State authorities had removed her from her biological parents and placed her, as a toddler, in the Sierra Vista home of David Frodsham, where she lived with other foster children from 2013 until January 2015.
Frodsham was arrested in 2016 after federal authorities accused him of sexual misconduct with children and of providing at least one child to an alleged child pornographer, Randall Bischak, for sexual contact.
The biological mother of the Tucson child says she raised concerns with state workers that while living in Frodsham’s home, her toddler daughter had repeated urinary-tract infections, which can be a sign of sexual abuse in children, but says those concerns went unanswered.

Cripes! How hard is it to check the police record of someone trying to be a foster parent? Is there a shortage of foster homes? Is CPS taking away too many children from their parents? What the heck is going on here?

There are corrupt people in leadership positions who provide children to pedophiles under the guise of a foster family. The Franklin cover up had a few of them, I'm in Ireland and our foster system, I know of one family personally the father has abused at least 2 children and had more afterwards, and I've heard of other cases which went on for decades...

Hello Ireland! It seems to be a global problem and I'm sure your input and reasoning is needed here. Make sure you find someone to trust to tell your story about that one "father" if he is still fostering children. Are most caseworkers well-intentioned people?

Yea, the town found out about that guy I think about 6-7 years ago cuz he seemed to just disappear, I think he at least gave up the kids he had at the time, don't think he was punished tho, although he might have been in the years that passed. As for the system, I think you get a lot of people who join as a vocation, but some who take it as a job and become jaded, and they seem to come into contact with predators and allow it to happen. I think the system is left intentionally shaky, they've had cases that sparked public outrage, but they ignore fixing the root causes, like just having a good vetting system, simple things, I think good, caring people wud be disgusted after a while and wud have to leave, it's a depressing system.
