Chinese-origin couple in California charged with abusing children born through surrogates
A couple of Chinese origin in California, USA, has been charged with repeated abuse of at least 14 children. In total, they had 21 children through surrogate mothers.
Two people of Chinese origin, who are a couple, have been charged in the US state of California. They are accused of repeatedly abusing at least 14 children. Some of the victims were only two months old, meaning the case involves very small infants.
A large family
According to the source, the couple had obtained a total of 21 children with the help of surrogate mothers. A surrogate mother is a woman who carries and gives birth to a child on behalf of other people. The couple raised all the children at home.
What the charges revealed
The charges brought against them have shed light on what the situation in this large family was really like. The source gives no further details about the type of abuse, the course of the court proceedings, where the children are now, or any response from the couple, so these questions remain open for now.
A charge in itself does not mean guilt has been proven. A court will assess the circumstances of the case and whether the accusations are justified.
