Man Charged With Selling Adopted Black Son For Sex On The Web

, Adopting a child was easy. Especially a black one

You certainly have a point - that we still need to discuss: I think that the motivation of this predator was most probably sexual rather than racial. The crass statement that you quoted from this monster IS unfortunately true, and THAT should be looked into; the parent selection criteria should be tightened up. Those predators may tend to go there as a matter of convenience since, due to socioeconomic reasons, a black child adoption is probably easier.

due to socioeconomic reasons

More bullsh!t Karl!

The system is racist, and the reason it will never be fixed is this pretense by some white people that it isn't (such as yourself).

Even that pretense is racist because since only black children are victimized here, they're expendable (in your mind) to whatever your motives are for your pretense.

I am black.

I always speak as a man (Homo Sapiens) first, and as anything else second. I am a man that happens to be black. Here, I was speaking as a man.

The system is racist, and the reason it will never be fixed is this pretense by some white people that it isn't (such as yourself).

Spare me your histrionics. I would be the first to bite the head off any racist that would try to pull a fast one on me.

The system has built in racist filters. This is not the topic here from my point of view. This is about child pornography and pedophiles that do their bests to lay they hands on children by whatever means necessary.

This is about child pornography and pedophiles that do their bests to lay they hands on children by whatever means necessary.

Its also about a system that allows them easier access to black children because of their race, and it doesn't take being black to see that.

I am appalled at this, it makes me sick, the fiend should be castrated and thrown in to prison for good for what he has done to this child. And I hope he get whats coming to him in prison as I hear these type of sicko's get just about the same type of treatment in there that they gave there victim's.

People need to be aware of the children around them, especially if your kids hang with them, try to get to know them so when they are having problems you can feel it, and if you are making them feel at home in your home, they may open up to your children or to you. But the biggest problem I see is even when others know some thing maybe going on, We don't want to get involved. Like someone being mugged on the street in front of us, we turn our heads and walk to the other side so we don't see.

I agree beaumrtn..This is sick!! I don't care what color the child is..the fact is it is a child!! This child, nor any other child should not have to go through anything as disgusting as this...this pervert needs to be dealt with to the fullest extent the law will allow...no slap on the hand!!! I think if any person, no matter what race, is caught doing this it should automatically be a life sentence with no possible chance of parole!! After all it is a life they ruin!! My prayers go out to this precious child!!

I'm having a really hard time getting over the monumental level of betrayal in this story.

Heart wrenching.

The only factor race played in this is according to this monster, black kids are easy to adopt. Nothing in that comment says "racism".

That statement is total bullsh!t!

It's the racism of the adoption system, which devalues black children, over white children, which allowed this gay pedophile to successfully adopt these young black boys.

This guy knows the system is racist and exploited it.

I really get tired of those who want to pretend racism no longer exists, and in this particular case I also get extremely angry.

jazzman - do some research. "gay pedophile"? Is there something in this report I missed that indicated that this monster is a gay man? Other than ignorance, there is no basis for that assumption.

There's plenty here to be disgusted, outraged and violently ill about; adding an ignorant assumption into the equation isn't helpful.

Jazzman,

The adoption system in the US is very strict with their laws, that's why most people go overseas to adopt.

Sadly pedophiles sometimes fool the authorities and these atrocities happen.

he slept with a little boy not girl so wtf are you talking about

jazzman - do some research. "gay pedophile"? Is there something in this report I missed that indicated that this monster is a gay man? Other than ignorance, there is no basis for that assumption.

Kate In Greensboro,

We now seem to have three accepted categories of sexual preference in our society:

1) Straight

2) Homosexual (gay men and lesbian women)

3) Bisexual

Based on that:

1a) if it's a male pedophile who sexually abuses female children, or a female pedophile who prefers male children, they're straight.

2a) if its a male pedophile who sexually abuses male children, or a female pedophile who sexually abuses female children, they gay or lesbian.

3a) If its a male or female pedophile who abuses both male and female children, they are bi-sexual.

But as I said in a previous comment, it seems gays and lesbians are no longer gay and lesbian after they get caught molesting same sex children.

Somehow these people then lose their sexual preference identity, and just become "pedophiles".

Can you please explain to me why Kate? Is there a rule book on all this?

Or is it just based on political expediency as we all know it truly is.

Sadly pedophiles sometimes fool the authorities and these atrocities happen.

Yeah especially in America, where "the authorities" hand over black kids to them very easily, as Frank Lombardo the pedophile tells us.

jazzman - pedophilia has as much to do with sexual orientation as it has to do with handedness, eye color, skin color, stature, or any other biological trait.

Grow up.

You put "gay" and "pedophile" together because of your ignorance. If he is left-handed would you have said "left-handed pedophile"? If he has blue eyes would you have said "blue-eyed pedophile"? If he's a Republican would you have said "Republican pedophile"? You wrote what you wrote to make a very ignorant political point.

You wrote what you wrote to make a very ignorant political point.

Kate In Greensboro,

I wrote what I wrote to show that people such as yourself are politically manipulated and programmed, and unable to defend this madness in any logical way.

I'm going to do some investigation into what sexual orientation Frank Lombard was claiming before he was arrested, and got reclassified.

Jazzman,

Don't tell me you believe that no African Americans work at adoption centers.

Don't tell me you believe that no African Americans work at adoption centers.

It doesn't matter. If they are complicit in making it easy for these pedophiles to adopt black children, they are just as guilty.

Connecting the dots to Obama's meeting with gay advocates (so-called?) and "self appointed black leaders" with this story makes no sense to me at all.

