White foster parents kept black foster children in cages

[951-Riverside]

I just saw the story quickly go by on Court TV does anyone know more about this case?

Edit: I tried looking on the CourtTV website and I found absolutely nothing but what I did see was a photo and at the bottom of the screen it mentioned they pleaded not guilty.

1. When the original story came out...

They only reported that the foster parent's kept the kids in cages...the explanation that the fosters gave was they put the children in cages to protect the children. From what I remember most if not all of the children are mentally challenged and are various ages...

But the media never mentioned that the Fosters were white and the Children were black.....Wow!! I am furious....

I think the story came out last summer...I don't remember what state.

2. The faces were blurred out but judging by skin/hair they appeared to be

black, might be the same story.

5. If it's the same case, that happened

in Huron Ohio. About 45 minutes from me. I believe there were 11 adopted children in all that they kept in cages. They said it was to protect the children from harming themselves. Crazy people. I really don't know the color of the skin. The parents are white. I think they are trying to get the children back if you can believe that!!!

6. So there were questions of abuse...

Why were these people allowed to adopt any of the children?

11. I live about 50 miles from there and this is the first I've heard

they were all black. I thought they were both.

12. So which are you more mad about?

(A) That it was White on Black abuse?

or

(B) That it was child abuse?

The reason I ask is that child abuse is a problem in virtually every community, among every ethnic group, among every economic class.

So why is this case so notable? I refer you back to the first question.

As for me.... any child abuse is the fucking problem, and the penalties aren't near harsh enough.
