West Virginia couple charged with trafficking their adopted Black children to be used as ‘slaves,’ authorities allege | CNNwww.cnn.com Two West Virginia parents are awaiting trial on more than a dozen charges after adopting four Black children and allegedly using them for “forced labor” on their farm, court documents show.

I vehemently oppose "x years at hard labor" sentences but if we're going to have them at all these are who they're for.

These people should spend the rest of their days digging holes and then filling them back in.

I'd be happy with one set of holes

With the same number of authorized water breaks agricultural workers get.

While living in a locked closet with no toilet.

Ready for this to go to the supreme court and watch the conservatives say it's ok, because according to an originalist interpretation of the constitution, slavery was legal.

I don’t want to “like” this, but man… that sounds a little too plausible.

Is slavery even a crime in Florida anymore? I just assume DeSantis had made it legal again.

Just when I think my fellow citizens could not let me down any further.

You knows as well as I from experience that there’s no upside in adopting kids if you can’t get any work out of them

The 10 Commandments were posted, and there were Bible readings every day, so, it's fine.

That would result in a much harsher sentence.

I hope this case never makes it to the inappropriately named Supreme Court.

Man you’d think Bill Gates had enough money to pay the kids a good wage
