Even then, Exon had no idea what sort of parents the Easons had been. Child welfare officials had taken away Nicole Eason’s two biological children, a son and a daughter, years earlier. A report by authorities who removed the Easons’ newborn son characterized the couple as having “severe psychiatric problems” and “violent tendencies.” And a man who once took in a child with Nicole had been trading pictures of naked children online. He’s now serving 20 years in federal prison.
Exon ended up driving 10 hours from her North Carolina home to the Eason place in Danville, Illinois, to try to retrieve the girl and boy she had helped re-home there. Calvin Eason acquiesced, and she left with the children that day.”

SPECIAL REPORT: Amateurs go online to trade unwanted adopted… | www.palmbeachpost.com
I just don’t understand these people. You decide you want to “help” children by setting up these informal kid swaps with total strangers on the internet, and you never think it necessary to set up background checks or ensure things are handled legally, and then are stunned and horrified to find out there are fucking weirdos out there interested in taking advantage of children no one wants? That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.
This is absolutely awful. Before I even get to the parents who decide to get rid of their kids like a litter of fucking puppies in an online ad, I have to look at the people who create these forums and “moderate” these “adoptions.” This is human trafficking.For all these people know, the children they are “helping” are being freely handed to pedophiles, child pornographers, slavery, and child prostitution…and as is evidently the case, MANY ACTUALLY ARE.
When I was 11 years old, I knew better than to trust random strangers on the internet to be who they said they were. Who are these grown ass people who are so foolish they honestly think this is safe or acceptable when children are involved?
