State settles with third sibling in starved teen case

The Iowa Board of Appeals approved a $4.2 million settlement with the third sibling from the Sabrina Ray starvation case, adding to $10 million paid to two other siblings. The suit accuses the state’s health department of failing to properly investigate abuse at the Perry home of Marc and Misty Ray, who were later convicted. The settlement cites intentional and negligent emotional distress, bodily harm, civil conspiracy, and breach of fiduciary duty in actions linked to mandatory reporting failures.
