Jeanne Whitefeather and Donald Lantz, a couple from Sissonville, West Virginia, were sentenced for the severe abuse of their five adopted children. Convicted of human trafficking, forced labor, and child neglect, they faced decades of imprisonment, with Whitefeather receiving up to 215 years and Lantz up to 160 years. The judge emphasized the couple's effort to find an isolated place for their abuse was met with a community that stood against such actions. This case illustrates the grave realities surrounding child abuse and the justice that can prevail in its aftermath.
This court will now put you in yours. And may God have mercy on your souls, because this court will not.
What they found instead was a state of people who will not tolerate the abuse of children of any race.
