Children adopted by Patrick and Sherry Kelley
In 2004, the Kelleys were accused of burning, beating, and slapping their five adopted children, 10 to 15 years old. Later investigation cast doubt on whether the evidence would hold up in court, according to prosecutors. In January 2007, Superior Court Judge Mike Wolverton accepted no-contest pleas to greatly reduced charges and released the Kelleys, who had served about 17 months in jail.
George and Shirley Long were accused of standing by while their adopted grandchildren were abused for years.
George Long, the adoptive grandfather, is found guilty of chaining his 10-year-old adopted grandson to a dog run.
