The Garlin case refers to the murder of Tammie Garlin and the earlier physical abuse of Garlin's 11-year-old son on June 4, 2007, by their roommate Candace Clark, Clark's boyfriend Michael Sisk, and Garlin's girlfriend Michaela Clerc. Garlin's 15-year-old daughter, Felicia Mae, was tried as a juvenile for being a willing participant in her mother's murder and the abuse of her brother. The case drew attention to blind spots in the U.S. state of Florida's child-protection system.
