  • In Georgia, a 10-year-old child was found walking by himself when he was noticed by his neighbors, who asked if he was okay. The hungry boy responded that he was going to the store to get food and didn’t want to go back home, prompting the neighbors to report it. Later, authorities were shocked to find out that the child was living in horrendous conditions. Annie Elise has all the shocking details and the full story on 10 to LIFE.

I have him in other programs outside the school 4 times a week. I believe parents that homeschool their kids should be REQUIRED to send their kids to programs outside the home. Not only for protection just for social interaction. But that's just what I believe.

      Personally I don’t think harsher punishments is the answer. Whoever would do this to a child wouldn’t not do it if It meant more jail time. I think the main thing is setting up some kind of system to check up on homeschooled children. That’s a common thing because kids that attend school are noticed fairly quickly. If I’m not mistaken the last 3 public cases like this involved kids that were supposed to be home schooled.

    Thank you to the woman who helped, called to police. Didn’t let the mom have him back when she went out looking. Didn’t take their lies at face value. Too many times others “don’t wanna get involved in family issues” these are babies, it’s our job as adults to protect them from harm! Sadly sometimes that harm comes from the parents. Makes me think of that one family, the Hearts I believe? Two women with a bunch of adopted kids they liked to parade around for views while staring and abusing them. Those kids were failed by everyone and they paid with their lives because others didn’t want to intrude. Sometimes we must!

    CPS needs to do random surprise visits on these homes to ensure that these kids are being treated and cared for properly. Raising five children is a rough job for any parent. When people start adopting so many children and then homeschooling them while at the same time running a business. There’s no way that would even be possible. At least one the parents would have to stay home full-time to school their children. If that’s not a red flag, then I don’t know what it is.

      @@hejkoIt’s just because these are the cases you hear about. We adopted several children, we homeschool and are Christians. With all of the foster, adoption training and anti-human trafficking training we have done - there is crazy abuse going on in many many homes which is why there are so many kids in foster care and end up being trafficked as well. I get the narrative about “devout religious” and “homeschool” combined as red flags - but it’s really because these are the ones you just happen to hear about - there are many many cases of abuse in non-religious and in-schooled children that go unnoticed for too long. This story is horrific along with the Ruby Franke case and Turpins. I’m in tears. I’m just saying all of this to say - don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. The main take away - is be aware of those around you and say something that doesn’t seem right. I’m much much more aware and have even taken action because of the training we have had. Abuse is everywhere. See something. Say something.

In this case, the question es why. If the parents had food, if they knew that you cannot let a child starve, and can’t ever let a child locked in a room for hours or days, and did it anyway, and starved their son almost to death, it sounds like sadism.I don’t know if in the US the courts order psycological and psiquiatric evaluation, but in this case it would be important.
