But seriously, death penalty for these two. That or put them in the blackest unit at Parchman or Angola and let them handle it.

I saw this yesterday.

With me and the wife being the white adoptive parents of a black girl, whom we adopted as an infant and who turned 9 last Tuesday, this makes me irrationally angry. There is no excuse for this evil. They are kids for God's sake. There are families w/o kids who would have loved those kids unconditionally and given them a great home.

frick these evil racist motherfrickers. Hope they burn in Hell. They should be thrown off of the New River Gorge bridge and hear them splatter when they hit the river 1,000 ft.below.

ETA: It's West Virginia. So I shouldn't be that shocked.

A judge made the slave comment which doesn’t seem smart if she is going to be the trial judge (I don’t know). They could be pieces of shite who treat their adopted kids poorly (or real kids) regardless of race, but I guess that would somewhat depend on the trafficking charge which just reading article seems to be included only because the adopted kids are black.

I would hope adoption process and agents are being investigated. Before any of the behavior alleged in indictment they seem kind of old to be approved to adopt 5 kids all together or even if done over several years. It seems like they should have been vetted a little more than a couple in their 30s.

They also face allegations of human rights violations, over specifically targeting black children and forcing them to work because of their race


quote:

A white couple from West Virginia have been accused of child neglect after allegedly forcing their adopted black children to work as 'slaves' and locking them in a barn.

…multiple charges, including human trafficking of a minor child, use of a minor child in forced labour, and child neglect creating substantial risk of serious bodily injury or death…

… Kanawha County circuit Judge Maryclaire Akers claimed that the children were "used basically as slaves", citing what the indictment alleges.

They probably are fostered and not adopted.

But it still doesn't excuse it. They are racist pieces of trash.

Race has nothing to do with it.

You get more angry about this than sex trafficking little Latino children?


Harming children is harming children.

Race is irrelevant.

I wondered about this since article in OP is from Sky and may have mixed up terminology, but I also read it in the local news report which also says the kids were adopted in Washington before all later moved to West Virginia after learning they were being investigated in Washington.

quote:

Investigators now say the couple sought out and adopted five black children from a shelter targeting them for their race to do forced labor. The complaint said Lantz and Whitefeather first had them at this 80-acre ranch in Washington state and then moved to this Sissonville home.


They are also holding on to the original bail money put down which was raised by selling their properties in Washington and then in West Virginia.
quote:

“The state’s position is that these assets were used to maintain and harbor minors in violation of the human trafficking statute. Our position is that’s not true, and we look forward to court in which we can prove otherwise," Plants said.

quote:

Krivonyak noted that based on statements from witnesses, including some of the children, the state believes the couple housed and worked the human trafficking victims at both the Washington home and Sissonville home.

Court documents allege the children described ongoing abuse in both states. Prosecutors also said they have evidence the couple moved from Washington after they learned they were under investigation for abuse and neglect.

Sissonville was where that mtv reality show with the rednecks was. The main dude died offroading from carbon monoxide poisoning when they slept in the truck with the exhaust submerged.

Didn't read the article...is there evidence this is the reason for doing the awful things they've done or did they just take advantage of a broken system that had this many black kids in their care? If it turns out they treated white kids like this in the past are they still "racists"? Will the black caretakers that have been caught on video mistreating white kids get the same "hate crime" setup from a judge?

This can be set up right for summer of love 2 level of unrest going into the fall.

Not excusing what they did to the kids, but throwing the racism card out starts to overshadow the actual bigger problem.

The kids were adopted in Washington which is where these 2 were living with the kids originally.

You're right.

Trafficking is trafficking.

The article didn't address whether they had white kids that they did this to.

Like someone said above, trafficking is trafficking. It knows no color.

But like I also said in the OP, it is West Virginia, and there is a lot of racism there, unfortunately. And I don't throw the race card out just for shits and giggles at every opportunity(race/racism gets thrown out way too easily now), but this stinks of it.

But both things can be true.

I would like to reserve judgement of this couple until all facts are revealed and published during the trial and after sentences are levied.

The Dems plans for adopted kids

quote:

To recap, William Dale Zulock and Zachary Jacoby Zulock, frequent faces at the Atlanta Pride Parade, are accused of forming a child-prostitution ring in the Atlanta suburbs. The couple was arrested overnight on July 27, 2022, allegedly in the midst of amassing pedophile members, whom they met off of the gay hook-up app Grindr and to whom they would pimp out their elementary-aged children.

Among the slew of child sex crimes they're facing, the Zulocks are charged with producing and distributing "homemade" child pornography with the two boys they had adopted locally




quote:

A newborn baby girl is dead after being abandoned in the back of a hot vehicle for several hours. Diana Sofia De Los Santos, who had just been adopted two months prior to her death, was found unresponsive in an SUV outside her parents’ home on June 13. Diana was born in Arizona in April, and had been matched to Romer and Jayson De Los Santos, a gay couple from San Diego County, California, who had been actively seeking a newborn child to adopt
