How Could You? Hall of Shame-Michael Weis

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 Houston, Texas, adult son of foster parents, Michael Wies, is accused of sexually assaulting a 5-year-old foster boy and his 6-year-old biological brother, also a foster son. Michael is currently on the run. His parents have not been cooperative.

“According to court records, the parents of Michael Wies once ran a foster care home called “Rainbows and Moonbeams” out of their Tomball home on Juergan Road.

Court records claim that a volunteer at the foster home saw Wies, 22, rape a 5-year old foster child. The volunteer called Children’s Protective Services and an investigation was launched.

A 6-year old boy also being cared for by Wies’s parents was also abused, detectives said.

Weis has been charged with [2 counts of aggravated] sexual assault of a child, but he has not been taken into custody.

According to investigators, the alleged sexual assault happened in 2009.

Sources close to the investigation said Wies’ parents are not cooperating. Officials said the parents have asked for mental evaluations, clamming[sic] their adult son is “mentally retarded.”

Investigators said the parents have not allowed detectives to interview their son for fear he may admit to something he did not do.

Records show the home where the alleged abuse took place has been sold and is no longer a foster care home.”

The video states that initial tests have shown that he knows right from wrong. When those test results became available, then the charges were filed.
