MONROE, N.C. — A North Carolina couple are under arrest after a foster child was found cuffed by the ankle to their front porch with a dead chicken hanging from around his neck.
Wanda Sue Larson and Dorian Lee Harper were arrested Friday after a sheriff's deputy found the shivering 11-year-old boy. Larson is a supervisor with Union County Department of Social Services. The couple, both 57, adopted four children and were serving as foster parents to the fifth child.
Union County Sheriff Eddie Cathey called the incident shocking. Harper and Larson are charged with intentional child abuse inflicting serious injury, false imprisonment and cruelty to animals. They are in jail awaiting a court appearance set for Monday.
The children, ages 8 to 14, have been removed from the home.

All I can imagine is those kids being mistreated and having no one to tell. They going to tell dss when their foster mom supervises cps? Nope. The doctor when foster father is a nurse at the local hospital? Nope. Judge, when they probably know that the foster mom testifies in cases in court? What about the other cases she might have done investigations in?
OMG, I hadn't even thought of that part of it, but you're right. Those poor poor children. I hope this couple rots in jail forever for that.
I pulled up a house in the sticks of WVa once to pick up a friend who had been visiting family and needed a ride home to pittsburgh. There was a dog tied to the front porch with a dead chicken around his neck. Apparently he was a young dog and he'd attacked the chickens and killed one - and this was their training method so he wouldn't do it again.
I was horrified.
These fuckers were doing the same thing to A MOTHER FUCKING HUMAN?
And then you add in the point catlawdy made where these kids probably felt like they couldn't turn to a single person at ALL (even more so than the average abused kid) and I just...I hope they fucking die in pain and misery.
