Heading: Mary and Tina Enter Foster Care.

Text: On December 13, 2007, Fritzinger and Miller returned custody of the sisters to DFS, who placed them in a foster home. Mary and Tina did not like their first foster parents, the Wests, and on at least one occasion, Tina asked if she could go back to live with Fritzinger. The sisters lived with the Wests until August 13, 2008, when DFS moved them to another foster home. They shared this home with new foster parents, the Atallians, two foster sisters, and the Atallians' adopted son. On October 2, 2008, Mary and Tina attended a Family Court hearing regarding their foster placement. Both sisters told the Family Court judge that they wanted their half sister, Beth, to come live with them. The Family Court judge told them that he had no power to take Beth from Fritzinger and Miller and place her in their foster home.
