Zone1 White West Virginia couple forced their adopted black children to work as slaves and live in barn

[el midgetron]

Well, these folks sound like some real subhumans. People who abuse kids are the worst.

That said, I feel like the news coverage is hyperbole. “Targeted because of their race” & “slaves”. What makes them think this child abuse was targeted because of races? How were they used as “slaves”? Yard work? Chores?

According to the Daily mail only 3 of the adopted kids were black. We’re only those three “targeted because race” and used as “slaves”?



“A wealthy white West Virginia couple have been accused of forcing their adopted black children to work as slaves and live inside a locked barn.

Donald Ray Lantz, 63, and Jeanne Kay Whitefeather, 62 of Charleston, West Virginia, plead not guilty on Tuesday to multiple new charges after their kids were found locked in a dilapidated shed after allegedly laboring on the surrounding farmland…..

…..'Human rights violations specific to the fact that these children were targeted because of their race and they were used basically as slaves from what the indictment alleges.'

The minors involved were aged 16, 14, 11, nine, and six. The indictment suggests that three of the adopted children were black…..”

Lot of funny people on this board

You say “people that abuse kids are the worst”

Then you post a video that shows that these people did just that

Then you say “ That said, I feel like the news coverage is hyperbole”

Damn you guys are hilarious

Seems like an upgrade.

Indeed, a realtor's description of the barn would be "rustic, open, and airy with room to expand".

I asked some straight forward questions. What evidence is there that these jerks were “targeting” black kids for “slavery”? Got an answer for that Einstein? Or do you just drink down whatever they tell you?

Two different things can be true at the same time. They can be child abusing jerks and the media can be sensationalizing the story.

So, these two had five “slaves” yet their yard looked like that?

So, this happened 8 months ago but the sensational “slavery” headlines didn’t start until this past month. I did find this from October -

“According to reporting from West Virginia Watch, Stacy Miller said she called CPS numerous times.

“They had these kids working, I hate to say it, like slaves,” she said.

Miller said she never heard back from CPS, despite numerous calls. “No one ever contacted me,” she said.”

Lawmakers question CPS handling of Sissonville case involving children locked in barn

They were however charged with “civil rights violations based on race”. I haven’t found the court documents anywhere….

A bit more information:

Indictment alleges West Virginia couple used adopted Black children as 'slaves,' judge says

A couple in West Virginia is set for trial later this year after some of their adopted children were found locked in a shed.

A couple arrested after some of their adopted children were found locked in a shed at their West Virginia home are set for trial later this year on charges that a judge said involved their use as “slaves.”

Donald Ray Lantz and Jeanne Kay Whitefeather face trial later this year after they were arraigned on 16 counts each accusing them of civil rights violations, human trafficking, forced labor, gross child neglect and falsifying an application seeking a public defender. All but one of the counts are felonies.

Lantz and Whitefeather are white. Four children whose initials are in the indictment are Black.

The indictment said Lantz and Whitefeather forced, threatened and interfered with “the free exercise and enjoyment of any right and privilege” of the four children.

Kanawha County Assistant Prosecutor Madison Tuck said Wednesday that while she couldn’t answer questions about specific details, “I would just say that because the indictment includes a civil rights violation, that there’s definitely a racial element to the case.”
Akers ruled the bonds for each of the defendants was insufficient and ordered them increased from $200,000 to $500,000 cash only.
