11 Children adopted by Michael and Sharen Gravelle

11 children adopted by Michel and Sharen Gravelle were found to be kept in cages.

Michael and Sharen Gravelle met in sexual abuse counseling. Sharen was in the program because her previous husband had abused their daughter. Michael was in the program after admitting to a prosecutor that he had sexually molested his 10-year-old daughter over a two-year period. Not only was he never prosecuted for this, he failed to even complete the sex offender treatment program at which he met Sharen. - See more at: http://publicjustice.net/content/fighting-safety-kids-foster-care-system#sthash.nPtFKHzR.dpuf

Kevin & Kody Pribbernow Locked Up In Basement Room Chicken Wire

Submitted by Justice on Tue, 2010-08-24 23:14.

We have a similar case. Kevin and Kody Pribbernow are still in their abusive adopted home, where they were locked up in a basement room, with the lock on the outside of the door, and chicken wire over the window. We have the police reports, where the step father Joshua Saylor and adopted mother Jessica Saylor admitted to locking the boys up. Very similar to the Calista Springer case. This case of the Pribbernow children is also in Michigan.  Their brother Justin Pribbernow was murdered by one of the five adopted boys in the home, Steven Pribbernow. The murder took place in Coleman,Michigan which is in Midland County. The police found the room while at the murder scene. A blow up mattress and a desk were in this room. Two of the five adopted boys have written letters about the abuse in this home, yet nothing has been done. Midland, Michigan CPS  has had several calls on this adopted home, and knows about the boys being locked up and has not removed Kevin and Kody from this home.  

 For more information on this case you can contact Faith and Kevin Baden the biological parents of Paul,Justin, Kevin and Kody Pribbernow. You can call them at 989-340-0089 fthndkvn@yahoo.com

Really sad

All too often it's assumed the Aparents/Ahome is much better...much safer than any other option available.

I can only hope our abuse cases present a more clear picture -- adoption is not always the panacea the general public likes to assume it is.

As one who always hoped my first-mother thought about me.... I can only hope the adopted children mentioned (Kevin and Kody) learn they were/are missed and wanted by members of the first-family.  Words cannot express how healing such a thought can be.
