The 4-year-old sister of the missing girl Sherin Matthews will be looked after in foster care for another three weeks.
A custody hearing was postponed by a Dallas County judge on Monday to allow her father, Wesley Matthews, time to hire an attorney, according to CBS news.
Three-year-old Sherin Matthews went missing after she was left outside at 3 a.m. on Oct 7 as a punishment for not finishing her milk.
Her adoptive father was arrested and initially charged with abandoning or endangering a child, and her 4-year-old sister was removed from her parents care by Texas Child Protective Services.
Since the discovery of a child’s body by police on Sunday, which they believe to be that of Sherin, her father has been re-arrested and charged with a further felony offense.
