Hi, I'm your host Campbell. Grab a beer and pull up a deck chair. This is True Crime

Ireland Special Edition. Tonight there will be updates on the Grenfell disaster, readers, posts and more, but first, a request

from K Michelle on a very sad case from 2006.

This is the story of Marcus Fizal, three-year-old kid that died at the hands of his foster family.

So Marcus was born June 24, 2003 to his mother Donna Trevino and father Timothy Dolby.

Marcus was one of three children. He had an older Trafino house situated in Middleton, Ohio was not the sort of place to bring up children.

The house was infested with fleas and stunk of shit and mold. With her abusive boyfriend, Donna would often experience domestic violence

and police would often be called.

The family were being investigated by child welfare officers when a visit by police on the

29th of September 2005 they noticed severe bruising on Marcus's butt. A few

months later on the 4th of January 2006 Marcus climbed out of his second-story window and fell off the roof.

This resulted in a cut to his chin that required several stitches. Three months later on the 22nd of

April 2006 Marcus was found wandering the streets and he was nearly run over by a car.

When police were called, Donna Trevino admitted that.

She didn't know if she could care for her children anymore and that it was

getting to be too much for her. Well this led to her handing the children over to Butler County.

Marcus would be placed in the hands of Life Way for Youth, a private foster care agency contracted by the state. Lifeway was a non-for-profit

faith-based foster care placement service.

Now as a foster care placement agency, they needed to follow certain rules and standards.

They need to carefully check applicants and

make sure they're trained correctly in foster care as well as they also need to do

regular checks on place children.
