8. The school did what they legally could

Friday

when he was pulled out. There is little to no supervision of so-called "homeschooling" families. The school called DFS several times and they did what they legally could, apparently. (Anybody here with one of those departments that could answer?) The defendant's lawyer is already blaming the father but he's been dead for several years and was wheelchair bound for several years before that; may have been abused himself before that. What I don't understand is why they half-sisters, who are now adults, or the uncle, didn't report something.
