There needs to be so much more oversight about adoptive parents (and parents that homeschool), So many horror stories.
What I want to know is how they got DCYF to let them adopt 5 black children, when they lived in a town with absolutely no black population. Took those kids from whatever city they were familiar with and dumped them off in the middle of nowhere -literally the middle of nowhere.Yes this article from New York Post confirms it.
"Prosecutors also said they have evidence the couple moved from Washington after they learned they were under investigation for abuse and neglect."![]()
Wealthy white couple allegedly kept their black adopted children as slaves, locked them in barn: report
Donald Ray Lantz, 63, and Jeanne Kay Whitefeather, 62, pleaded not guilty to more than a dozen new charges on Tuesday after several kids were found locked in a crumbling shed in ratty clothing, acc…nypost.com
It is likely. I am just floored....looking at their previous towns census, they have zero population of African Americans, it is that rural.Given what I know about the foster/adoption system in the US (which admittedly isn't a lot), I wouldn't be surprised if all five kids were biological siblings. The system likes to keep siblings together whenever possible but there's not a lot of people willing to adopt five kids at once.
That article is horrifying. They were in contact with youth/group homes for runaway teens, in Chicago, and what? Promised a group of teen runaways a ew life, together, where no one could separate them?![]()
New indictment claims Sissonville mother used bear spray on adopted children
A new indictment returned against a Sissonville couple accused of human trafficking and forced labor of their adopted Black children makes new allegations againwchstv.com
“The new indictment also now accuses Whitefeather of four counts of child abuse resulting in bodily injury after prosecutors said she sprayed four of the children with bear spray and bear repellant.”
as if the adoptive parents weren't horrifically abusing them as well. I fail to see how that was them "struggling to deal with their children's past trauma"Whitefeather’s attorney, Mark Plants, said the case “is about adoptive parents struggling to deal with their children’s past trauma and severe mental illness.” He said friends and relatives of Whitefeather will testify that four of the children suffered “physical, sexual and emotional” abuse by their biological mother, including what he said was the mother’s use of alcohol and drugs while she was pregnant.
