So then it’s not the same thing at all. I think we all have embarrassing pictures and videos of our kids but most of us know it’s pretty terrible to put them on a very public medium like YouTube. Especially when the kid is a preteen. |
Adrian Jones, too. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/09/01/boy-7-was-tortured-to-death-and-fed-to-pigs-state-agencies-failed-him-says-lawsuit/?utm_term=.fd2327410225 Trigger warning. Read with caution. |
Report from 2010 abuse allegation

I came across this article too that has more details about the neighbors and the family

I am just so sad for those kids.
That one of the moms had actually been convicted of beating one of the kids just makes the whole thing worse. How many more Beatings happened behind closed doors? So sad. |
WJLA is reporting that a body has been recovered from the ocean near where the car crashes. So incredibly sad. |
Very sad. Expected but kills all hope of some miraculous twist. I hope they find all 3 so they can be buried with their siblings. |
Very sad but expected news. I do hope they find all of them. |
So many people dropping the ball.. |
Another article about the family: the lawyer that represented the biological aunt of one of the kids alleging she fought to have the kids placed with the bio-aunt but lost.
http://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/index.ssf/2018/04/lawyer_for_devonte_harts_aunt.html#incart_breaking This sad sad case raises so many questions about child welfare responsiveness, homeschooling, child abusers crossing state lines, etc. I can’t stop thinking about those kids and how it sounds like they cried out for help and no one helped them. |
I agree. It is a true fact. We can't explain away biology. |
You realize that men are just as likely to abuse their children right? |
Has anyone posted this essay yet? Very interesting viewpoint

I agree, not the same at all. |
Men are more likely to abuse children. Of all of the problems with this family, I can't believe that not having a "strong male father" even registers. |
