A white couple from rural West Virginia is back behind bars after a judge revoked the initial bond and raised it to $500,000 apiece — more than double the amount they faced last year when police arrested the pair on charges of locking their adopted Black children in a barn and forcing them to work as “slaves.”
Donald Ray Lantz, 63, and Jeanne Kay Whitefeather, 62, both of Sissonville, were ordered to reappear in Kahanwha County Court on June 11, more than eight months after each posted a $200,000 bond following their arrests in October.
At the time, police conducting a wellness check at the Cheyanne Lane home were shocked to discover two of the couple’s five adopted children living in deplorable conditions, padlocked inside a ramshackle storage shed on the back of the property, which had no working lights or running water.
Seriously, who wants to bet these people were conservative republican voters, probably trump supporters. I’d also bet they were members/followers of the christian religion.
I dont care if I get downvoted. It’s blatantly obvious there is a strong correlation between these types of people leaning conservative and christian, and it needs to be mentioned and talked about more often.
Sure they are. Conservative christians have insane ideas about parenting.
Same people who want to “protect children”.
Protecting the kids for them has always been about wanting more slaves, whether in for profit prisons or minimum wage jobs, or in unpaid work programs.
Disgusting crazy fucks…
There’s a special, extra-fuckin-hot area of space in Hell for worthless pieces of shit like this. Typically, I find the death penalty to be a bit too much, but for these two chunks of fetid rat shit, I feel like I could be pretty easily convinced to support an exception here… ideally if it’s in a similar way to how they treated those poor children.
Death penalty is too expensive. Just put them in Genpop and let everyone know what they did and then look away while Nature takes its course.
Anyone who abuses a child should get life in prison, no question. Also anyone who does not vaccinate their children barring medical circumstances should have them removed by CPS. Those are my ironclad opinions.
Well CPS kinda sucks and famously ignores abuse so not the best idea
Well I would also revamp CPS.
The whole CPS system is seriously broken. Society fails these kids, who then often go on to a life of crime and abusing their own kids, and so it continues.
Reason #978 why conservatives should not be allowed near children.
