It would be weird to omit it.

Numerous studies show that boys need a male figure to raise them. The inappropriate behavior from the boys displayed in the media can be explained by the lack of proper parenting.

Shut the hell up with this bs. Please cite your “numerous” studies or leave.

It’s true. You can be a lesbian couple raising boys, but you should be finding some decent , trusted male figures for the boys.
Ditto for adopting kids of different races - it’s also your responsibility as the adoptive parent to help the child find some community aligned with the child’s race.

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.

What on earth was this video? That poor little boy.

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. Adoptions should require a mental health evaluation 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.

Pp, I also find the video disturbing. There is so much pain in the boy's body language. The way he clings to the singer...

I also wonder though, if his behavior indicates a disability or RAD. Kids who are starved for attention don't hug random strangers. What I can see is their moms saying "he's such a loving child, always hugging people. Let's hang one of those'free hugs' signs on his neck. He'll think it's neat, and it will make us look like such cool parents." (Free hugs signs are a trend amongst hippies).

Sounds to me like a relative of one of the moms or friends of the family trying to justify the horrible abuse that these children endured.

No one said anything about lesbians.

More and more allegations of abuse surfacing (2008, 2010, 2013, 2016, 2017).

These poor kids. The withholding of food had been happening since shortly after their adoption. Their whole lives were filled with abuse. Physical beatings as well.

I remember when that picture from 2014 circulated. It was appalling and so obviously something meant to prop up some seriously messed up parents.

I agree. I don't think this young boy in the video nor the 2014 photo did this on his own accord at all. If it wasn't the parents pushing the boy to do this, they should have never allowed it. It was the parents who bought that onesie with the tail and allowed it to be worn in public with no shoes or socks. The parents are responsible for this along with the haircut. I don't think the boy realized this is inappropriate and there are predators out there. Everyone in that crowd got a huge laugh out of the boy and didn't see what we saw. There was even a woman behind the boy touching him in the crowd.

Ugh these poor kids. I can’t take stories about abuse of kids. Makes me heartsick.

That actually makes sense. One of the hallmarks of RAD is inappropriate affection toward strangers while inability to form lasting attachment to family/parents. Also, if that was 2013, he should have been about 10, right? He looks half that age. That, plus the bizarre outfit, makes me think he was not a typical kid. Usually, though, parents dealing with RAD would be working with their child to model appropriate displays of affection, not encouraging him to walk around--and crash the stage of a concert--hugging strangers, especially for such a long, tight, one-sided embrace. The performer was being nice in allowing it, but he was clearly no longer hugging back. Imagine how often that happened with people who didn't want a hug at all.

The adopted male children would have benefited from a strong male father in the household.
