In 2020, a Central Florida foster family was able to adopt eight children who had been removed from their homes by the state's Department of Children and Families " despite the fact the foster parents had been investigated 18 times by that department, suggesting their home was a troubled place, not a safe haven, for the kids.
Over the next six years, DCF would investigate the foster family 37 more times, based on concerns about the children voiced by relatives, medical professionals, counselors and school employees.
The agency documented alleged physical and sexual abuse, along with "bizarre punishment" and "parental hallucinations," according to a recently released grand jury report.
But DCF did little to help the youngsters and did not permanently remove them from the home until early this year when the father was arrested for alleged sexual offenses against the eldest.

Sen. Jon Husted fired his campaign's political director Friday after discovering the staffer had posted Nazi imagery on social media and made playlists of songs celebrating Rhodesia, an unrecognized south African state often touted by white supremacists. Stephen Woytek, who joined the Ohio Republican's campaign last month, had posted profile photos depicting Nazi officers on his Facebook page and published links to a military reenactment group whose members dress up as Nazi officers. Woytek himself is pictured wearing the attire with the members of the group in photos from 2018, when he was 16 years old, according to The Washington Post, which first reported the social media activity earlier Friday. A campaign spokesperson described Woytek as a "lieutenant in the U.S. Army" who studies military history and routinely "reenacts historical battles," but said that Husted "quickly" opted to remove him from his staff after learning of the posts.

On this day 53 years ago, CIA-backed General Augusto Pinochet overthrew the democratically elected government of socialist Salvador Allende in Chile, leading to the deaths of an estimated 40,018 innocent victims during his 17 year Reign of Terror, including Nobel Prize laureate Pablo Neruda.

Kalie Robins was driving along with one of her daughters in the back seat of her car last week, the two of them singing a song together. She posted the video to Instagram, with her child's face concealed so she isn't identifiable -- or so she thought.
Following the fall of the Third Reich, US Army General Dwight D. Eisenhower and US Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr instituted a plan to De-Nazify the massive German industrial base. But the efforts of their ardent investigators, auditors, and analysts were stifled, halted, and blunted every step of the way. Opposed by Wall Street, US banks, corporations, and the oligarchs, as well as US Army General George S. Patton, the vast post-war German industrial base remained basically intact and rebuilt as a bulwark against Soviet Russia and a source of steady future profits for American and West German elites.
"The Fraternity" fought this plan tooth-and-nail.Read more
John Malkovich has canceled a planned performance in Israel after promoters circulated a quote attributed to the American actor that he said was completely false. A recent press release quoted Malkovich as saying: "I am thrilled to return to Israel and am looking forward to meeting the warm Israeli audience once again, to whom I feel a strong closeness and solidarity." The quote appeared in some Israeli and U.S. media outlets. Malkovich told The Hollywood Reporter that he "never made the statements that were quoted, nor was I consulted before they were printed." "I did not utter these phrases, and they most certainly are not approved by me, nor do they reflect my feelings," he said. "For this reason, I have decided I cannot participate in the Tel Aviv performance." Read more
