Please take time to read the entire article. They started sending Jonah to child discipline facilities at the age if 13. He was taken to Jamaica in handcuffs. He had not committed a crime.
After he had returned, Bevins tried to get rid of him again, by claiming his dead mother eas rrally alove and that he woukd send Jonah to Ethiopia to meet his relatives. A weird handler would accompany him, Jonah grew concerned and backed out.
This is trafficking. The candidate for Governor of Kentucky and his wife abandoned the son they "adopted."
*****
He calls it, with irony, his “great escape.”
Three days after his adoptive parents — former Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin and his wife, Glenna — sent him to a youth facility in Jamaica, Jonah Bevin attempted to flee after witnessing staff brutally beat another youth.
“I got beat really, really bad,” Jonah said in a telephone interview with the Kentucky Lantern, adding that he was punched, kicked and struck repeatedly with a chair.
Jonah, then 17, said he had run to the nearby beach before staff caught him and returned him to the Atlantis Leadership Academy, located on a Jamaican beachfront and advertised online as “the perfect location for healing.”
After the beating, “I was bleeding from my nose, mouth,” he said. “They made me clean it up with a mop. They made me clean up my own blood.”
He added: “I was getting beaten every day.”
Escape wouldn’t come for several months until a year ago when Jamaican child welfare authorities — citing signs of abuse and neglect — swooped in and removed eight youths, effectively shutting the operation down. One Atlantis resident, 18, was sent home to the United States and the others, all minors including Jonah, remained behind as their cases were resolved.
