Missouri foster mother child endangerment case

Overview

Brenda Deutsch, a 70-year-old Missouri foster mother, was sentenced for child endangerment following an investigation into the exchange of a 17-year-old ward for an exotic monkey.

Authorities determined that Deutsch sent the teenager to an unsanitary residence in Texas under the pretense of a visit. The teenager reported physical abuse, including being struck with objects such as shoes and a paddle. Testimony from Deutsch’s daughter, Brina Johnson, indicated that both the minors and the monkeys in the household were kept in precarious and unsanitary conditions.

Although Deutsch was sentenced to seven years in prison, Lincoln County Judge Thomas Frawley suspended the prison term and instead ordered three years of probation. The judge revoked Deutsch’s foster care license and issued a formal apology to the victims, stating that the Missouri foster care system had failed them.
