Lawmaker And Christian School Owner 'Rehomes' Adopted 6 Year Old To Man Who Then Rapes Her
Lawmaker And Christian School Owner 'Rehomes' Adopted 6 Year Old To Man Who Then Rapes Her
A Republican lawmaker who owns a religious pre-school adopted a little girl with his wife. He apparently later "re-homed," or unofficially but permanently gave over the 6-year old to a man he would end up hiring as a pre-school teacher. That man later raped her.
Justin Harris is a conservative Arkansas State Representative who serves as the chairman of the Subcommittee on Children and Youth. A Tea Party Republican, Harris has voted to allow the Christian bible to be taught in public schools, and has co-sponsored anti-abortion bills. A Pentecostal Christian, he and his family belong to the Assemblies of God fellowship. Harris also owns a religious, Christian pre-school, named Growing God’s Kingdom.

Despite being "very excited" to adopt the girls, sometime probably in late 2013 Harris and his wife apparently "re-homed," or gave those two little girls to Eric Cameron Francis, a man they later hired to be a teacher at their preschool, according to reports. Rehoming is not an official act, but an under the radar means some adoptive parents use to get rid of adoptions that aren't working out smoothly, rather than working with the adoption facility. Harris would not confirm he had re-homed the two girls.
"The Harrises aren’t saying why they would give up their daughters to a relative stranger just a year after taking them in," Doktor Zoom at Wonkette reports. "The six-year-old told the Crimes Against Children Division (CACD) interviewer that she had been placed in foster care after being sexually abused by someone in her biological family. The Department of Human Services gives special training to parents adopting children who’ve come from a traumatic background, but apparently that wasn’t quite enough to prepare the Harrises for caring for a little girl who’d already been through hell, and who no doubt had behavioral issues stemming from her abuse."
