The children, now aged 11 too 15, were taken from the Atlanta area in 2019 and endured severe neglect and abuse, including sleeping cramped on a single bunk, urinating and defecating in containers, and receiving no medical or dental care, despite injuries such as burns. Prosecutors allege that the children were also sexually abused during their captivity. Officials describe the situation as a &#8220;rolling prison&#8221; and have indicated that more charges may follow, with authorities seeking strict penalties, potentially including the death penalty. The children are currently in care and receiving treatment.

That\u2019s the only good news in the file.<\/p>\n<p>The rest is a question older than any social program.<\/p>\n<p>Epps was born in 1975. By then, the Great Society was already launched. The Civil Rights Acts were on the books. Slavery had been dead for a century, a fact almost unique in human history. Public school was free. Welfare offices, food aid, and a church on most corners were not theoretical \u2014 they were the landscape.<\/p>\n<p>She still, if the state\u2019s report is accurate, turned a truck into a dungeon.<\/p>\n<p>Bad homes produce a lot of damaged people. They do not automatically produce this.<\/p>\n<p>Most of humanity grew up hungry, cold, or beaten and did not invent mobile prisons. The 19th-century prairie was harder than a 21st-century safety net. It was not dotted with wagon dungeons in proportion to the misery.<\/p>\n<p>The heart of the problem is the problem of the heart. Call it sin, a fallen nature, the thing in a person that can look at a child and choose cruelty. Programs do not repeal it. Checks do not repeal it.<\/p>\n<p>That is not an argument for doing nothing. It is an argument for telling the truth.<\/p>\n<p>A justice system that makes monsters bargain their way to a short sentence is a system that invites the next one. People should be terrified to do this.<\/p>\n<p>Maximum sentences, no romance about \u201croot causes\u201d as an excuse, and a culture that still knows decency from rot \u2014 those are the tools a free country actually has.<\/p>\n<p>Even then, no policy will make the last dungeon impossible. That is the fallen world. The job is to make the crime rare and the punishment certain, and to raise children who would rather starve than become the adult in that cab.<\/p>\n<p>The four kids are out of their prison. The adults should never be.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
