We've reached episode 5 everyone! Rena Tunechi has invited the hosts of @DMDPodcast to discuss the case of the Hart Family Crash.
Sarah and Jen Hart were a white American, lesbian couple who adopted 6 black children and raised them for just over 10 years. The interracial family became globally recognised for how unique their family was and the "progressive parenting styles" Jen depicted online. However, things weren't so rosey within the Hart family. There were accusations of abuse and neglect. As the pressure piled on from witnesses and child services, Jen Hart decided to take a road trip with her family. In March 2018, Jen Hart drove herself and the rest of the family off a 100 ft cliff killing everybody instantly!
We discuss "Transracial adoption", the celebrity fashion of adopting ethnic babies and social media.
