Hart Family, Which Drove Off Cliff, Hid Dark Home Life From View
New York Times ^ | APRIL 27, 2018 | MATT STEVENS

After Jennifer Hart drunkenly drove a sport utility vehicle straight off a 100-foot cliff on the Northern California coast late last month, taking her life and those of her wife and their adopted children, at least two searches began.

One was for the missing bodies; another was for answers. How, those who knew the Harts wondered, could a family that looked so happy and normal in photos have hidden such a dark life from public view?

Dozens of pages of reports released this week by child-welfare officials offer some clues. Taken together they paint a portrait of a pair of mothers — one dictatorial and eccentric, the other constantly working and seldom home — who doled out cruel punishments and perennially withheld food from their six children.

In the Hart household, any act of insubordination could be severely punished. The children knew this all too well.

“They are like trained robots,” one worried caller told the authorities, according to the newly released documents, which describe the family’s dynamics.

Family’s Fatal Plunge Off Cliff May Have Been Intentional, Authorities Say APRIL 2, 2018

Devonte Hart, Boy in Famous Photo, Feared Dead With Family in S.U.V. Plunge MARCH 29, 2018 “We called them like little soldiers,” one former neighbor said of the children.

In the weeks since the crash, searchers have fanned out along the Pacific coastline looking for the bodies. They have found those of the parents — Jennifer and Sarah Hart, both 38 — and four of their six children: Markis, 19; Jeremiah, 14; Abigail, 14; and Ciera, 12.

Quote: “These women discarded an inconvenient foster kid as soon as they got ahold of their first set of black trophies. Then they spent their days virtue-signaling, even to the point of forcing their incarcerated charges to carry around “Love Wins” signs to festivals and protests. When the kids tried to escape, the social workers turned a blind eye to their misery. Even after the mass murder, their benighted leftist friends were posting tributes to their “love.”

WINNER! WINNER! CHICKEN DINNER!

You pegged it!

Doesn’t a woman having a “wife” already point to serious darkness?

That photo always looked like a wordless cry for help to me. How desperately he seemed to cling but his face showed no hop.

It makes you wonder if the “famous photo” of Devonte Hart hugging the policeman wasn’t, as the liberals like to say, “a cry for help”.

Precisely. Well done.

I’d debate the “happy and normal”. They wore Bernie shirts in one photo I saw. Nobody that supports a commie is happy or normal!

Why do we cringe in fear when faced with the truth? The two lesbians aren ‘t ultimately responsible for the fate of the six children. Our society is. We permit the legalization of same-sex marriage. This was not a family. It was an arrangement to satisfy the needs of the two women and never about the children. I do not know what the needs were, but they were not met. This resulted in the murder of the children. It was always about the two perverts and never about the children.

Yes, the social workers would rather sacrifice 6 trophy kids than offend a pair of lesbians. What a sad mess.

Everyone is ultimately responsible for their own actions, including the sexual deviants who murdered these babies.

“...lesbian couples are better parents....”

BULLSHIRT! Everyone knows that not having a FATHER at home is a detriment to a family.

There was a time (actually most of the time) in our Nations history when perverts, the mentally ill, criminals, etc. could not legally adopt or foster children. Years of liberal activism changed that and now we reap the results!

Mentally disturbed lesbian caucasians allowed to adopt several black children who they intentionally mass murder. Who are the social service morons who approved these adoptions?

Yep, you just cringed. CPS saw and knew yet they did nothing to protect the children. Nothing will happen to the case-workers. They are protected by the dereliction of the people (society) who pay their salaries.

Our society refers to the two women as gays. I never met a single homosexual that was happy. We can refer to the six children as VICTIMS with absolute certainty. They in no way were responsible for their fate.

Was that actually a “family?” I don’t think so. It was a group but not a family.

I always though it was a staged PR stunt.

Lesbians are EXEMPT.They must be deemed FIT to be “parents” because they are a protected class of feral animals. Their methods of reproduction must not be disrupted as that might lead to extinction of the species.

“Manson” moms!

Only rotten fruit comes from a rotten tree!

If any of those children escaped the perverted and sick environment in which they were forced to live (thanks to a sick, perverted child “protective” agency) it would have been a miracle, IMHO.
