The couple was accused of hitting their adopted children, and not giving them food. 

In 2010, they were charged with domestic assault and malicious punishment by one of the children’s teachers. Jennifer Hart pleaded guilty to an abuse charge and was sentenced to 90 days in jail. This led the couple to move to Oregon but before they removed the children from school to homeschool them. This was unknown to their family and friends.
