A California couple were taken into custody after investigators found they had 21 children from surrogate mothers as part of a suspected trafficking ring.
Guojun Xuan, 65, and Silvia Zhang, 38, were arrested for felony child endangerment this week after cops descended on their $4.1 million home in Arcadia.
Inside, they found the couple's huge brood of children which included 17 toddlers aged three or under.
Police were initially responding to reports of a two-month-old suffering a traumatic head injury, before search warrant on the home reportedly revealed that they were caring for 15 children inside, aged between two months and 13-years-old.
Detectives said six other children had also been moved to other homes. All 21 children were taken into the custody of Department of Children and Family Services.
Xuan and Zhang were later released and have not been officially charged. Cops also issued an arrest warrant for their nanny Chunmei Li, 56.
Investigators said security cameras inside the home allegedly revealed Li was abusing the children, while questions remain over why Xuan and Zhang bore so many children through surrogacy.
Although having dozens of children through surrogates is not illegal, officials said they are investigating the startling find inside the home.
Kallie Fell, executive director of the nonprofit Center of Bioethics and Culture, told ABC7 that while the couple may not have broken the law by having so many surrogate children, the situation 'smells of trafficking.'
It is unclear what the couple do for work, with public records showing they are connected to a number of investment firms
Arcadia police Lt. Kollin Cieadlo said that the couple 'took legal guardianship of those kids' after they were born through surrogates, before Li allegedly abused the children as their nanny.

Yeah, if it wasn’t for the age gap this would never have happened. Journalists? ๐๐
The kids were for sale.
I wonder if the children were also Chinese . . . or were they dealing in white children? (You know none of them were black, unless they were being raised for food.)
(reporting/no meaningful details AND situation).
Sounds like.
These are trigger words for Gen-Z to whom age gap discourse is a really important subject to address and for whom any age gap greater than two years is "literal grooming" and "pedo coded" even if the participants are all legal, consenting adults.
HARVESTING HER EGGS & USING HIS SPERM?????
after having TWENTY ONE children by surrogates...17 of whom are toddlers
17 of the surrogates are toddlers??
Especially if the oldest is a boomer. Gen-Z HATES boomers.
Guojun Xuan, 65, and Silvia Zhang, 38
He is late-gen boomer, she is mid-to-late-gen millennial.
Gen-Z can solve all the world’s problems!
Guess I’m a perv since Mrs rktman and I are 16 years difference. ๐ค๐๐
Guojun Xuan, 65, and Silvia Zhang, 38:
Most likely creating little American citizens with "birthright citizenship." Then they can sell them.
Came over on the Mayflower.
Interesting that these stories get more coverage by the UK daily mail than in American media. It is a disgusting situation.
My first thought was human trafficking.
Bingo. And being raised for sex trade.
Whole new definition of Madam.
‘Merica!
Chinese ‘Merica!
I’ve heard of the disgusting practice of puppy mills but toddler mills. That’s in the outer limits. And for trafficking? These people need to be behind bars ASAP. That’s not parenting. And these babies are being used for nefarious purposes.
Bet there state aid was a big one?.
