Just joining after hearing about Athena on national news.

"The location of the girls’ biological parents “remains under investigation," according to the OSBI."

What's up with this comment? Have there been any MSM reports to believe her mother might also be in danger? tia

I have not seen any confirmations of anything other than Athena and her sister were placed in the care of two people who were not their bio parents. It’s not clear why that happened or or who made that decision at least that I’ve seen that isn’t rumor.

I was wondering when he would be arrested.
 
I'm going to end up making this my life's mission but: you can arrange to have your children adopted at any point in time! If you can no longer care for your children, you can consult with an adoption agency to come up with an adoption plan that lawfully and legally places the children into a new permanent home with people who have undergone background checks and home studies. MOST states allow this.

Birth parents who choose this option do NOT face neglect or abandonment charges (for the adoption plan) since it is a legal change of guardianship and a proper and permanent adoption by the adoptive parents. The adoptive parents pay for EVERYTHING so there is no cost to it.

I did not know this was a viable option until a few years ago. There is no reason, ever, to just leave a child in an unsafe place.

The biological maternal grandmother told News 9 that she and her son have not been in contact with Athena or her sister since their mother took off with them about a year and a half ago.

 
Wow. Maybe I’m easily fooled, but I barely recognized her with dark hair, even though it was clear from the mugshot that she isn’t a natural blonde.

I noticed her work info:
Meijer
service cordinater

I’ll go out on a limb and say that spelling isn’t an important skill for that position.

She also states she has 3 kids, but names only two of them.

Imo
