"A Christian missionary couple gave violent, Bible-inspired beatings to their three adopted children, and they were sentenced to less than three years in jail."
Why did they get time? Christians teach their kids "fear of the Lord" all the time. They must have really smacked those brats around.
One child had a broken leg. Another child had signs of healed broken bones. This goes back to evangelicals adopting not for the children but to supply more bodies to the cause.
