Although I do not believe it is necessary, at all, to specify, in any report, the 'adopted' term for their child [as adopted is their child, and to me, it seems to demean that status in some way], this is a reprehensible act[s] - it is not only a horrific crime, a violent crime, but it also goes to the very heart of affecting love, trust, security - all ingredients that children are entitled to have.
What you said. But I think they point out that the child was adopted to point up that some people think of adoption as an avenue for human trafficking.
I am both a biological and adoptive mother, and at times it irritates me when someone says you adopted daughter, rather than just daughter. They don't call him my caesarean son!
BUT in this case I understand why and it SICKENS ME! It also seems as though, and I don't know this for sure, but he may have adopted the boys for this odious purpose! So this is especially terrible.
I know exactly what you mean! This makes it even more disturbing.And no offense taken.
I concur, in this case [referencing possibility of adopting a child for the purposes of horrendous exploitation - denegrating purposes]...and yes, it makes it quadrupically [is that a word ], more egregious --- disgusting, reprehensible and is there any reason why we cannot be on THAT jury!
The adoptive father of three young children in Troy, Ohio, was charged Thursday with raping three of his adopted sons and prostituting his 10-year-old son out to two other men.
The man, 39, who CNN is not naming to protect the identity of the children, is in jail on rape charges along with Jason Zwick, 29, and Patrick Rieder, 31, according to Montgomery County Prosecutor spokesman Greg Flannagan.
"It's just shocking," Flannagan said.
Troy police said they impounded the father's truck and confiscated four laptops, a video camera and two wooden paddles from his home The man does not appear to have a past criminal record, had adopted three children and was in the process of adopting a fourth child who already lived with him, Police Capt. Chris Anderson said.
The children were three boys ages 9 through 12 and a 9-year-old girl, he said.
Anderson said the boy who was allegedly prostituted to Zwick and Rieder told authorities that he was afraid to talk because he didn't want to be taken away from his new brothers and sister.
On February 24, police said they received a call from the state's internet crimes task force saying the father had offered an undercover officer sex with a boy. The man was arrested that day, police said.
"I've seen a lot of bad things in 35 years of law enforcement," said Attorney General Mike DeWine. "But I've never seen anything like this."
He said authorities are now "trying to unravel what kind of background check was done."
The defendants' attorneys could not be immediately reached for comment.

I cannot even imagine what the defense would use in such a case --
Although I do not believe it is necessary, at all, to specify, in any report, the 'adopted' term for their child [as adopted is their child, and to me, it seems to demean that status in some way], this is a reprehensible act[s] - it is not only a horrific crime, a violent crime, but it also goes to the very heart of affecting love, trust, security - all ingredients that children are entitled to have.
While under normal circumstances I completely agree with you but in this case I believe it makes it even worse. They adopted this child for this purpose.
They took this child in just for abuse.
Words can describe what I would like to see done to these people.
