Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton charged 40-year-old Damien O'Brien and his wife, 41-year-old Jessica O'Brien, with second-degree murder following the death of their 7-year-old son Casper. The boy was 50.5
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.
there have been times in my life where I’ve encountered children and I just… no idea what grade they’re in or supposed to be in. My ex-wife made fun of me once because of it.
I’m going to lock this little rule inside my brain and next time I encounter a child of known age, I’m gonna belt it out: “OH YOU’RE 10? HOW’S THE FIFTH GRADE?” and feel like a king
Can also vary regionally. Grew up in Cali, basically everyone started kindergarten at 5 years old. Moved to Oregon during high school and everyone was almost a year older than me. Found out it’s because they generally started kindergarten at 6.

Seven is essentially 2nd grade. General rule is age minus 5.
omg “Age minus 5”

Also keep in mind thats usually when they start, so latter in the year it may be 6 difference.
IE, A High School senior (12th grade) starts at 17, but probably ends at 18.

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.
