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 Las Vegas, Nevada, the law has finally caught up to adoptive parent Elsie May Taylor, who has been on the lam for three years. She stands accused of physically abusing her 2 adoptive children, aged 6 and 7 and another child .
“The report says the abuse included being beaten with a stick that had nails in it. One child had her leg twisted so severely that it broke and the other child was tied to a bed every night with an electrical cord that left visible marks on the child’s wrists and ankles. Both children were also not properly fed. A third child in the home had her fingers bitten until they bled.”
“The children also appeared that they didn’t go to school. There was a lack of the children being educated and there was no record of them ever attending a school,” said Sgt. Schultz.
The alleged abuse came to light when Taylor dropped the children off with an aunt in California in early 2008 and was never seen again. That family member noticed the scarring and notified authorities. Where Taylor went is still a mystery.”
Unbelievably, ” A police report says she went to jail in California for child abuse and CPS actually took the children. However, upon her release, the report says CPS in California gave the children back.”
