An arraignment is scheduled for the parents on Monday, April 8, 2024 at 1:30pm in front of Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Edward Servitto.
"When parents betray the sacred trust to nurture and protect, we must ensure that the scales of justice tip in favor of accountability,” said Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido.
The Macomb County Prosecutor’s office represents the people. We are committed to achieving justice and following the laws of the State of Michigan. All that are accused of a crime are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
