The Mom, Debra Parris Edwards, 69, of Ft. Worth, Texas, is part of a 40-year-old child trafficking network. It involves Mexican drug cartels and Somali child sex networks in 18 states and 20 countries. It has laundered $200 million from up to 8000 phony international adoptions. The network operates under several names. One of them is European Adoption Consultants out of the Cleveland suburb of Strongsville, Ohio. Other business names and their money trails are blacked out of public court records. Federal courts have identified 579 defendants in over 20 federal court jurisdictions. The Parris-Edwards case only identifies four of them. Prosecutors have withheld the names of 579 other defendants from 20 federal court jurisdictions to cover up the scope of Cleveland’s child slavery network.
