They better be charged for a hate crime.

they should be. they’ve been charged with human trafficking of children, civil rights violations, use of a minor child in forced labor, and child neglect.

the children adopted are 6, 9, 11, 14, and 16.

absolutely heinous behavior, these motherfuckers were basically running a plantation. they have better conditions in jail than those babies kept in a shed, only let out for manual labor.
