Mac and Terrence's Father and Frankie's Parents

[Invader Bloo]

Ben 10 is during summer & they're on vacation with Grandpa, but yeah nothing much on Ben's or Gwen's parents as of yet.

I also think that if Frankie's parents are dead or gone, they might have put her in a foster home or maybe she's been in an orphanage or something before. That would make sense and kind of tie in to her dedication to Foster's, perhaps feeling a sense of "Hey, i've been where you are".

These are interesting points, but in the episode "Who Let the Dogs In" Frankie quoted a saying her parents told her (I cannot remember the quote). If the parents really abandoned her, would they have given her that anecdote (which eludes me at the moment)?

Actually, I saw an episode that explains what happened to Sailor Moon's real mom, and it turns out thatSpoiler Below

she risked her own life to save everyone in the moon by using her sceptor and sent everyone to Earth with their memories erased.

But nothing about her real father. But if your talking about the other sailor scout's parents, you got me there.
