Five members of an Amite family were accused in federal court Thursday (July 26) of kidnapping and holding a 22-year-old autistic relative captive for roughly 10 months, padlocked in a shed and then in a makeshift backyard cage, and subjecting her to a range of humiliations and abuse that included shooting her with a BB gun, covering her with the contents of the family's septic tank and forcing her to eat her recently deceased mother's cremated remains from a cereal bowl.
The family, often at the direction of 42-year-old matriarch Raylaine Knope, also withheld the victim's Social Security benefits and forced her to perform house work and yard work with no compensation and, often, in a demeaning manner. They also ordered her to make sexual advances to several men in a sex-trafficking scheme, the indictment alleges.
Along with Raylaine Knope, the six-count indictment charges her husband, 45-year-old Terry J. Knope II, and their children, 23-year-old Jody Lambert and 20-year-old Taylor Knope, in the "forced labor" conspiracy. Lambert is Raylaine Knope's son and Taylor Knope is Terry Knope II's daughter. Court documents did not specify how the victim is related to her alleged tormenters.
The horrific abuse began in August 2015, roughly a day after the Aug. 12, 2015 death of the victim's mother, according to court records.
In August 2015, the four accused abusers, along with their 22-year-old victim, moved from the Kentwood home shared with the victim's late mother to a mobile home in the 57500 block of Rushing Lane. The abuse continued through June 2016, according to the federal accusations.

I saw you posted an article when this was initially discovered to have occurred. Well they have been charged now.
Some people just need killin’................................
Wow. Is Amite related to Amish?
Why can’t we just kill them now and be done with it.
Apparently it’s just the name of a town in Louisiana

Amite is a township in La.
Satanic!
It’s pronounced A-meat-ta. It’s French for Ron Jeremy.
I think, as an alternative to killing, having them saw off their extremities and eat them for be an appropriate punishment.
We need to bring back public executions for these sort of scumbags,
Some crimes are so horrendous, the culprits should be humiliated and executed righteously in formt of the entire community
I could not read the article w/o disabling my Ad Blocker.
In California, we have Child Protective Services and Adult Protective Services. In the Northern Bay, we have Golden Gate Regional Center, that will appoint advocates for elderly or disabled adults. Why was no one checking on this young woman?
The article says she was getting benefit checks. That sounds like SSI. I suppose it can happen, where someone is completely overlooked. The horrible family members probably pretended to be her caregivers, and nobody ever challenged them on it. No body ever asked if they were really qualified to care for her. Did anyone ever interview this young woman alone and ask her how she felt about things? Or were those Quarterly Reports faked too? Sad!!
Oh duh. Thanks.
Thanks.

Appears to clearly be a case of demon possession. Exorcism capsules should be immediately administered at 1300+fps to clear the problem.
Charming Bunch...
It appears if all 5 IQs were totaled, it may add up to 80. Ignorance and evil are often bedfellows.
