Indictment Accuses White Couple of Forcing Adopted Black Children to Work as 'Slaves,' Says Judge

[Superbadbrutha]

A White couple from West Virginia is accused of locking their adopted Black children in a barn on their property and forcing them to work in a case that authorities allege was fueled by racism, according to court documents cited by multiple news outlets.

Donald Ray Lantz, 63, and Jeanne Kay Whitefeather, 62, were initially arrested in October 2023 and now face new charges, including human trafficking of a minor child, use of a minor child in forced labor, and child neglect creating substantial risk of serious bodily injury or death, West Virginia MetroNews reported.

The arrests of Lantz and Whitefeather came after a neighbor called Child Protective Services, alleging that two teenagers were being locked in a shed at the couple’s home in Sissonville, according to court documents obtained by WCHS-TV. Other neighbors also claimed the children were “forced to perform farm labor and were not permitted inside the residence,” per the documents.

According to the court filing, deputies who responded to the scene alleged they saw deplorable conditions, saying the two children were locked in the shed with a portable toilet and no running water, according to an indictment cited by West Virginia MetroNews. The children told investigators they were also forced to sleep on the floor and had been locked in there for about 12 hours, per the indictment.

In third world countries children are a source of labor. That's why they have so many.

Superpooper knows this, he just chooses to ignore it.

 

[ThisIsMe]

Uh..this isn’t a third world country. This is wrong no matter how you look at it. There’s no defending this kind of treatment of children.

I expect the couple will do prison time and rightly so

Doesn't sound like a black/white thing, it sounds like a "shitty people" thing.

even though so many were raised in similar circumstances.....?

If the reported stories are true, I agree with you. But we don't know the facts yet.

If they were locking them in a shed and not letting them into the family home then yeah, they aren't adoptive kids, they are little more than slaves.

What's sad is the Biden admin has imported tens of thousands of illegal children, and turned them over to who knows who. Many of those children are ending up as sex slaves, and not a peep from our so called concerned leftists.

One bad action doesn’t negate another. Besides, we just don’t do that kind of stuff here in the states.

Sure, but if they are true…this was a despicable act by these people.

Most people don't "do that kind of stuff" anywhere.

_Do you think there are untold numbers of white couples with farmland adopting black kids?

So, I'm assuming you feel just as strongly for black kids neglected and abused
by their black parent/s/caregivers

I wish we had a better justice system sometimes. I would say lock the dang parents in that same barn for the rest of their lives.

That's the answer to the second to last question.

To the very last, probably not much.
