Modern Day Child Slave Ads In Michigan: Forever Homes

For just a few moments, allow me to take you back in time to when children were openly sold in the papers.

Imagine sitting at the table, having a morning cafe, reading the daily newspaper to come across this ad for the sale of a child, only to realize that it is your own child who was legally kidnapped  from your arms because of your economic status in society, otherwise known as being a member of "The Poors" (always said with clinched teeth).

During the pre-Emancipation Proclamation period, there was a strong possibility that you could not read, nor were afforded the opportunity to have a morning cafe, due to the prerequisites of having to work for your life in the fields, the factories and other mandatory servant functions of a household.

You would not be able to see the advertisement of your child being sold, nor were you able to stop then from taking your child in the first place, for no other reason than for who you were, and, in this period of time, conditioned to your station in life as a slave, your forever home.

Now, fast forward to today.


You pull out your mobile phone, check your Facebook and see your child being sold...because you were poor, and, just because this is Michigan and the child placing agency was Orchards Childrens Services, I am going to put it out there that your parental rights were terminated based on fraudulent filings upon the court and your child was drugged to stop the pain and tears of never seeing his family again, due to the rampant fraud in child welfare, oh, and the fact that the Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette will not do a damn thing about it.

Yes, this is exactly what happened to the father of Anthony when he checked his Facebook and sipped his morning coffee.



This is the modern day child slave trade, a federally funded, privatized, multi-billion dollar industry for the States, where fraud flourishes and no one finds anything wrong with selling tiny humans or the fact that there are no civil rights in child welfare for the parents, just because they are poor and child welfare workers have the legal right to lie to achieve the successful transaction of placing a child in a forever home.

Well, as we all know, in modern times, we, as a nation, are so much more compassionate, and, albeit, much more  sophisticated, that we no longer sell children, we charge fees and issue tax incentives.

This is why, in modern times, instead of the term 'slavery', the term 'human trafficking' is much more appropriate, because selling chattel, in modern times, if the oldest form of survival.

I truly hope I have brought a bit of sunshine into the lives of modern day child human traffickers.

Finding Anthony his Forever Home

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- FOX 17 continues our Forever Home series to help kids living in Michigan foster care find loving adoptive families.

 Anthony, 11, clipped into his climbing gear at Grand Rapids Treetop Adventure Park. Then one step at a time, looking straight ahead, he conquered his fear of heights. And his favorite part?

The zipline. "It was fun!" he said. Then he quickly offered advice for anyone else who's afraid of heights: "Just whatever you do, don't look at the ground."

 Anthony dreams big in school.

He's enjoying the fifth grade and shared the latest he learned about photosynthesis in his favorite subject, science. 

Playing outdoors, cards and video games are some of his favorite hobbies. "Terrarium," he said is one of his favorite video games, "it's pretty much a building strategy game."

 But for Anthony, the biggest dreams come when he thinks about family. "So I wouldn't be lonely," he said.

 And he imagined what a day well spent with his future forever family would look like: "Going to a card shop, going to play games, and Pokemon,"

Anthony said. And then, his greatest hope for the year ahead Anthony said is "to get a new family."

 If you would like to learn more about Anthony and the adoption process, please call his adoption agency Orchards Children's Services at: 1-(855)-694-7301. FOX 17's

Forever Home series has helped 95 percent of the children featured to be adopted or in the process of being adopted, according to OCS. FOX 17 would like to send a huge thank you to Grand Rapids Treetop Adventure Park for an awesome filming experience!
