[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Odd video of one of their kids when much younger

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQx_ypnpIO0&feature=youtu.be&t=8m32s

This story has so many facets. LGBTQ, white women adopting black children, political activism, homeschooling, child abuse, possible outcomes of calling CPS/CPS actions, murder/suicide.[/quote]

What on earth was this video?  That poor little boy. [/quote]

I know!  Why is no one  besides  you me and the poster who linked the video commenting?  Everyone is stuck on the damn t-shirts.  The video is really, really disturbing and inappropriate.

Another facet is mental illness which is common in that community. [b] Adoptions should require a mental health evaluation[/b] instead of assuming people who fit a certain stereotype should automatically be assumed a good, qualified parent, etc.

So many of the moms behaviors were extremes and should have been red flags to the authorities.[/quote]

Adoption requires home visits, interviews, etc.  It is quite intrusive and you do need to disclose any mental health issues and get letters from doctors.  I don't know who these women used for their home study - but perhaps that person did not do a good back ground check?  [/quote]

Was it unusual for the mom who plead guilty to hitting the girl to be sentenced to probation and allowed to keep the children, as well as withdraw all of the kids from school and relocate out of state?  I would have thought any abuse proven true would warrant the termination of parental rights, especially since these were adopted kids and considered fragile and in need of a stable home.  The authorities should have realized then that these moms were not fit to parent and 6 kids was too many. [/quote]

The vast majority of allegations of abuse do not lead to termination of parental rights. Typically CPS works with the parents - parents have to take parenting classes or show they understnad how to discipline in non abusive ways, they may be asked to attend counselling to deal with their own issues etc. Expecially in this case since Sarah pled guilty and showed remorse and agreed she had overreacted - they likely felt there wasn't a lot of further risk. The case would have remained open for a period of time with a CPS worker checking in. The odd thing is that the daughter alleged that Jennifer abused her, not Sarah. Yet, Sarah pled guilty.

In a case where the children ahve been adopted from foster care, I would like to think they would have given closer scrutiny but they may not have. [/quote]

The problem is one incident against a child is too many.  It only took one time to kill the kids in NYC.  There is always a first for everything.  They all say it was a mistake and they have never hurt a child before.  This was what the nyc nanny stated was the reason, she shouldn't go to prison.  The nanny only needs to kill one time to go to prison.  Murder is murder.  How many times she hurt or murdered a child  is irrelevant.

There should be 1 strike and the kids are removed and no more 6 kids to  adoptive parents, especially if home is unstable with prior abuse.[/quote]
