Arizona lawmaker demands accountability after 9-year-old boy with diabetes died in foster care

An Arizona Senate leader wants accountability and answers following an ABC15 Investigation into the heartbreaking death of a 9-year-old boy with diabetes who died 18 days after being placed in the state’s foster care system. Jakob Blodgett was a type one diabetic. He died last December after employees at a Phoenix group home let him refuse his insulin – the lifesaving medication doctors said he needed to live, according to an incident report from the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office. MCSO has an open investigation into Jakob’s death.
