How Could You? Hall of Shame-Darold A. Slack

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 Vancouver, Washington, foster father, Darold A. Slack, “was arrested on May 1 and booked into the Clark County Jail on multiple counts that include child molestation and rape, following a child-abuse investigation that led detectives to serve a search warrant at his home.”

“According to investigators, the case began on April 27, when the Children’s Justice Center opened a probe into a reported sexual assault. As part of that investigation, detectives executed a search warrant at Slack’s Vancouver home on May 1.

That same day, Slack was taken into custody and booked into the Clark County Jail on multiple charges. Clark County Jail Services records show he remains in custody following the May 1 arrest.

Police say Slack, who they report fostered about 55 children in Vancouver between 2013 and 2025, now faces a slate of accusations that includes second-degree child molestation, second-degree rape and third-degree rape, along with other sexual-misconduct counts, as reported by KPTV.”

“Vancouver police say they believe there may be additional victims who have not yet come forward and are asking anyone with information about Slack or the case to contact investigators.

The Children’s Justice Center lists a main phone line, a general email address and the county’s 24-hour child-abuse hotline for Clark County, and it advises calling 911 immediately if a child appears to be in imminent danger. Detectives say the investigation is ongoing and urge anyone with relevant information to reach out through those channels.”
