Many good prospective parents try for years to adopt a child. So when a story like this happens, it is that much more horrifying, that 2 children had to experience this and also had to miss out on a good home. Let’s see what happened.
NBC News reports:
A Georgia couple is facing charges in connection to allegedly “engaging in sexually abuse acts and video documenting the abuse,” with their two adoptive children, according to the Walton County Sheriff’s Office.
William and Zachary Zulock were booked in Walton County Jail following an investigation and are facing aggravated child molestation and sexual exploitation of children charges, officials said.
The investigation kicked off on the afternoon of July 27, when investigators with the Walton County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division learned that an individual was downloading child sexual abuse material. After speaking to the individual, investigators were told about another suspect who “was producing homemade child sexual abuse material with at least one child who lived in the home with the perpetrator,” according to a press release from the sheriff’s office.
After confirming the identities of the children and the alleged perpetrators, detectives executed a search warrant at a home in Oxford, Georgia that night.
“A small team was dedicated to moving directly to the children to ensure their safety while a team engaged with the adults in the home, securing the scene,” officials said. “During the execution of the search warrant, evidence that both adult males–the adoptive fathers of the sibling pair residing in the home–were engaging in sexually abuse acts and video documenting this abuse.”
There is an elephant in the room that no one wants to mention but everyone has noticed, and it’s that this is a gay couple. It took many years for gay people to even be allowed to adopt and it was because of concerns like this. Of course, not all gay couples abuse children, and plenty of heterosexual couples have, but this will certainly not help gay couples adopt in the future. What are your thoughts about this?
