A white West Virginia couple found guilty of forcing their five adopted Black children to work as "slaves" on their farm were sentenced to hundreds of years in prison.

Jeanne Kay Whitefeather, 63, was sentenced Wednesday to 215 years in prison. Her husband, Donald Lantz, 64, received 160 years.

“You brought these kids to West Virginia, a place as I know as almost heaven and put them in hell,” Circuit Court Judge MaryClaire Akers said.

An indictment alleged that the couple targeted the children for forced labor because of their race. They were charged with human trafficking, child neglect, forced labor, and other crimes.

What the actual fuck? These people are always caught because they just can't help but be cruel.

I'm sure West Virginia would look the other way if the kids were well fed and treated humanely. There's probably even carve-outs in current law for kids working on family farms.
