Four adults from a Florida family with multiple adopted children were arrested for allegedly locking them in cages and physically and sexually abusing them while providing proper care to their biological kids.

According to reports, a family from Arizona with five biological children often provided foster care for youths in need. They also privately adopted four children, the youngest of whom is 7, and the oldest is 16. The family recently moved into a trailer in Columbia County, Florida, with their sizeable family. While at a church camp near their new residence, one of the children reportedly got caught with a Taser, and when the parents were told, they said it was a toy. An official reported the incident to the authorities, and the investigation that followed reportedly uncovered a disturbing situation.

When the police talked to someone from the church who had visited the family’s home, the individual reported to child welfare that what they saw led them to believe the adopted children were being abused by the parents and two adult family members. They listed multiple reasons for their assertions, including that the adopted children did not receive proper education, were unaware of their last names and birthdays, appeared to be forced to perform labor, and were not treated as part of the family.

A North Carolina man was arrested after several underage guests were found drinking alcohol at a party with thousands of attendees that was held on his 30-acre farm.

On May 2, a party was held at Smokehouse Valley Farm in Cedar Grove with approximately 2,500 guests, and it caused several problems in the community. The attendees parked in the neighborhood near the venue, some in front of residential driveways, and multiple people living in the surrounding area found they were unable to leave their homes. It was reported that 911 received calls regarding the event from more than 75 people, some of whom needed medical help, including one woman who went into labor.

Many law enforcement officers were dispatched to the scene, along with first responders, and they reported that they had trouble navigating through the cars and people in the streets. The Sheriff’s Office reported that they found the partygoers had “obstructed driveways, left automobiles in the yards of neighboring property owners, and [that] intoxicated individuals wandered between vehicles snarled in traffic.” When they were located, several individuals were taken to hospitals for treatment.
