THE MEDIA IS NOT TALKING ABOUT THIS - Adopted Black Children Abused And Forced Into Modern Day Slavery

In this episode of the Deron Harris Program, host Deron and his wife, Ivonne, discuss a deeply troubling case of child abuse that has affected their local community in Columbia County, Florida. The couple reflects on a family that moved from Arizona and adopted several children, four of whom were foster children. They reveal that these children were subjected to severe abuse while living with their adoptive parents, Brian and Jill Griffith.

Deron emphasizes the importance of mental health, encouraging listeners to seek help if they are struggling. He shares his own experiences with depression and anxiety, highlighting the need for open conversations about mental health, especially in light of the tragic story they are discussing.

As they delve into the details of the case, Deron and Ivonne express their outrage over the treatment of the children, particularly noting the racial dynamics at play, as the adopted children are black while the adoptive family is white. They discuss the systemic failures that allowed this abuse to occur, questioning the oversight of adoption agencies and the lack of intervention from authorities.

The couple also highlights the role of a church camp in bringing the situation to light when one of the children was found with a taser, prompting concerns that led to an investigation. They express gratitude for the individual who reported the abuse, recognizing the importance of vigilance in protecting vulnerable children.

Throughout the episode, Deron and Ivonne grapple with the broader implications of this case, pondering how many similar situations might be happening unnoticed. They call for accountability not only for the Griffiths but also for the agencies that failed to protect these children, emphasizing the need for systemic change to prevent such abuses in the future.
