Boy Killed, Fed to Pigs, and Now Home Schooling is Blamed [VIDEO]

Look at this sweet face. This is Adrian Jones, a seven-year-old boy from Kansas City, KS. He endured horrendous abuse from his father and stepmother. In 2015 they killed him, and when he died those evil monsters fed his little body to pigs.

Yes. They fed him to pigs. I just can’t even.

Here are Heather and Michael Jones, the brutes who killed Adrian.

And here is the pig barn where Adrian’s remains were found. It sits on 15 acres of land on the outskirts of Kansas City, KS, so no neighbors heard Adrian scream.

If you want more information about the short and brutal life that little Adrian endured, accompanied by some graphic pictures, you can find them here. I won’t post them. I just can’t.

Heather and Michael Jones are now sitting in prison, thankfully. However, Adrian’s grandmother, Judy Conway, is pushing a bill called Adrian’s Act, which she feels will help protect children from abuse. Does this bill clamp down on the child protective agencies that failed Adrian?

No. The bill wants to crack down on parents who home-school. Michael Jones registered his home as a “home school” in Kansas in 2012, and now Conway believes that the home-school environment failed Adrian.

Adrian’s Act would require background checks on parents, medical exams of children, and mandatory visits by education officials.

Never mind that Adrian himself told social workers in both Kansas and Missouri that he was abused.

Just how much academic education do you think Adrian really received? None, of course, but one lesson Adrian learned was about torture brought on by sadists who were his “parents.” The other lesson he learned was that those state social workers in whom he trusted wouldn’t save him.

But by all means, let’s throw more regulations to hamper the good parents in Kansas who want to keep their children from the lackluster education found in too many public schools. The teachers’ unions will be ecstatic.

A friend of mine, who was once a Kansas state representative, home schools both her sons. She is a former school teacher, and is a stellar example of how home schooling should work.

She is not happy with Adrian’s Act. On her Facebook page she wrote:

There are so many things that I have to say in refuting the basis for this idea. First and foremost, homeschooling did not kill this child. His evil parents did. Homeschooling, real homeschooling, is a nurturing environment where children are allowed to be themselves. They are not stuffed into a “one size fits all” education mentality. In so doing, we don’t follow districts prescribed curriculum. The districts should NOT ok my curriculum choices. I have chosen to remove my children from their authority. My husband and I CHOOSE what they will be studying. We have zero reason to harm our children. We want the best for them, and parents know what is best for their children far more than someone who knows nothing about them, their strengths and weaknesses, personality, or interests.

She’s absolutely correct. Home schooling did not kill Adrian Jones. His parents did. And regulation of home schools wouldn’t have saved his life, either.

    And there is the real problem with homeschooling. How dare you think you can raise your child without the oversight and commands of the almighty and self-righteous state! How dare you place yourself above the state! Do NOT violate the First Commandment: Thou shalt have no other gods before the State.

    And, as much as I might want to not have this happen, the big reason I’m not a progressive is because I understand we will never eliminate evil. But, just imagine this evil in service to the state, rather than killing one child. That is what a totalitarian state will bring us.
