An Indiana couple was arrested for allegedly neglecting, abusing, and abandoning a 13-year-old boy they adopted after they reportedly decided they no longer wanted him to live in their home.

According to reports, a married couple who live in LaPorte County with two children decided to adopt a child. The young teen was the eldest of the three kids living with the pair. Approximately six months ago, the adopted teen reportedly developed a behavioral problem that affected the other family members.

On July 5, someone called the Department of Child Services and reported the parents for alleged abuse and neglect. They were reportedly told that all three children were being hit with belts as punishment and that the teen took the brunt of the alleged abuse. The caller let them know that they believed the boy was being forced to live in a trailer outside the house in the winter and was not properly fed.

A lawyer in Texas who runs an adoption agency was arrested when the authorities reported that they found she was trying to purchase unborn babies from prison inmates.

According to reports, earlier this summer, the authorities in Tarrant County opened an investigation to determine whether pregnant inmates in the county jail had been in contact with a woman asking to adopt their babies. They believed the party offered illegal compensation while trying to strongarm some of the expectant mothers into agreeing to the arrangement.

The arrest warrant states that the investigation led them to interactions between the 68-year-old woman, who founded Adoptions International, Inc.. This agency operates worldwide and helps to match orphaned infants with adoptive parents. They also learned that the agency’s accreditation was canceled in 2019 due to a failure to comply with standards.
