Five of the ten children adopted by Jonathan and Allison Schumm were physically abused by their adoptive parents. 

The Schumms had received an Angels in Adoption award in 2013. This makes them the second couple from Kansas that got this prestigious award and ended up abusing children. The other couple were Brandon and Melissa Hoffman. Both families were nominated by Jerry Moran.
