This case surrounds the abuse and neglect of a 14 year old girl who has not been named publicly

only identified by her initials M.G.

It takes place in Oneida, Wisconsin, a small town located on the outskirts of Green Bay.

For the first years of her life, M.G.

lived with her mother until the spring of 2020

When she moved in with her dad, 47-year-old Walter Goodman, stepmom, 50-year-old Melissa Goodman, her adult stepsister, 29-year-old Savannah Lefevre, and stepbrother, 15-year-old N.M.

They also had two dogs, Lily and Sassy.

A year after MG moved in in August of 2021, her stepsister Savannah's partner Kayla Stemmler also moved into the trailer.

Not a lot is known about MG's life prior to moving in with her father.

From what we know, she didn't have much contact with Walter since she was a little girl and had only met Melissa a few times before moving in.

according to walter mg's mother went to jail in may of 2020 so cps asked if he could take custody of her and he agreed that seems to be why she ended up with him though we don't know why she ended up in jail or if she's still in jail or what issues she was facing either way after moving in this was the setup of the trailer melissa and walter shared the main bedroom

Savannah had her own room and MG joined NM in his bedroom.

The room had bunk beds so MG slept on the top bunk while NM slept on the bottom bunk.

By the time Kayla moved in though, NM moved out of the room he shared and started sleeping on the couch.

And of course, Kayla joined Savannah in her room.

It should be noted that both Walter and Melissa

were extremely obese to the point of being almost bedbound.

Neither of them left the home very often and it's unclear whether either of them ever worked.

Kayla was really the only one who actually worked outside the home.

She had studied early childhood education and was working as a teacher's aide in a three-year-old room at the Head Start program.
