Mother demands answers after 6-year-old son drowns while in foster care
A 6-year-old boy, Xion Thomas, drowned in a swimming pool while in the temporary custody of Lucas County Children Services, despite his mother's prior warnings about his inability to swim. The child was placed with an out-of-network foster family due to a shortage of local foster homes, and his death has prompted the mother to demand answers.
