Adopted Girl Forced to Dig Her Own Grave

While many American parents adopt kids from overseas, sometimes they are not prepared for dealing with the cultural or emotional adjustment that these children go through, and end up sending them to new caretakers in a process called "re-homing." Many times the new caretaker involved is simply someone met over the internet. Many of them are downright abusive:

Quote
A Tennessee woman says that when her adoptive parents gave her away to new parents at age 14, she and 17 other adoptive kids in her “nightmarish” new home were sometimes forced to dig their own “graves” in the backyard and scrub the floor with toothbrushes.

“’Get out and go dig your own grave,” Nora Gateley, now 26, says her new mother told her. “’I don’t care if you die. Nobody will find you. You were not even here in the first place.”

Quote
She says she soon found she had to take care of the younger kids, many with special needs, and that Debra had harsh methods of discipline. She claims there was beating in the house, and she was sometimes forced to stay up all night or scrub floors with a toothbrush.

Nora had to wear a brace on her leg for her polio, and says that Debra would sometimes take it away. “She took my brace numerous times … as punishment. So I [couldn’t] walk.”

“She said, ‘You can run away for all I care and I’ll let the coyotes out there eat you,’ ” recalled Nora. “’Nobody knows you were here anyway.’”

Fortunately, the "mother" was later caught and convicted:

Quote
As soon as the girls were in her car they began crying and telling her everything.

Dvorak gave Nora and her adoptive sister a tape recorder, and in secret, away from the cameras, they recorded their version of events. When Dvorak heard the tape, she says she “just about physically got sick.” She gave the tape to the police, who went to the Schmitz home with a search warrant.

The Tennessee Department of Children’s Services determined that seven of the 18 children they took from the home did not legally belong to the Schmitzes. Eleven did, including a biological child of the Schmitzes, and Nora, who by then had been legally adopted.

In 2006, Debra pleaded no contest to 14 counts of child abuse and one count of trafficking. She was sentenced to six months in jail and put on probation. The case against Tom Schmitz, now her ex-husband, was expunged. He couldn’t be reached for comment.

Oh, and this is just the first of a series on the issues of "re-homing." Prepare for all your faith in humanity to be destroyed.

Correction made. We're not the best species in this world when it comes to caring for offspring.

I'm just going to go to my happy place, which right now is a reenactment of "A Death In The Family" starring her as Jason Todd and me as The Joker.
What I used to think was me is just a fading memory. I looked him right in the eye and said "Goodbye".

I've been playing too much Skyrim, because I'm suddenly reminded of Grelod the Kind.

And those of you who have played Skyrim know what happens to Grelod the Kind.

Normally I don't call for blood, but my mind refuses to think of a reason why this would be a bad idea.

Because if we started killing child abusers/molesters/sellers we'd turn into a police state. Somehow.

Fuck these parents. Tons of people have negative views of fostering and adoption because of people like this. And it's hard to imagine how shit like this can happen, because in my sister's case, she had to check in with social services frequently and go to hell and back to prove she was taking proper care of her children. The parents in this story should have never been able to get to this point.
Guys, this is getting creepy. Can we talk about cannibalism instead?

Probably a case of different jurisdictions, different standards (or the same standards, but not the money to enforce them).

It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

This piece of shit only got six months in jail + probation? She traumatized dozens of kids for life, for fuck's sake. Bitch deserves at least a decade, plus an order not to be allowed alone with any children once she gets out.

Literally no one in the previous ten thousand debates we've had on the subject said it would turn us into a police state. Can we please not start this again, and just agree to disagree?

Probably because too many people would resort to mob justice, innocent people would be murdered, etc.

History is full of maniacs, my friend, men and women of intelect, highly perceptive individuals, who's brilliant minds know neither restraint nor taboo. Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.

Seriously, STFU about the whole "You guys are monsters for not wanting to kill them" bullshit. Think before you fucking post.

Correction made. We're not the best species in this world when it comes to caring for offspring.

We're certainly ahead of the curve compared to a lot of animals. Those who casually kill and/or eat their own family members are in the minority, for instance. Or those who murder their desired mate's kids so they can try to bone her instead.
Still can't think of a signature a year later.

I was going to say that we treat our pets better than this. I never heard of "re-homing" up until now and from what it sounds like... it's very much illegal. I got to wonder what people like Debra get out of taking in kids because from the article, this woman had children there that weren't even legally adopted.
