A gay couple in England will stand trial this week for raping and murdering their adopted baby, just 13 months old. The baby died in 2023 but the two men will appear in court on Monday. The defendants—Jamie Varley, 36, a schoolteacher, and his partner John McGowan‑Fazakerley, 31—had adopted Preston Davey, who died at a local hospital just months after being placed in their care. The official cause of death has not yet been confirmed, but the men have been charged with murder, manslaughter, sexual assault by penetration, child cruelty, and possession and distribution of indecent images. You can infer the level of depravity from the charges alone. This week’s hearing could reveal more forensic details and expose how this horrifying abuse unfolded. But the larger social question is this: How did these men get custody of a baby? Was the adoption process so blinded by ideology or institutional fear of appearing discriminatory that red flags were overlooked? And how will this case affect public trust in the vetting of any adoptive parents—especially same-sex couples, who are often defended with blanket assumptions of moral superiority? This case isn’t just about justice for one child. It’s about whether a system designed to protect the vulnerable is now operating with its guard down—and whether some questions are now being silenced in the name of progress.

A monthlong investigation in Texas snared 244 alleged online child-sex predators, the FBI and other agencies announced at a June 10 news conference in Dallas. “We’re taking them off the street and not stopping,” FBI Director Kash Patel wrote in a social media post. The FBI Dallas office’s special agent in charge, R. Joseph Rothrock, told reporters that a common goal united more than 70 federal, state, and local agencies: “to rescue children from abuse and exploitation.”

Texas law enforcement agencies rescued 109 children and arrested 244 suspected offenders in a large-scale operation targeting online child exploitation, said the FBI. The monthlong initiative, called Operation Soteria Shield, was conducted in April by more than 70 Texas law enforcement agencies and federal partners, across the north of the state.

Authorities call it a successful round up of child sex offenders, but it also shows how widespread the crime is in North Texas.  The Dallas FBI office and some of the 70 law enforcement agencies that participated announced the results of Operation Soteria Shield on Tuesday.  These are the faces of the 244 men and women charged with exploiting children for the purpose of sex trafficking or pornography. 

The latest inflation data show consumer prices rose an average of less than 0.1 percent in May, a total rebuttal to mainstream media forecasts that President Trump’s economic policies wound cause catastrophic inflation. Instead, the monthly rate of prices increases has fallen by four-fifths in just four months. And there’s more good news ahead for Americans.

After one of his first-term appointees ruled against him in a major challenge to his tariffs, Trump launched a public tirade against the former chair of...
