative's home where they were living at the time.
