On June 25, 2002 foster mother Sally Schofield was found guilty of using more than 42 feet of duct tape to restrain Logan Marr, a five year old child, in a high chair and causing her die of asphyxiation.  Sally tried to say that Logan had taped herself to the high chair.

Logan's mother claims she was removed from her home becaus she moved around to much.  No claims of child abuse were ever made against Logan's mother.

Sally Schofield was a former state Department of Human Services foster care worker and was 39 years old at the time of this incident. She waved her right to a jury trial and was found guilty of the charge of manslaughter by a judge.

When being lead from the courtroom, Sally hid her face as she had done many times before. The press asked two questions of her which she ignored:

Another sad fact in this case is that a worker in the foster care system had been with Logan while she was visiting her birth mother.  During the visit Logan stated that her foster mother had hurt her by squeezing her face and made her cry.  This was ignored by the foster care worker who never filed a report.

Sadly enough, Sally was sentence to only 28 years, with eight of those years suspended, for taking the life of this innocent child. She will be on probation for only six years after her release.

Logan's mother said the following:

Sharon,
 We would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts, for giving us the opportunity to tell you and your viewers about our Logan.Logan was a very bright and beautiful little girl, her favorite color was purple, her favorite cartoon was Arthur, her all time favorite movie was Babes In ToyLand. Logan had a deep desire to know the who, what, where, when and why of everything.She loved her mom, and baby sister, Bailey, as much as any child could love.
  I told Bailey about your site, and asked her if she could tell the whole world one thing about her sister what would it be, she thought for a moment and said, I miss my sisters voice, it is so hard to listen to an almost seven year old have to talk about her big sister in the past, instead of the present.We have learned so much about what goes on behind the closed doors of D.H.S. It is very scarey, that at any given moment your child or grandchild could be taken away and never seen or heard from again and no explanation needed.
   I am sending three pictures, one is of Bailey at age 5 and a half, when people see this picture, they think it is Logan, we have to show them, its not, Bailey and Logan look so much alike. I am also sending you the front view and the back view of Logans head stone, it is very beautiful, it reminds us of her, Logan had a thing about water, she loved it, her head stone rests, with a stream running on the other side. Bailey, has had her hair cut since then and is quite the young lady, more grown up then any almost seven year old should be. Bailey is back with her mom and has been for almost four years now, she is very much a mommas girl and she is the light of my daughters life, if ever a mom and daughter belong together, its them
    I want to thank you, for taking the time to listen to a still greaving grandmother, and a very proud grandmother of two beautiful little girls, and a very proud mother.

When I asked Logan's Grandmother about the phrase "Talk To The Hand" on Logan's
headstone, here is what she had to say:

" Talk To The Hand" was something Logan used to say to her grandpa, my husband in a gentle way would say what a cute little boy she was, and she in turn would say" I am A little girl", her grandpa would then tell her he was getting old and he forgot and said he was sorry, they did this every morning,until one morning Logan put her little hand up and said " Talk To The Hand Granpa, cause I am not listening any more" she tossed her little head backed and laughed, my husband had tears in his eyes and said " yes Logi Bear you are a very beautiful little girl" ( Logan called him gampa, because she couldn't say grandpa, her nick name was Logi Bear and we all called her that. It bacame their thing about talk to the hand, they were very close, evry where he went, you could bet Logi Bear was only a couple of steps behind him, she adored her gampa and he adored his Logi Bear. I hope this helps, and again many thanks for your support.

Baily 5 1/2 years old. She does look exactly like Logan.
Both are beautiful little girls.
