23ABC Special Report: West Boys: One Year Later

I would hope that authorities have interviewed other residents from the apartment building the Wests moved out of in Bakersfield.

Some say Orrin and Orson never really made it to Cal City. Some people say the other 4 kids were there, and others say they never saw any kids on that property at all. If the boy's biological mother was working to get her boys back, why did CPS adopt them out? Foster, I could see, but to let some one else adopt them that fast... that seems odd to me. Also I don't hold CPS in high regard at all. They do far more damage than good. They screw up all the time, and they sure screwed up giving those 2 boys to the Wests. CPS should also be deeply investigated by an outside agency.

Children are trafficked through illegal adoption organizations every day, all over the world. I would never hope for a child to be hurt, much less for a child to be a victim of a sex crime. Human trafficking isn’t legally synonymous with sex trafficking. When human trafficking and sexual abuse, sexual assault, etc., are a concomitant act, it is called sex trafficking. Human trafficking is the illegal sell/trade of another human. I would much rather find out that those sweet toddlers were with someone who treats them like the irreplaceable, precious gifts they are instead of hearing they were abused or murdered. Whether they were sold through an illegal adoption or someone ended their innocent, little lives the person(s) responsible will pay the consequences.🙏

[@chris.18045]

I think the reason these boys haven't been found is because whatever happened took place long before they were ever reported missing. Obviously, law enforcement, volunteers, and the public at large are looking for "recently missing" children in the Cal City area. If something happen to them six months or a year prior, witnesses around their home in Bakersfield that may have seen something may no longer remember "an odd/suspicious incident" and CCTV footage from their old neighborhood will long have been overwritten. And if they found remains around that time there wouldn't have even been a missing children's report to match them to. The longer it takes for a crime to be discovered, the more difficult it becomes to find evidence. The police is asking anyone that has seen the boys (in any context) within the year prior to them being reported missing to come forward, which leads me to believe they actually haven't found ANYONE (other than the adoptive parents) that has seen these kids since Thanksgiving of 2019.

As a mother I can tell you there is nothing anyone can say to me to convince me to sign over my kids. Furthermore, it takes months and many court hearings to finalize an adoption.

[@jennyhedouville4515]

Those boys did not go missing in Cal city they have been gone since before they moved to their new area. If this were to little privileged boys they would have already uncovered that the adoptive devils did it or at least found a heavy lead. I am so done with this!!!!!!

[@BuddhaBeanie]

Sometimes cases take a long time to gather enough evidence to prove it. Privileged or not.

[@josieshepherd2483]

What about the siblings how old are they could they say when the last time they saw the 2 boys and if they moved with them there?

[@scorpio663]

😔 I've been wondering about this case and it's so sad to hear the outcome. I knew from the beginning that it had to be the step/ foster parents. Even from their interview they seemed to have no feeling or emotions. Like they just didn't care. How they could just disappear from that area was strange. The story just didn't add up. I hope they get what they deserve and get life !! Why they took their innocent little souls makes me sick . Poor little boys .🥺😥

[@nikopalmer6471]

They are guilty!!! Thank you for creating this segment. I was looking up updates on this case. Unfortunate it's been this long

[@stephanielake71]

Have they checked the house they lived in before. With dogs or digging up the backyard?

[@unrawcutunityinthecommunit2264]

The foster mother can barely keep contact on camera..

[@beachkatz9639]

Unbelievable there’s no law to hold the caregivers of a child that disappears accountable I mean cmon if your responsible for a child and they go missing on your watch there’s fowl play afoot children don’t just disappear into thin air.

[@heygusgus]

I’m sorry but I just have to say, if it gets to the point where your children have been legally adopted by strangers and their names changed, your parental rights have been severed by a court of law. You cannot be “working to get them back.” This takes months and months, if not years and multiple court hearings before your kids can be adopted. Not saying anything about the biological family’s grief and pain in this situation but it’s always incredibly frustrating when a tragedy happens and all of a sudden people crawl out of the woodwork with the “we tried to protect the kids” stuff.

