Description

Joel Kohnert was a lieutenant with Broward Fire Rescue, and his wife, Jennifer Kohnert, was a stay-at-home mom. The Kohert's life in social media looked picture-perfect. But the state attorney in Broward County, Florida, said the Kohnerts abused their 12-year-old foster daughter for years. And now, the Kohnerts face new charges related to the biological children. Law&Crime's Angenette Levy breaks it down in this episode of Crime Fix — a daily show covering the biggest stories in crime.

Had her since 2 months old and said “we can give her back” 12 years later? These people are pure evil.

Foster children should not be allowed to be homeschooled. They need other mandatory reporters in their life to keep an eye out for signs of abuse and neglect and teachers are a first line of defense.

She was being paid by the state as a foster parent, so she didn't just morally fail the kid she defrauded the state

They raised that child since she was 2 months old.. whatever she does she does out of fear. They targeted her.. they made her feel less than the others. Those are cold parents.

She suffered enough! May a wonderful home be found for the child so she can heal.

I'd probably be violent with my siblings too if I was treated so poorly and they were clearly loved more.

These monsters don't deserve to be around kids. Lock them up for a very long time.

Foster kids can’t catch a break. Unsafe in the system, unsafe in foster homes too.
