So the sheriff has determined this was a crime.
Does anyone have a very definitive timeline for these people? Here is what I have:
2006 six siblings are adopted by Sarah and Jen? from Texas.
2008 - Minnesota CPS investigation. One of the daughters claims Jennifer had hit her with a belt. The parents said she had been going through "food issues" and got bruised falling down the stairs. No action. Children not removed.
2009 Three more siblings are adopted from Texas. The family lives in Minnesota?
November 15, 2010- Minnesota CPS investigation. Abigail reports being spanked over a tub with a closed fist by Jennifer. She has bruises up and down her back and stomach. She alleges they withhold food from her and that Jen held her head under water. All the kids report varying stories. All say that Abigail was not spanked or beaten. Some say they parents spank and some say not. Sarah admits "losing control" and spanking her daughter and is charged with child abuse. Children are not removed form the home.
April 14, 2011 - Minnesota. Sarah pleads guilty to a domestic violence charge related to the beating and serves only probation.
April 15, 2011 - All six children are removed from public school and homeschooling begins.
Date Unknown - family moves to Oregon. Continues homeschooling.
July 19, 2013 - Oregon CPS investigation - a friend reports that family alleging they are withholding food from the kids as punishment and that she witnessed emotionally controlling and cruel punishment of the kids. No action is taken. Not enough evidence. Friend says kids were coached. The Harts immediately discontinue the friendship.
