Here’s another story that should make all well-meaning people ask the question: “Why would you adopt kids just to treat them like this?” Today’s case involves Tamika Shuntell Williams of Warren, Michigan, who adopted two twin girls, now 8, because Williams herself couldn’t conceive. How did Williams treat her precious gifts? According to quiet, fearful […]
When I wrote for Blogging Baby, I found that there was a whole cadre of folks who are virulently anti-adoption. They believe that the adoption industry is an inherently evil, immoral entity that tears families apart. I hadn’t encountered these folks again, though, until today, when MCA alerted me to the case of Allison Quets. […]
Thanks again to mgraber for this update in the case of Michael and Sharen Gravelle, the beautiful people charged with keeping their 11 special-needs foster kids locked in cages. You know, because God hadn’t been cruel enough to these kids already. This morning, Huron County Sheriff Dick Sutherland took the stand and described why the […]
The shittiest, and I mean SHITTIEST, thing that can happen to a child is to be pulled from one abusive home, only to be thrown into another. What can a young kid conclude about life when every family to whom he’s sent treats him like garbage? I can only imagine what went through seven-year-old Ricky […]
Thanks (if that’s the word for it) to Southern Sass for this appalling story of adoptive parents run amock. I’ve run a fair number of stories in this space about adoptive and foster parents who treat their kids as badly or worse than they were treated by their original parents (with poor Marcus Fiesel being […]
Justice is blind. And apparently dumb. In an effort to bring closure to a lengthy abuse case and get themselves a 4:00 tee time at the golf course tomorrow, attorneys involved in this abuse casehave come up with a novel solution. Charges against the unidentified mother will be dropped if the mother agrees to give […]
Nicole sent us all an email today (or was it yesterday? I don’t know) telling us about the new development in TomKat’s life. She was handing over the opportunity to snark, saying she didn’t want to resort to “who’s the donor?” jokes. I told her that was my first thought upon hearing the jubilant […]
Let’s cut to the chase, folks: Tammy and Chrisopher Nickel should be put to death. They tortured their adopted daughter to the point that she weighed 27 pounds…at ten years old. My kid is 18 months old. He weighs 28 pounds. And no, he is not big for his age.
The Nickels caught me on […]
Survivor winner Richard Hatch plead not guilty on Monday to tax evasion and other charges, including mail fraud and filing a false tax return. Hatch has been accused of failing to pay income taxes on his Survivor winnings and $355,000 of other income. He is also accused of “misusing $36,500 from a nonprofit […]
Wow. I don’t know who to “thank” for sending me this one. Ann Adams, Beth Hoyt, Kenneth Love, Misty Scanlon and Matthew Miller were all thinking about me when they learned that authorities in Ohio had found 11 children, ages 1 to 14, locked in cages one meter high. But the most shocking thing? Foster/adoptive […]
