Interesting theory about witchcraft in the olden days - any cites/links for that? I don't doubt it, just genuinely curious.
As for what the family did to get into a 400k house we don't know anything about divorce settlements, alimony, child support, etc. that could have made their financial picture just acceptable enough to qualify for a housing loan. They may have found a HUD property, who knows. There is also the possibility of seller financing, which given the political bent of the area they would have an advantage given their "progressive" family structure.
The news reports confirm the
vehicle software shows no braking and no driving on an incline, meaning the vehicle went straight off the cliff without even slowing down.
The accelerator was floored.
They'd only been in their house about ten months before a neighbor called child protective services - the kids
weren't even being fed, apparently - but that shouldn't matter to their defenders:

"Jen and Sarah really were the kind of parents that I think the world desperately needs," friend Zippy Lomax told KOIN.
Given who
Zippy is, it really means those are the kinds of parents her spinster-feminist world desperately needs, to convince her she's right no matter how many kids are dead.
While her facebook account is still up, you can see by the comments on the cover photo all of Jennifer Hart's shitlib friends bending over backwards praising their "family" which in the end consisted of little more than props for two leftist nut jobs to virtue signal to the world.
One of her friends posted this self-serving pity fest (public comment, from her
FB cover photo) written by one of the responsible parents:

... ?Here’s an ominous message that Jen Hart wrote on her fb page last summer...after their ‘Hug Seen Around The World’ notoriety and challenges. This is a glimpse of their experience...
“I unplugged from Facebook for over half of this year. I've had to change my/our phone number(s) twice. I've steered clear of public settings for the most part. Rather than answering the floods of messages like: Where have you been? Why haven't you responded to my texts? Etc - I'll try and address SOME of the things that led to the disconnect.
This. Year. Slammed. Us. Hard. It was as if we were continuously seeing this "Proceed No Further" sign showing up in a myriad of ways.
Extremely simplified explanation:
Loss of a friend
Loss of 5 animals (2 in the last month) (....animals...listed ahead of cancer.)
Serious stalking and threats of violence towards me and my family (police reports-?)
Robbed/vandalism (ditto.... police reports?)
Cancer (if true, I'd expect this to be leveraged even more for whatever it's worth)
3 job transfers(Sarah)
Several other very challenging medical diagnosis (mental, perhaps? SSRI medication use? Toxicology results should be interesting.)
Surgery
Sarah: rear ended in a car accident. Totaled
Discrimination from the government & insurance companies - which nearly led to homelessness weeks before closing on our home. Yeah. This is still a thing that happens. Thanks to my wife for being a badass superhero along side of me to combat this bs. (details? This kind of thing can be a lucrative lawsuit path, so what happened?)
*All of this while home hunting non stop for over a year.
*All of this during an already very terrifying time in this country (and Portland...holy shit) (There it is - blaming Trump!)
*All of this while trying to be supportive and loving wife whilst raising 6 teenagers.
So, where have I(we) been?
SELF CARE, y'all. I've been taking care of myself and my family. Our safety, emotional and physical health are always the absolute most important things. Period. Releasing the expectations to show up here or elsewhere was vital in my own healing. I am no service to others if my tank is empty. (or if your pickup is at the bottom of a cliff full of dead kids, but I digress.)
What do we need? What we need is loving understanding that there is a lot going on, and that we are working on putting our lives back together now that we've finally purchased our new home/land. Time. Trust building. Time. Trust building. TIME. We've been fighting the good fight always - just a little more behind the scenes than usual.
What we don't need:
-pity or sorrow for these struggles
-guilt trips for not meeting your expectations (instead, please take our guilt trips!)
-pressure of any kind. (like CPS officers. Just go away, please!)
We've embarked on an incredible new journey up on some beautiful land in Washington. After over 4 1/2 years in the PNW, we finally feel at HOME. We're looking forward to sharing it with everyone... when the time is right.
Big?Love
Oh - and if you still have our old phone numbers, please don't text or call them anymore...unless you like really colorful language from strangers.?”
- Jen Hart, June 2017
The amount of megalomania in that letter defies description. - seriously, a few animals die and you forget to feed your kids? Most people think of events like this as - LIFE, which sometimes sucks.
Not to worry - they still have plenty of allies willing to spin things even more:

