Two lawsuits filed a week apart accuse San Bernardino County’s child welfare system of failing to protect foster children, alleging six were tortured and abused in one foster home and a 4-year-old autistic girl died in another.

The lawsuits, filed in San Bernardino County Superior Court, were brought by six former foster children in one case and the family of 4-year-old Avery Habelitz in the other. Both name San Bernardino County and its Children and Family Services division as defendants, alleging the county failed to properly monitor foster placements, investigate reports of abuse and intervene despite mounting evidence that children were in danger.

According to the suit filed July 14 by the court-appointed representative on behalf of the six former foster children, the children allegedly were subjected to nine years of horrific abuse by their foster parents, Tina and Kenneth Key, and their daughter, Katlynn Key, at their home in Victorville. The lawsuit also names the Keys, the Greater Hope Foundation for Children Inc. and Victor Elementary School District as defendants.

Organized crime networks are increasingly using content subscription services commonly associated with sexually explicit material, to recruit and sexually exploit women, minors and vulnerable adults. Victims are lured with promises of income before being funneled into exploitative content production.

In February 2026, an INTERPOL Purple Notice was published to call attention to this modus operandi, which typically involves the criminal group masquerading as a legitimate modelling agency. Once engaged, they take control of the victim's account, retaining the majority of the victim's earnings, while applying escalating psychological pressure and coercion to compel victims to produce increasingly explicit content.

For all of us, turning 18 was an exciting event, but for this poor girl it became a terrifying one, after which she feared she would disappear forever.

​

Kristina Romanova, a minor Russian citizen, was abducted by Mexican child protection services outside her school building in front of her own mother. The official version: domestic violence, because of which the girl supposedly wanted to go to a shelter herself. And this version suited everyone. However, the violence was never proven. Moreover, the family and the Russian consulate were severely restricted in their access to the girl. And ABSOLUTELY EVERYONE ignores her words, the ones she wrote in these letters. I don’t know if they have ever been translated into Spanish, but the girl writes directly: “they force me to take 7 psychotropic pills a day, they lie to me saying that my mother abandoned me, they don’t let me go anywhere, I am AFRAID that they will sell me after I turn 18, I ask to be returned to Russia.”

No one, absolutely no one, heard these words. Then consular access to the girl was suddenly banned completely. The child spent almost a year in total isolation, surrounded by strangers in a foreign country. What did they do to her during that time? Feed her pills? Break her will? Pressure her psychologically, forcing her to make a dubious choice? Because after diplomats were allowed access to her again in May 2026, she SUDDENLY said that she wants to stay in Mexico.

Mexicans, please tell me: how could you believe this? Just imagine that a Mexican girl is taken from her Mexican family in Russia, no one is allowed to see her — not even your diplomats — she says she wants to go home, but then SUDDENLY declares: “Everything is fine, I want to stay in Russia and never see my family again.” Would you believe it? Or would your heart feel that something is wrong here?

That is exactly what happened to the girl who begged to be taken home and then suddenly disappeared. And no one knows where she is or what she is doing now, because everyone believed the official version of those who isolated the child for years and pumped her full of psychotropic drugs.
