I still feel like I've missed something. How do we know they are not already living in a different home and they simply moved after the tragedy to another place?
I think people are believing that because just Wednesday this past week it was reported that IF's attys were not petitioning for IF to be released to his parents because there was no 'suitable place to keep him' -- and reported elsewhere that it was not petitioned due to the fact that at the time of the crime they were 'in the process of moving.'
People are interpreting this the best they can figure, I think. Sounds like they're between homes, and that the petition didn't happen due to that instability.

ETA: Here's how the defense atty puts it:
Based on statements from the last hearing, it was thought Fowler’s defense would submit a petition to allow their client to be released to his parents, but such a request was not made.
In a later press conference, the defense explained why it hadn’t made the request.
“We didn’t make any request along the lines of the release today, and the reason is the family was in a state of flux when this incident happened; they were about to move. And this happened and they lost their residence then and it’s been very difficult to go back to a very solid stable life enough to receive their son back during this trial. We don’t have an appropriate placement for him other than where he’s at,” Reichel said. Isaiah is being held at a youth facility in El Dorado County.
