    Overriding {local_link} or {permalink} template parameters https://support.earnware.com/feedspress/overriding-local_link-or-permalink-template-parameters/ Thu, 14 May 2020 00:24:31 +0000 http://support.earnware.biz/?p=9597
  • If your template has the links wrapped in {permalink}, to change them to a local link use the  change_to_local_link=”true” parameter (see Examples below).
    Note: Please also add the wrap_image_with_link=”true” parameter to link the images as well
  • If your template has the links wrapped in {local_link},  to change them to a permalink use the change_to_permalink=”true” parameter (see Examples below).
    Note: Please also add the wrap_image_with_link=”true” parameter to link the images as well

    • In this case also please set up the same template on both article_detail_template=”” and template=”” parameters, so it wouldn’t cache that page with a detail page. Otherwise it will show both the article_detail_template feed. Also make sure to add ignore_filter=”true” as the feed items get filtered with the current item that you’re trying to view. In order to stop the filter you’ll need to set it to true.
  • See all FeedsPress parameters here.

    Systemic failures in child welfare oversight allowed a 6-year-old adopted girl to die and her fate to remain hidden for years, exposing dangerous gaps in government accountability that demand urgent reform.

    Story Snapshot

    • An adopted 6-year-old, Kennedy Schroer, died after being punished and forced into a box; her body was hidden for four years.
    • Authorities only uncovered the crime after the adoptive mother’s suicide attempt in 2024 led to police investigation.
    • Crystina Schroer was sentenced to nearly 18 years in prison; the adoptive father awaits sentencing.
    • This tragedy highlights alarming failures in child welfare oversight and post-adoption checks, fueling calls for reform.

    Tragic Discovery Unveils Oversight Failures in Adoption System

    In Rose Hill, Kansas, the horrifying case of Kennedy Schroer’s death revealed deep cracks in America’s child welfare system. Kennedy, adopted by Crystina and Joseph Schroer, died in late 2020 after being stuffed in a box as punishment—a method of discipline that ultimately led to her suffocation. Instead of reporting the tragedy, Crystina concealed Kennedy’s body in the backyard, where it remained undiscovered for four years. The case only came to light in September 2024 after police responded to Crystina’s suicide attempt and launched a thorough investigation that unearthed Kennedy’s remains.

    Authorities found that during the years Kennedy’s body was hidden, the Schroer household continued to raise both biological and adopted children under a pattern of systematic abuse and neglect. Crystina misled relatives and officials, claiming Kennedy had been taken back by the state due to behavioral issues. The abuse extended to other children, who were only removed and placed in state custody after the truth was finally uncovered. Law enforcement and prosecutors have since emphasized the urgent need to protect the surviving children and ensure their recovery, but the damage inflicted highlights how oversight can fail the most vulnerable.

    Prosecution, Sentencing, and Systemic Shortcomings

    In November 2025, Crystina Schroer pleaded no contest to second-degree murder and received a sentence of nearly 18 years in prison. Her husband, Joseph, faces pending charges and is awaiting sentencing. The Butler County Attorney’s Office and the Rose Hill Police Department led the investigation, while the Sedgwick County Forensic Science Center confirmed Kennedy’s cause of death. All surviving children from the Schroer household are now in state care, receiving trauma support. The prosecution’s actions brought criminal accountability, but the case’s exposure came far too late to prevent the suffering endured by Kennedy and her siblings.

    Child welfare experts point to this tragedy as evidence of significant gaps in post-adoption monitoring, particularly in homes with documented histories of abuse. Despite multiple children living under one roof, authorities failed to detect the ongoing abuse or the disappearance of an adopted child for years. Experts are calling for reforms to strengthen post-adoption follow-up, increase caseworker training, and ensure more robust checks on adoptive families, especially those caring for children with special needs or behavioral challenges. These calls echo longstanding conservative concerns about government agencies failing to fulfill their duty to protect children, often due to excessive bureaucracy, lack of accountability, or misplaced priorities.

    Broader Impact: Policy Reform and Protection of Vulnerable Children

    The Schroer case has triggered public outrage and renewed scrutiny of the systems tasked with protecting vulnerable children. In the short term, surviving children are safe and receiving necessary care, but the long-term trauma from such abuse can last a lifetime. Politically, the case is fueling calls for legislative reform to ensure more frequent and unannounced welfare checks for adopted and foster children. Socially, trust in the adoption system has eroded, with families and communities demanding higher standards and transparency from state agencies.

    While most adoptive families are loving and responsible, this tragedy exposes how a lack of effective oversight can enable the worst outcomes. Conservatives have long warned that government overreach, red tape, and misplaced ideological agendas can cloud the basic mission of protecting children and upholding family values. The Schroer case stands as a stark reminder that safeguarding children must remain a core priority, free from political distractions and enforced with uncompromising vigilance.

    Calls for Accountability and Lasting Change

    Law enforcement and prosecutors in Butler County continue to support the affected children and work to prevent similar cases in the future. Nationally, policymakers are now considering stricter post-adoption protocols, enhanced background checks, and better training for child welfare workers. The tragedy underscores the need for government to return to its fundamental responsibilities—protecting the innocent, upholding the law, and ensuring families are not failed by the very systems meant to shield them. Without meaningful reform, cases like Kennedy Schroer’s could happen again, eroding public trust and putting more children at risk.
