When we moved to Arizona on June 6th, we met many of our neighbors shortly after moving in. Several houses down the street from us there were two married men who moved here a few years ago from New York. Both of them were very, very nice, warm, and welcoming. We talked to them on many occasions, went over to their house a few times, and were just very neighborly in general.
They had told us upon first meeting them that they had 14 children living in their home. All of them were boys, and they ranged from ages 7-20. I didn't know how this was possible since they only had 6 bedrooms (one being theirs), but they told me they had multiple kids sleeping in the same bedroom. Still, I thought that was a bit odd that they would adopt that many kids.
Well, it's been quite a while since I've seen or heard from them, and I was starting to wonder why. Today I found out that on July 31st (we were gone apparently) the cops had been out to their house in full force with CPS. Apparently some of the boys living there had called the cops and said they were being sexually abused. I'm told that the boys took audio and video recordings as well to back-up their claims. They were saying it had been going on for years now, but they finally felt like they needed to come forward.
They said it was just one of the dads who was doing the abusing, which in turn he was arrested. His husband posted bail for him and apparently he has been living in some hotel for months now since he can't go back to the home. I also came to find out that all of these kids were foster kids that they ended up adopting in New York and then bringing with them when they moved to Arizona. All of these kids also have some sort of disability or another. None of them are handicapped in the traditional way, but I believe they have learning disabilities and such. I've met the kids (most of them), and they all seem very socially awkward to say the least.
Well, this answers my other question I've had since we moved in of how in the hell do these guys have to much money. They have multiple BMWs, a CanAm Maverick, an insanely nice house inside-and-out, and a backyard with a pool to die for. As it turns out, the reason they were fostering / adopting so many kids (with disabilities too) is that they've been making tons of money off the government for each kid, which explains everything.
Talk about a crazy situation to have happen on the same street as us. All this time these guys seemed like the most normal, nice guys you could meet. It would appear that you really can't judge a book by it's cover, because clearly there are some demons that have been hiding in the dark.
All I can say is that this really rattles me
