Marshall Rakoff

Marshall Rakoff is the former foster brother of Betsey Parker.

History
Marshall came to the hospital with his parents, Phil and Gina, and his foster sister, Betsey, who had fallen down the stairs. Because of that injury and a previous healed clavicle fracture, Cooper suspected she was being abused. Naomi got Gina and Phil out of the room and Cooper asked her about it, but she said she fell. When they figured out what was happening, the Rakoffs asked Cooper to leave.

Cooper called in Gladys because of his concerns. Gladys said she believed he was wrong, but she'd follow-up on his complaint.

Later, while eating ice cream with Marshall, Sheldon had concerns that Marshall was the one who had hurt Betsey. He went to the Rakoffs about it, but they were angry at the implication and refused to listen.

Sheldon went to Gina alone and deduced that she'd already been concerned about Marshall. She said that she'd known for a while that he was different, but she didn't want to see it. She thought bringing another kid into their home would give him a friend. She told a comatose Betsey that she loved her and left, saying she needed to put Marshall first.

Familial
Marshall's mother worried about his behavior because he had no friends and had frequent confrontations with other children.

Friendships
He has no friends.