The news has been cluttered with these predators infiltrating the internet. Their abuse crosses race, socioeconomic lines, and continents.

Of course now this guy will be disowned by the gay community. I wonder at what point he made the transition from being a respected gay gentleman, and pillar of the community, who was willing to sacrifice his time and money to be father to , to being a rejected pedophile.

Oh I know...when he got caught

The news has been cluttered with these predators infiltrating the internet. Their abuse crosses race, socioeconomic lines, and continents.

In this case this pedophile was able to adopt a black child because, as he stated, the child was black, and it's easy for a pedophile to adopt a black child.

You people can spin this any way you want, but please don't try to tell me that race is not an issue here.

jazzman,

was able to adopt a black child because, as he stated, the child was black, and it's easy for a pedophile to adopt a black child.

How in the heck would you believe a pedophile.

It drives me crazy that people try to make everything a race issue!!!

Holly,

When this pedophile Frank Lombard makes this statement:

"Adopting a child was easy. Especially a black one"

Its about race, and the problem never gets fixed when we try to pretend its not.

Believe me, no one wants an end to racism more than black people, but I have a 4 year old son, and if for some bad reason he ended up in the system and up for adoption, I want to know he'd be protected and not end up in the hands of someone like Frank Lombard because he's black and less protected.

"The system"...? If a person is so not independent to think that the system is in control, God help us. We are the system, and we control the system. We can only blame ourselves for not paying attention. If we let some morons be in charge of the adoption system because nobody with a brain will do the job, then whose fault is it really? I gues it is us self-righteous, sickened people who are not doing a thing about these very sad happenings. We are too busy typing on the internet, horrified, but still doing nothing but bickering about race and whose to blame.

Castration of pedophiles should be put to a popular vote. Any person with a child would vote for it, and I think we would be a majority over the sickos. Shall we start a petition?

Anyone who thinks there's a connection between homosexuality and pedophilia is completely ignorant; in our society there is simply no excuse for ignorance.

Do humanity a favor and do some real research: facts are your friends.

jazzman -

I am not pretending that is is not racism. It just isn't! This is just another awful story that you your twisting into a racist situation. There are times in my life that I have been treated unfairly or may not have been treated as fairly as another person. I don't go around turing it into a racist issue. Black people are not the only people that experience race issues.

The comment "Adopting a child was easy. Especially a black one" is not a racist comment if you are not reading into it or if you were intelligent enough to step back and take a look at the adoption system in this country.

My white sister just adopted to 2 black little girls (obviously they will grow up with psychiatric problems now) if they waited it would take years to get a white child. That means mostly white people are adopting or mostly black people are giving children up for adoption or a little of both. That is the problem and the monsters are working it which is very unfortunate. It is a problem not racism!! Can you see the difference?

I have 2 daughters as well ages 4 & 8. I hear stories all the time about young girls being abducted and awful things happening. Men picking up young girls on the internet. I pray to god I am never in that situation. Awful people find ways to do what they want and they will work the system and that is what is scary!. This guy knew it would be easier to adopt a black boy because they are more available not because the adoption process gives them away quicker to anyone who wants a child! It is unfortunate that it has happened to black little boys but I don't believe the system gives black little boys away any different than white little boys. There are just more of them to be adopted and the process doesn't take as long!

I have never posted a comment before today but reading this story and hearing it being turned into racism just makes me sick! Even though I am sure nothing I have said will sink in or open your mind to what I am saying at least I said my peace.

If anything, this case has brought attention to the problem and hopefully something will be done about it.

Breal,

Thanks for digging that up. I'm sure Kate In Greensboro will now claim Lombard was just pretending to be gay.

As Jack Nicholsonsaid in the movie, and would say to Kate and others who think like her, "you can't handle the truth"

This is ridiculously sad.

I am black. the story really doesn't have anything to do with race, and it gets tiring when people like you find ways to make sad news like this about race

I agree Charlie, its ridiculously sad when someone claiming to be black can't see the racism in a system that easily turns black children over to pedophiles, even after the pedophile tells us it does.

Of course changing that system is not about race, because we should all be working together to do that.

and if you weren't as ignorant as you've shown to be

The true ignorance displayed here is by you and those like you who seem too dense to either grasp my meaning, or are so caught up in pretending racism is dead they will never admit its an issue in this.

Now if you can't grasp my meaning, that doesn't make me ignorant, it means you may need to think a little harder about what I'm stating here.

I agree Powers.

the FACT that 'gays' can choose not to engage in homosexual behavior,

Sure. The same way that straight people could refrain from heterosexual behaviour.

Years ago I read of a single man who paid a surrogate mother to bear him a child. He later beat the child to death because it would not stop crying.

Your point is? There are plenty of mothers and straight people who have killed their own children; or are you choosing to ignore that fact to support your "preconceived agenda".

The science had never found a case of "gay" in the animal kingdom - with the exception of homo sapiens

Wrong. Like you said a little further down there are more than 1,500 species that have had known gay animals. I have not heard about the gay professor who conducted research; all of the researchers whom I have read (and there are quite a few) explicitly stated that they were straight and were not trying to push any kind of agenda. They were simply observing and reporting, which is what a good researcher does. The basis for these conclusions, were that there were some same sex animal partners who tried to mate, raise babies, got "jealous" when other animals interacted with their mate, and literally everything else that animal couples do.

OH and btw I think your bigotry is showing...just a little bit :)

How can you read a story like this and focus on the race of the child... It was a child for God's sake! It makes no difference what the race of the children are.

It makes a difference when the pedophile states he was able to easily adopt the child due to the race of the child.'

It also makes it easier for this to continue to happen, if you don't understand that.
