Springfield, Illinois- Barrett Koches, a 7-year-old foster child, passed away while in the care of David and Mike Yankee. The foster parents had an ingrown pool that was uncovered and full of black water. Barrett was home with two other small children without any adult supervision when he fell into the pool and passed away.
For everyone asking, there have been no charges at all placed against David or Mike Yankee. DCFS is not charging them with any child endangerment, abuse or neglect charges. They are continuing to allow David and Mike to be a licensed foster home.
If it was any of us that left minor children at home alone and one passed away, we would be arrested and charged.
I do not understand why DCFS is closing their eyes and pretending this isn't a serious infraction. I will not settle for Barrett getting absolutely no justice when he had so much life ahead of him. A FedEx driver had to call 911 and try to retrieve Barrett from the pool while holding back a 4 and 10 year old so they would also not to be injured.
This is an injustice of the highest degree.
I marked out sensitive information in the FOIA statement but they are 100% not holding David or Mike accountable whatsoever and are not ashamed or embarrassed to admit that they are standing behind them.
