(CNN) -- The state of Wisconsin is investigating a couple who were foster and adoptive parents there before moving to Oklahoma, where they face charges of child neglect and abuse in a case the sheriff calls the worst he has seen.

John Kluth, 50, and Sonja Kluth, 57, of Yukon, Oklahoma, are accused by the district attorney's office of three counts of child abuse and three counts of child neglect, Oklahoma authorities said.

Canadian County Sheriff Randall Edwards said the Kluths' adopted children allegedly suffered burns and were forced to eat pet food and lived in "inhumane conditions" at their Oklahoma home. "They have been raised worse than dogs," Edwards said of the three malnourished juveniles, who are 9, 11 and 15.

Originally, the three alleged victims were foster children and were adopted by the Kluths in Wisconsin, Oklahoma officials said.

The Kluths were receiving $1,500 per child per month* from Wisconsin after they moved to Oklahoma, Edwards said Thursday.

The Wisconsin Department of Children and Families is now withholding adoption assistance payments, said Erika Monroe-Kane, communications director for the department.

The last payment to the Kluths was made February 9, she said. FULL STORY

*Considering how many kids are kidnapped from their parents because of POVERTY, it behooves us to observe that a real parent could head off a LOT of poverty with $1500 a month per kid.

A husband and wife who officials say left the state after they were reported for child abuse are facing life in prison in Oklahoma for the abuse and torture of three children they adopted in Wisconsin.

Even after allegations of abuse were reported to Wisconsin officials, sparking what Canadian (Oklahoma) County Sheriff Randall Edwards called "a very limited investigation," and after the family left the state, Wisconsin continued to pay the couple $1,500 a month for each of the three children.

"I don't know how they can send them money with no kind of follow-up, with no check or balances," Edwards said. FULL STORY

Well Sheriff, you see it's like this- CPS does NOT give a rat's ass what happens to kids once the Federal Funding stream is flowing nicely.
