Boy's mom signs away settlement
Money wil be split between Marcus' two siblings, ages 2 and 12
Pack, Lauren. Dayton Daily News, Feb. 28, 2007, pg. A7.
HAMILTON — An emotional Donna Trevino ran from a courtroom Tuesday after signing away her rights in a wrongful death settlement with the agency that placed her 3-year-old son, Marcus Fiesel, with the foster parents convicted of killing him.
Judge Randy Rogers of Butler County Probate Court approved a $206,000 out-ofcourt agreement that will be split between the boy's siblings — Peaches, 2, and Michael, 12.
A trust also was established to administer the payments to the children as they grow into adulthood.
Rogers said by law, the parent is the only one permitted to receive payment in a wrongful death suit. Trevino waived that right, giving the money to Marcus' next of kin.
Trevino is still fighting in county Juvenile Court to get custody of her two other children, who were taken by county children services last spring and remain in foster care.
