Once again, the mainstream media is trying to only lightly cover a story which makes members of a protected "victim" group look bad.
Remember the widely publicized and covered Turpin story, where a middle-aged, white, heterosexual couple starved, beat, and imprisoned their 12 kids? That was pretty much everywhere in the media from Day 1. It was easy to cover because the perpetrators were white, heterosexual, Christian, and middle-class.
Now a similar-but-much-worse story has also come out of California, and the media is just starting to slowly pick up on it. It hasn't been a top headline on any mainstream news outlet, from what I can see.
Jennifer and Sarah Hart were two 38-year-old lesbians. They were married, and had been together for 18 years. During their time together, they adopted six children, all minorities:
One of their black children, Devonte Hart, gained some fame for giving a tearful hug to a white police officer during a Ferguson-related march:
Devonte is now likely dead, at the hands of his "mothers", as are his five adopted siblings.
On March 26, the two women intentionally drove their SUV over a cliff in Northern California. The car's internal systems show that the driver stopped, accelerated toward the cliff, reached over 70 MPH, and never braked, before plunging right off.
Found dead were both women, and three of the children. Devonte and two of the other children are still missing, but likely dead somewhere in the ocean.
Unlike the Turpin situation, where the family did a pretty good job at hiding their abuse from everyone, the warning signs were all over the place for these two crazy women.
Devonte himself would repeatedly sneak over to neighbors and beg for food, telling them that his mothers were starving him and the other children as punishment:
These neighbors called child protective services, but nothing came of it.
The same neighbors said that one of the daughters came over at 1:30am one night and said she was being abused by the two women.
The children were rarely allowed outside.
In 2011, Sarah Hart pled guilty for beating one of her daughters, Abigail, then 6, after school officials found bruises all over her.
Abigail said that Jennifer was angry because a penny fell out of her pocket. She said Jennifer dragged her to the bathroom and submerged her head under cold water in the tub, then spanking her repeatedly with a closed fist.
Sarah ended up taking the blame on behalf of Jennifer for that, hence the reason she was the one who pled guilty.
In the meantime, the Harts paraded around social media grandstanding about Devonte's hug, feigning sensitivity and kindness:
The two women were very left-wing politically, were big Bernie Sanders supporters, and were big supporters of environmental causes.
So here you had a family which was pretty much a liberal darling in every way: A loving, married, lesbian couple, adopting six minority children, preaching love and peace everywhere, and the children seemingly being on board with supporting their environmental and peaceful causes.
In the meantime, countless reports of abuse went unchecked and unpunished, and resulted in the murder of six innocent children.
The mainstream media has been hesitant to feature this story. It's just starting to make the rounds now, despite the murders having taken place over 10 days ago. It's still not getting heavy coverage. If this were a white, heterosexual, Christian couple murdering their six natural children in such a fashion, we'd all know their names and stories via 24/7 coverage.
Speaking of heavy, here's a good article from heavy.com about these horrible women, and all they've done:
