Their time in the system is implied to be rough and abusive. As a result of having no relatives to care for them, Callie and Jude were placed into the foster care system for six years. Consequently, their father went to prison for manslaughter since he had also killed other people. When Callie was ten and Jude was six, their mother passed away in a car accident that their father's drunk driving was responsible for. Jude Jacob was born on November 17, 2000, to Colleen and Donald Jacob.