[@chris.18045]

Absolutely. The kids were removed from the home for a reason, once the biological parents sign off on the adoption they lose the right to their children. Most of the time the kids are better off with the family that adopts and treasures them. Unfortunately, in this case (due to California changing the rules and paying adoptive parents now for what should be done out of love and not for money) the motive for Jacqueline and Trezell to adopt children was financial. He made about $10,000 a year "working" (that's not even a part-time job) and they got most of their income from adopting and fostering children. I don't believe they cared for those boys at any point and describing them as "rambunctious" makes me think that as the boys grew into toddlerhood and became vocal and active, it was simply too much work and they got rid of them (long before they reported them missing).

[@heygusgus]

@@chris.18045 I agree! It has just never sat well with me that bio-families always come out of the woodwork when some tragedy like this happens. They’re the first ones to start a fricken gofundme but I can bet those same “family members” to the boys never went through the process to become foster parents, never showed up to the plethora of court dates, most likely never stepped up when the boys were still with the biological mother and father, etc etc. I do still hold out hope that these “parents for profit” are held accountable though. I believe it’s only a matter of time before one of them rolls over on the other one. If you don’t even have loyalty to these helpless tiny lives that you’re entrusted with, then it’s only a matter of time before you betray an adult that holds the key to your freedom.

[@kaity7777]

Exactly! I agree 100% the same things happening right now in nh with little Harmony Montgomery. The birth mother is now saying she tried I call bs that's not trying 2 yrs is not trying. I hope shes found and these two sweet boys are found as well.

[@WhisperGray]

Court can be just as crooked as any other system.. Question everything. People are often coerced into signing over property, pets, or kids vs facing serious prison time.. not everyone has a half a million dollars to afford a legal team- which it would take to fight the government.

[@Beware3635]

It came out that they wasn’t supposed to be adopted in the first place the court made a mistake.

[@priscillaribeiro1988]

Since I found out about this case I also always wondered why the adoptive family didn’t have any recent pictures no family pictures of them no just regular pictures it was their old pictures from the biological family which is very odd to me

Anyone who has watched the ONE televised interview of the Wests knows what’s up. What’s impossible is understanding how they can still be out and about, not arrested. Do NOT even tell me that wasn’t the sketchiest interview ever given. Sketchy, sketchy, SKETCHY! Where are the Wests now? Do they have their other children back?

[@spacecowgurl57]

Every single time I watch the interview of the adoptive/foster parents it's off. He has his arms tucked to accentuate his biceps. She continues to rock back and forth looking around and stumbling over words. No comfort to each other. He enjoyed having a mask on .

The moment these monsters started talking, I knew we were never gonna see those babies again. Anyone with a functioning brain can tell that they're guilty but worst of all they're getting away with it.

[@position9925]

Trezell barrowed money from the social worker, and was close to her. That women and the ppl who supported the adoption have to know something. As well as the false report thats proven with the neighbors footage , the parents cooperating isn't enough considering they started out with so many lies. Footage needs to surface of him always pulling in and out from the back of the complex they previously lived in. Merry Christmas and love and peace to the families and the community helping ❤💕🙏

[@MidWestLife2022]

This!!! No social worker loans $5,000 to a family, idc if they were "friends" she gave him that $$ for a reason and it is not what they are saying it's for. Was this family really that hard up for cash????

[@fabledfantasty7343]

position..... They weren't "holiday shopping" while the boys were outside playing, the adoptive mother was wrapping Christmas gifts, in the house, while the boys were supposedly outside with the father. What does "Trezell loaned money from the social worker", mean? It's "bold face lie", not "bull face lie". Educate yourself on how to use grammer, so people can understand wtf you're saying!

[@chris.18045]

@@MidWestLife2022 It was the loan officer (associated with the purchase of the house) that loaned him the $5000. I find it odd too, however, maybe she did it so the sale would go through and everyone is getting their commission? According to Venmo records he did pay her $3000 back so far.

The West boys belong to all of us in a way. It’s our responsibility as people who can advocate for these precious babies, to do just that. We can’t let these boys loose this fight. I don’t see their precious faces as often as I did a few months ago and that absolutely kills me.. These precious babies have to be found. We can’t take certain people’s silence, as an answer. We have to keep reminding those people that It’s not even an option. 😢💜🙏

The whole situation with the Adoptive Parents is quite unsettling ! The statement given after their disappearance alone sounds rehearsed and disjointed! It’s obvious foul play occurred!
