    Holy shit, neither of their children had been enrolled in school, the boy was only taken to see a doctor once in his entire life, CPS had never been out to the house, landlord wasn’t allowed in just picked up rent from the porch. No one knew these kids were there essentially.

      Well at age 7 they would be entering first grade. The younger child is 5. It’s not good that these kids hadn’t been to any kind of school, but they were still on the young side of being required to. My take anyhow.

        They were both school age. 5 years old is kindergarten.

        These children were being hidden and no one was looking for them. It’s incredibly sad.
