West Virginia couple sentenced to maximum of decades in prison for abusing adopted children
....
The oldest girl, now 18, addressed the court directly, telling Whitefeather, “I’ll never understand how you can sleep at night. I want you to know that you are a monster.”
Akers previously ordered news outlets not to publish the children’s names or use their images.
The couple, who are white, adopted the five Black siblings while living in Minnesota, moved to a farm in Washington state in 2018, then brought the family to West Virginia in May 2023, when the children ranged in age from 5 to 16.
Five months after their arrival in Sissonville, the couple was arrested after neighbors saw Lantz lock the oldest girl and her teenage brother in a shed and leave the property. A deputy used a crowbar to get them out.