A Letter to the Media and the World at Large-
The world as I knew it changed on Monday with the discovery that my friend, Jen Hart, her wife Sarah, and their six children passed away (you mean murdered, right) after their vehicle drove off a cliff in Californa. My heart broke, and I couldn't believe that this had happened. In the days since then, I feel like the world has continued to crumble as a result of media speculation, rumors, and unsubstantiated claims. The inaccuracies of the reports I'm reading are breaking me. This is not the Jen I know; not the family the world knows.
Opening up their personal lives to public scrutiny is degrading. But if we are going to do that, then let's really look. Fact: Child Protective Services was called. An investigation was not conducted, so I have no evidence there to look at. So, what do I know? Quite a bit.
I know that Jen and Sarah Hart adopted six children, two sets of three siblings, from uncommonly bad situations. Their problems ran the gamut. They'd seen violence, been abused, been starved and neglected. Some were born addicted to drugs. Their food insecurities before adoption lead to food hoarding and stealing issues. That's what happens when you don't know if you will be fed again. These kids faced unimaginable traumas. (....and since the adoption, their situation improved exactly how-?)
Jen and Sarah were overjoyed to adopt these children, but it was not a smooth transition. These kids had lost faith in people and had no ability to trust. They were developmentally behind, socially behind, and unable to manage behaviors. (...kids are more work than pets - who knew?) They were on medications for several medical diagnoses and weren't receiving proper care. Jen and Sarah accepted all of that and took on the struggles of forming a safe and loving family. It was not easy, and they had their lows. Reports keep bringing up a 2011 incident where CPS was notified. Sarah admitted her anger had gone too far. She accepted responsibility. Was she a perfect parent? No. Have you ever gone too far? Let your anger get out of control? I have. It's ugly to admit, but it is the truth. (Sure, because so many people in my neighborhood get arrested for physically abusing their kids to the point of visible injury I've lost count. Happens all the time; no big deal - you ever raise kids? Really...)
Recently, there have been new allegations from neighbors. Allegations that weren't able to be researched, allegations that even if are true still make sense for children who were born into traumatic/food insecure situations, and allegations that contradict everything I have ever known about this family. (The food trauma should not continue after adoption by parents ostensibly able to provide a few Wheaties now and then. Or was Whole Foods all out of organic barley malt that week?)There are also claims that they never went outside even when it was nice, giving more cause for me to question the claims of neighbors as this family valued the outdoors and travel in ways that no other family I know does. On one of their adventures, my family was lucky enough to have Jen, and the six kids stay with us. These kids were happy, silly, kind and loving. (uh huh. And now they're dead.)
The media and the speculations are breaking my heart. These are the things you've dug up and chosen to report. In your digging, did you find a couple who ordered pizzas for friends across the country when the wife broke both of her legs? (She did. That was me.) Did you find mothers who were desperate to give their kids every opportunity to learn and educate themselves on music, art, home improvement, cooking, history, science, government, literature, culture, and anything else they had an interest in? Did you find a family who was desperate to show love and compassion to EVERYONE regardless of race, religion, or sexual orientation? Did you find that they lived and preached nonviolent ways to change the evils of the world? Did you find a family who had a strong love for animals and the earth?
Did you find a lesbian couple raising six black children who were often scrutinized for their nontraditional family? Did you find two mothers who moved their family a few times to shield them from media and community members who threatened them or caused their children to question if their nontraditional family was wrong? Did you find some imperfect parents that made a good scandalous story? Because you started printing your stories before you even knew the relationships between Jen, Sarah, and the kids. You started speculating about the horrendous things that could be before you attempted to look at both sides. This family loved out loud, and you can easily find stories of that, but none of them are plastered across the internet.
(now that you mention it, I found an assortment of adopted kids taking the place of pets, used as virtue signaling props when convenient for the self absorbed mental cases calling themselves mothers who couldn't even take care of themselves properly, let alone multiple children. And recently I found reports of a few bodies in a crushed pickup truck at the bottom of a cliff - they're still looking for the rest of them. Will let you know what they find. )
My Jen is a kind, compassionate, strong, loving woman who did everything to be genuinely herself, even when that meant taking the road less traveled. She was a lesbian from a small town in South Dakota. She and her wife had a loving, long-term marriage. (Two decades isn't easy for anyone these days!) As a gay couple, they adopted. They adopted older kids... groups of siblings, so they didn't have to be separated... children that were black and therefore didn't look like them... children who came from really rough backgrounds. They never made a choice because it was easy. They made it because it was right. (Your Jen is a dead child murderer.)
This family was amazing. This couple was the example of marriage and parenting that I looked to and wanted to emulate. Were they perfect? Absolutely not. And maybe there is more to this than I know. But the media and the neighbors who are being interviewed are presenting a very dark picture of a family that brought so much compassion and happiness to this world. They are looking for a story and looking for the worst because that is what gets readers. (It's dark because murder cases aren't exactly sunshine and rainbows.)
Unsubstantiated, out of context, claims are creating a story that doesn't deserve to exist. I know that I am not a news outlet; that I am just one person. But I can't keep reading all of these things and not stand up for Jen. She stood up for everyone. If the last thing I can ever do for her is to write this, then I will do it gladly even if the only one who ever reads it all the way through is me. (Your stupidity, vanity and abject self righteousness will be memorialized forever on the Internet.)
Jen, I love you. I promise to love unconditionally, even those who don't deserve it. I will be thankful for the right that I have to use my voice. And I will appreciate the differences in race, religion, culture, art, and humanity. Your mark was made on this earth long ago. No worries my friend; we will remember and keep it going.
Sincerely,
Jammie Hermans Gaffer
Did anyone else count how many times she referred to herself in that passage? The political message is more important than the dead kids.
Shades of Parkland going on here. Question is - which high school kids are organizing the march this time, and against who?
Chevrolet! Because pickup trucks are misogyny!
