Adoptive Parents Collect $175K on Foster Children Abused + Missing Over 10 Years - Colorado, Texas

March 2011. Colorado, Texas. Abuse, Torture Allegations in Adopted Foster Children Missing Over 10 Years. Adopted Parents Collected $175,000 on Missing Tots + Not Report Missing. Bryants Arrested on Fraud for Collecting Money For Boys Missing Over 10 Years; No Missing Child Report was ever filed. Authorities in CO have opened an investigation into disappearance of 2 foster children, one of whom appears to have been physically abused. Edward Dylan Bryant who would now be 18YO disappeared in 2001. Austin Bryant, who would be 15, went missing around 2003.
The adoptive parents never reported them missing + falsified records to collect $175,000 adoption subsidies.
The boy's adopted father, Edward Bryant, 58, + mother, Linda, 54, who are separated, were arrested in Texas + currently in jail in Colorado Springs. They are held on $1 million bail. Each face theft + forgery charges.
They've not been charged in the disappearances. The father told authorities Edward ran away in 2001 + Austin in 2003, right before the family moved to Texas. He blamed his wife for any money received since their disappearance and denied knowledge of receiving money for the children, but admitted that he signed documentation stating that the children were in his care in order to continue to receive funds from Colorado DHS.
His wife, Linda, admitted some criminal culpability for not reporting the missing children. She acknowledged she intentionally covered up the fact they were missing to make it impossible for those in position to make a rescue, and offered to take responsibility so her husband could keep the 5 children they still have. [?!!]
The police investigation started shortly after Bryan Pennington, a foster child who knew Austin growing up, reported Austin missing on Jan 22, 2011, after a conversation with another person who knew Austin.
James Bryant, the boys' adopted brother who was interviewed at Fort Campbell, KY, agreed to discuss situation w El Paso Sheriff's office. James told detectives that there has been significant abuse at home. He said Austin was spanked, restrained by being rolled "like a burrito", handcuffed, and denied food 2-3 times a week as a form of punishment. Austin got so hungry, James said, he would eat out of the garbage can. He was also left in the garage days at a time and forced to run up and down the driveway for hours.
The last time he saw Austin alive was in 2003. He said his mother asked him for help to find a friend to pose as Austin for an upcoming DHS visit, according to affidavit.
Pennington told investigators that Austin told him that his parents used a taser on him and showed him welts all over his torso, according to the affidavit.
The affidavit has little information regarding Edward. James told authorities he doesn't know anything about his adopted brother. He was told Edward was sent to ARIZONA to care for an ailing relative. State adoption records are sealed http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/03/10/...

AFFIDAVIT REVEALS ABUSE OF MISSING FOSTER CHILD. TX. While 2 young boys disappeared nearly a decade ago, no one spoke up until now. Arrest affidavit for the adoptive parents of Austin Eugene Bryant + Edward Dylan Bryant paints a disturbing picture of the discipline that incl use of a Taser + being locked in a trunk.
The adoptive father admitted he and his wife "concocted stories" to cover up the missing boys. When Gainesville police contacted his wife, she said the boys were "doing fine and living with her." She later changed her story to say they "ran away as early as 2003," but she never made a report. She also admitted to "falsified documents" because she came "to rely on the money" Colorado offered families who adopt.
2 other adopted children who lived with the Bryants recalled the torture Austin allegedly endured. The 14-page arrest affidavit from Colorado said the couple regularly abused Austin when he lived with them outside Colorado Springs. The accusations say Austin was handcuffed, Tased and often locked in a trunk. He was denied food, leading him to eat from the garbage.

April 2011. Many children turn up missing from foster care. When most people think of missing kids the thing that comes to mind are the high profile cases that have received national attention. . .Little attention is given to the1000s of children that have gone missing after placement in foster care. . . Some states don’t report foster children because of privacy laws. Many states will not even inform law enforcement agencies.

More missing adopted children that taxpayers are paying for, this is a travesty. Google Adam Herrman missing from KS, same story, just different child. I was not aware that adoptive parents received a government subsidy, until I read the story of Adam. Always assumed that when you adopted, you also took on the financial responsibility. Sounds suspiciously like the selling of children, huh?

Police need to also arrest all of the relatives of these people, because I'll bet they KNEW.

The adoptions and safe families act gives subsides for children adopted from foster care I am a licensed foster parent tried to adopt my grandchildren but Michigan has decided to adopt them to their foster parents. The foster parents whose income is below the poverty line for their family not including my grandchildren cannot adopt without the subsidy. I can afford to adopt them with out subsidy. Child protection has become a multibillion dollar industry of psyc pros attorney SW's and bonuses

Falun Dafa is a cultivation system in the Buddha School, saving people, that is based on the principles of the Universe: 真 Truthfulness 善 Compassion 忍 Forbearance

It teaches elevation of one's moral character. Since 1999 it has been brutally persecuted by the CCP in China. Good people are being tortured, raped, killed, force-fed, deprived of sleep and have organs harvested from simply because their spiritual belief. Millions practitioners were killed by the evil CCP.

Ask five kids were at their adoptive paretns this may help the full story what happen in their home from this horrible adoptive parents if possible these kids may have recall/partial remember something about the two missing boys and if they remember what going on in home. God will punshed these evil people.

Of course, if you pay people to adopt children, that will attract greedy fucks who just want the money. Obviously, this couple turned the whole thing into a very lucrative business. Between the pedophiles, the homosexuals, who can't have their own children, and the greedy bastards who do it for the money, the state and federal governments have created a nightmare for the poor kids stolen by CPS to feed into this filthy, corrupt system. How do you think the poor parents feel about all this?

These foster parents are deserved to go to prison. Cruel act is shocking. I felt bad when the kids are spanked, beaten, neglected, and often killed. Is there's a way to stop the cruelty? I'm not going to adopt children, until spanking is outlawed. I'm not a Christian. I only believe in fairies.

[Aaron Johnson]

If I want to be a foster parent; all I have to do just drop the whip. Bye bye Spanking. These foster parents are ashamed of the cruel act!

[Aaron Johnson]

The foster parents are ahamed for the cruel act. I wish all foster parents must retake classes. If I want to adopt kids. All I have to do drop the whip, and use RENEWABLE source of raising children. I'm not going to have kids, until spanking is abolished. If spanking is abolished; children will be raised with a renewable source.
