Parents of adopted children full of love

The sexual abuse of an 8-year-old adopted Chinese girl that lasted for four years in the state of Washington in the United States was a tragedy.

Justice was done last Thursday when Donna Marie Whisenhunt, the girl's mother, was sentenced to 16 years in prison. Her father, Eddy Tony Whisenhunt, received 18 years last month.

The crime has appalled both Chinese and Americans. The website of the Olympian, a newspaper based in Washington state, was left with plenty of messages condemning the couple and hailing the punishment. Some demand that the penalty be more severe.
