But while the report provides a lot of disturbing details about the degree of physical and emotional abuse, it poses more questions than offers answers, and paints a gruesome portrait of the parents, who beat and starved and gaslighted their children before murdering them all, and committing suicide.

Tell me about it. I’m in Coos Bay.
When I was in high school back in the 80’s a boy I was in school with called the SC Department of Social Services on his dad after his dad spanked him for coming in drunk and late on a school night. The father was after that afraid to try and discipline him. My buddy and I tried that on our fathers- mine was an engineer for the state and her dad was a prosecuting attorney for our county. They both told us if we ever called DSS on them the next thing we needed to do was to call 911 and ask for the coroner to come to our house. Both men (we did this together so our dads were in the same room) told us that if we thought they were going to jail for disciplining us we’d better think again. If they were going to go to be arrested then they were going to make it worth their while, and we were going to find out what real abuse was like. And, they added in no uncertain terms were we to even think about trying to run our households. Needless to say we never even mentioned the letters DSS together in our houses.
Geez. What a garbage article.
You’d have to go very far to find a more corrupt state when it comes to family law.
At least as far as Illinois.
” Our child welfare system was inadequate to the task of identifying them as such in time. “
Child welfare is complicit in this.
That is an enormous brush you’re using, Miz Patton.
Is the Desdemona Club still open?
Always wanted to go in that place, or is that in Astoria?
Think the media and the left will hold two lezzies responsible for their actions? Not gonna happen.
That is EXACTLY the reason, but a leftist race-baiting magazine is not going to say it.
Collecting the whole set as a form of Virtue Signalling.
That’s in Astoria.
The biggest concern this *opinion* piece seemed to have was that the wacko women were white. Not that they were mentally ill lesbians protected by a sick, leftist PC culture in the welfare system.
Can white women raise black children? My lily white SIL (in her 50s at the time she got them) took in as fosters 3 black crack babies at the same time, all less than 2 weeks old (and a 4th white baby of the same age). She fully adopted all of them when they were young. 3 are now out of high school, 1 is very autistic, so she will always be taking care of him.
These young men are super tight with their white cousins. Over the years they have thanked her many times for working so hard to give them the opportunity in life that they have. They are acutely aware of how their lives would have been had a 53 yo white woman had not adopted them. It has been interesting watching them grow up over the years.
Neither she, nor anyone else in our extended family ever gave a hoot about race.
Also, she handled many foster babies, at one point 12 babies because the system had nowhere for them. Over the years some of the absurdity she endured dealing with the foster care system was just crazy & sad.
Thanks. It hurts. A lot.
I think I became a “conservative” because I believe in individual liberty and the sanctity of life.
Conservatives smile when they hear those words.
Leftists give you the hairy eyeball and “wonder what you’re getting at.”
I know where I belong.
May the LORD Bless JR, Free Republic, and our delicate community.

“Collecting the whole set as a form of Virtue Signalling.”
You got that right!
Your story offers some insight, ‘Hatred of Men’.
I can imagine that rape could traumatize the psyche to the point that murder would be thought justified. Many criminals think they are somehow justified in their crimes because something similar happened to them.
Crime begets crime, creates a cycle that must be broken.
The article may not be far off. Investigative blogger Liz Crokin says these two had a history of pedophilia and human trafficking. Liz is right more often than not.
When a little girl goes to the neighbor’s house at 2 in the morning to beg for food it’s not because they were sent to their room without supper for just one night over some behavioral issue like deliberately flushing mom’s jewelry down the toilet.
When you’re dragging your very young adopted kids to political demonstrations to use as human props it’s because your priorities are selfish ones or virtue-signalling. Kids aren’t appropriate activism tools.
The neighbors told the media about the past stories of abuse and neglect right after the “mothers” killed them all. At the time of that photo, of course, they were the Ideal Liberal “family”... lesbian moms with black children. No evil white hetero- males need to be around for a happy home!!!
