Neighbor: Adoptive Parents Who Kept Teen Girl in Dog Shock Collar & Locked in Chicken Coop Just “Doing What the Bible Says”
We’re tempted to say, “The two inbred degenerates you see at left are Diana and Samuel Franklin of Butler, Georgia,” but we can’t say that, as we have no evidence they are actually inbred. So, we’ll just give you a news video and the facts from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation — after this note from WTVM, which doesn’t surprise us at all: “[A] neighbor said that Diana Franklin would only feed her daughter bread and water as punishment for days on end. The neighbor says that Diana Franklin told her that she was ‘doing what the Bible says.’”
At approximately 7:00 a.m. [July 10, 2012], Diana and Samuel Franklin, of 783 East Old Wire Road, Butler, Georgia, were arrested in an ongoing GBI Child Abuse Investigation requested by Taylor County Sheriff Jeff Watson.
On July 8th, Superior Court Judge Frank Jordan issued Arrest Warrants charging Diana Franklin with 12 counts of 1st Degree Cruelty to Children and 4 counts of False Imprisonment. Judge Jordan also issued Arrest Warrants for Samuel Franklin charging him with 8 counts of 1st Degree Cruelty to Children and 8 counts of False Imprisonment. Following the arrests, the Franklins were transported to the Taylor County Jail.
Background
The arrests stem from a May 25th discovery by representatives of the Taylor County Sheriff’s Office and the Department of Family and Children Services (DFCS). DFCS received information that a child was being abused at the Franklin residence. The information indicated that the abuse included locking the child in a storage building, chicken coup [sic] and outhouse for days at a time. During the May 25th visit, DFCS personnel found sufficient cause to seek a temporary custody order. A temporary custody order was issued by Juvenile Court Judge Wayne Jernigan, Sr. and the child was removed from the home the same day. The order has been extended on at least one occasion and remains in effect.
After the May 25th finding, Taylor County Sheriff Jeff Watson contacted the Region 2 – Columbus office to request GBI assistance. Special Agent in Charge Wayne Smith assigned Child Abuse Specialist Leigh Brooks to head the investigation. Agent Brooks formally opened the case on May 30th. In addition to conducting interviews with potential witnesses and reviewing relevant documentation, the GBI executed a Search Warrant at the Franklin home on Monday, June 4, 2012.
The investigation remains active and no other information is being released at this time.
Once finished, the GBI will provide a Case Report to the office of Chattahoochee Judicial Circuit District Attorney Julia Slater for review and any prosecutorial action deemed appropriate.

We’re tempted to say, “The two inbred degenerates you see at left are Diana and Samuel Franklin of Butler, Georgia,” but we can’t say that, as we have no evidence they are actually inbred.
And here I thought you were going to say you have no proof they’re actually from Georgia.
The neighbor says that Diana Franklin told her that she was ‘doing what the Bible says
Well, then, it would be religious persecution to prosecute them, or even question/criticize them.
We probably should ask for long-form birth certificates… Uh, do they issue birth certificates in Georgia?
The defenders of Michael Salman would agree!
