Wildly OT: I got married when I lived in Germany. If the switch from Miss to Ma'am is a difficult one imagine going from Fräulein to Frau. (It's about marital status, but that's not how it felt. )

Does anyone think Jen ate the rest of the pizza? I do. The punishment was to cover up her “crime.” How could the kids admit to something they didn’t do? And IMO it IS criminal to only allow one small piece of pizza per kid. Who can just eat one? Plus lying on a bed on their backs 4-5 hours, sleeping masks on their faces (she just happened to have SIX sleeping masks at the ready?!), arms at their sides...that’s sadistic torture...punishing them for something Jen likely did. I cry for what those kids endured.
I honestly thought this and then wondered if MAYBE Sarah ate it and either was too nervous or completely content to not speak up. Though I feel more like it could be Jen bingeing on food and projecting that onto the kids. The sleeping masks make me think of solitary confinement techniques or sensory deprivation. That's so scary as an adult knowing you are going through that, it excites your other senses and can cause hallucinations. I feel awful for those poor kids. I also wonder if it was in part to further create mistrust in the children and break any potential bonds that may form against the women who were supposed to provide their care.

Updated again (so annoying how they do this--there's a bit more new info too, but I don't want to do more than 10%):

This article has some more info in addition to what was in the KOIN article.
The KOIN article said 5 out of 6 were below average in height and weight.
The Oregonlive article mentions that the 5 out 6 were so low that they were not even on the growth charts. Possibly, less than 1%?
From article:
[FONT="]
Five of the six children were so small that their heights and weights were not listed on growth charts for children their age, an Oregon child welfare worker wrote. But a female doctor who saw the children reported no concerns, the worker wrote.[/FONT]

One person who alerted authorities said that while the family was staying in her home, they ordered pizza and each child was only allowed one small piece. The next morning the pizza was gone. The woman told authorities Jennifer Hart became enraged and took all the children into a bathroom.[/FONT][FONT=&]When they emerged, Jennifer Hart said none of them would be eating breakfast because no one would admit he or she had eaten the pizza, the woman reported. All the children then had to lie on a bed for four to five hours.They had to wear sleeping masks on their faces and lie with their arms at their sides, the woman said.[/FONT]
Maybe she never answered the door for anyone?

Jen Hart reported that many of the children had medical issues upon adoption and she described her youngest son, Jeremiah, as globally delayed at the time of adoption. The couple said Jeremiah could not even use a fork when he came to them but was functioning normally now.
Jen Hart described Devonte as very violent and a victim of abuse in his birth mother's home. He was diagnosed with a mood disorder and ADHD, Jen Hart told case workers. But he no longer took medication for those conditions because the Hart parents did not believe those diagnoses, Jen Hart said. Although Jen Hart has said publicly that Devonte was shot at during his early childhood, she told the case worker that he had a gun held to his head.
The Hart parents described Devonte as thriving in their home. It was 14 months before a photograph of a tearful Devonte hugging a white police officer would gain worldwide notice. But Jen Hart told case workers the boy was already "famous nationwide for his 'free hugs.'"
Pages and pages of speculation, but no real news.
So the case worker gathered all the information and then nothing was done. It seems to me that when an investigation is inconclusive, regular monitoring is warranted.
Right???? CPS wasn’t able to determine if there was abuse or not, so they just let it go? Smh.
