At the tender age of five, Frankie Santa Cruz was doing things his parents should have been doing; changing diapers, making bottles, and taking care of his siblings. His parents, strung out on meth, werent able to do these things, so Frankie had to step in.

"He recalls how his parents spent most of their time in the bathroom, leaving him to feed, clothe and care for his brothers and sister."
