How Could You? Hall of Shame-Samuel and Brandi Hollie

This will be an archive of heinous actions by those involved in child welfare, foster care and adoption. We forewarn you that these are deeply disturbing stories that may involve sex abuse, murder, kidnapping and other horrendous actions.

From Gainesville, Florida, adoptive parents Samuel and Brandi Hollie “routinely beat and shocked their two adopted children with what appears to be stun guns.

The Gainesville Sun reports that the children were also malnourished and described being fed only bread and water and occasional scraps. The two children fled from the couple’s care last week and a concerned resident contacted police. The children are 8 and 10 years old.

A Gainesville Police Department report says a medical exam revealed severe scarring, bruising and disfigurement on both children.

29-year-old Samuel Hollie and 32-year-old Brandi Hollie were charged Wednesday with two counts of aggravated child abuse and two counts of child neglect. They are each being held on $300,000 bond.

An attorney representing them did not immediately respond to a call seeking comment.”
