A wealthy white couple from West Virginia is facing disturbing charges after allegedly keeping their adopted black children as slaves. Donald Ray Lantz, 63, and Jeanne Kay Whitefeather, 62, pleaded not guilty to multiple charges after two teens were found locked in a crumbling shed in poor conditions.
The couple’s five adopted children, aged 6, 9, 11, 14, and 16, were discovered living in deplorable conditions on their property. The indictment against Lantz and Whitefeather alleges that the children were forced to work on the couple’s farmland because of their race.
The case has shocked the community and even the judge, Maryclaire Akers, who said it was one of the worst she has ever seen. The couple now faces new charges, adding to the already troubling allegations.
This story serves as a reminder of the ongoing issues of racism and exploitation that continue to plague our society. It is essential to address and confront these injustices to ensure the safety and well-being of all individuals, regardless of their race or background.
