As Florida Today reports, the saga began when a Florida woman placed an ad on Craigslist offering child-care services. Before long, a man responded and asked if the woman knew any special-needs caregivers, as he had a developmentally disabled brother in need of day care. Before long, the woman was taking care of the caller's 40-year-old brother, who for four months spent his days watching cartoons and playing video games at the woman's house, where she would bottle-feed him and change his diapers.
