TULSA, Okla. — A federal grand jury indicted an Ottawa County couple on allegations they physically abused their 15-year-old mentally challenged adopted son with a stun gun.

Jennifer Enyart, 44, and her husband Keith, 52, are charged with child neglect and child abuse in Indian Country, and Jennifer faces an additional charge of assault with a dangerous weapon with intent to do bodily harm for allegedly using a stun gun on their son’s genitals.

Medical reports show several of the child’s injuries were consistent with the use of a “taser or stun gun,” court records show. The medical report concluded the teen’s injuries were “likely the result of child abuse.”

The Wyandotte couple is accused of failing to provide appropriate medical care and supervision to protect a child under their care.

Keith Enyart is a member of the Wyandotte Nation. Both are free on a signature bond, as online court records show.  The couple was also ordered not to be around the victim and his three siblings and can only have supervised visitation with their other three children.

SRINAGAR: India has seen a steady outflow of children being adopted internationally, with a total of 4,963 children adopted by foreign families over the past decade. These adoptions span across 41 countries, with the United States leading the list with 2,031 adoptions, followed by Italy with 1,029 and the United Kingdom with 73. Other countries with notable adoption numbers include Malta (215), France (144), and Belgium (42).

The latest data, released by the Ministry of Women and Child Development, highlights the increasing global interest in Indian children for adoption. Countries like Australia, Canada, and Spain have also seen a significant number of adoptions, with 7, 193, and 517 respectively. Smaller numbers of children have been adopted by families from countries such as Bahrain, Brazil, and Nigeria, among others.

The government has ensured that child welfare remains a priority by strengthening child protection laws, including the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015, and the Adoption Regulations, 2022. These regulations mandate that Specialised Adoption Agencies (SAAs) be inspected annually by state governments to maintain high standards of child protection.

As per government reports, no complaints of improper upbringing or exploitation of adopted children have been received, further assuring that the adoption process remains secure and in line with international child protection standards.

Kolkata: Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday accused the Narendra Modi government at the Centre of cancelling December 25 (Christmas Day) as a holiday. 

She claimed that earlier it was announced as a holiday but the present government at the Centre cancelled it. 

Banerjee raised the same issue while speaking at the inauguration of the ‘Kolkata Christmas Festival’ at Allen Park and later at St Xavier’s College where she attended pre-Christmas celebrations. 

“December 25 was earlier announced as a national holiday. The current government at the Centre has cancelled it. Our state observes a holiday on December 25,” she said.

The Chief Minister also expressed shock at Union Home minister Amit Shah’s recent remarks about BR Ambedkar. 

“I am shocked at the comments made about Babasaheb Ambedkar,” she said. 

A senior employee at the Danish embassy informed an adoption agency, among other things, about bribery, experts estimate.

The Danish embassy in Lebanon and the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs were involved in controversial adoptions in the 1980s, where Lebanese children came to Denmark.

This is the assessment of several experts after reading correspondence between a Danish adoption agency and several high-ranking employees at the embassy.

DR was able to reveal yesterday that the adoption agency AC Børnehjælp has in some cases used bribes to get adoptions from Lebanon through - including through donations. In other cases, according to experts, the children were directly trafficked.

The story of how Anna came to Denmark

New podcast series from DR Dokumentar reveals that Danish adoption agency was involved in bribery and child trafficking in the 1980s.

In March 1983, the Danish adoption agency AC Børnehjælp received a typewritten letter from one of the agency's employees in Lebanon. It was a Danish woman whose job was to help the agency find children for adoption.

The letter stated that she had been put in touch with a Lebanese midwife who could provide children.

- Apparently she can give us the children we want, but the price is 21-25,000 DKK (the currency of the time, ed.). Nobody gets anything for free in Lebanon. Take it or leave it (...) I'm standing in line with people who are willing to pay any amount for the child.

Lige nu er det stort umuligt for barnløse danskere at adoptere børn fra udlandet, fordi skandaler på adoptionsområdet har sat al aktivitet på pause.

Og det er blevet vanskeligere at forestille sig, at barnløse danskere igen kan komme på venteliste til at adoptere børn fra udlandet. Sådan lød det fredag fra flere af partierne i Folketinget.

Flere partier overvejer nu, om det er tid til at opgive tanken om international adoption endegyldigt. Et af dem er Liberal Alliance, som har meget lidt tiltro til, at adoption fra udlandet kan genoptages på en forsvarlig måde.

The podcast series 'Falske Minder' reveals that a Danish adoption agency was involved in bribery and child trafficking in Lebanon in the 1980s.

"Sick", "scandalous" and "absolutely heartbreaking".

This is how social spokespeople from both the right and left describe the content of a new DR podcast series 'Falske Minder'.

The podcast tells the story of a series of adoptions from Lebanon to Denmark in the 1980s, which, according to experts, occurred through bribery or "outright child trafficking" .

Iresha and Inoka Knops, two sisters who were adopted from Sri Lanka in 1985 by Ine and Ed Knops, are committed to the future of their birth village. The ladies grew up in the Netherlands, but discovered by chance last year that their biological mother, a sister, four half-brothers and a half-sister are still alive. What started as an emotional reunion, resulted in a mission to help the community in their birth village.
 

The discovery of their biological mother came unexpectedly during a holiday of Iresha. "It was very special, emotional and very beautiful," the sisters say. Although they never planned to visit their biological family, the meeting brought peace. "It is nice to know that our adoption went well and that our biological mother supported it."

From support to action

During their visit, Iresha and Inoka were confronted with the poverty in their home village. Although they support their biological mother financially, they wanted to do more for their family and the rest of the community. “We didn’t just want to give money, but to ensure that people can develop and build a better future,” Iresha explains. The idea arose to set up a community college, with which they want to invest in education and development together with the Dutch Sampath Foundation.
