Tell us everything you know.
His birth mother was a drug addict who passed him around to pedophiles for drug money. When he was 2 years old, another woman basically bought him and eventually legally adopted him. She had a string of live-in boyfriends who beat Michael. He was removed from the home and placed in a psych ward as a child multiple times. When he was around 8-10 his adoptive mother had a biological daughter with some random who was never really in the picture. Six years later the adoptive mother died. Michael went to live with his grandmother (adoptive mother's mother), and the daughter went to live with an aunt & uncle. The daughter made the abuse claims and the aunt/uncle cut off all contact with Michael. It's only been in the past 2ish years that they reconnected. I believe it started when Michael & Heather got married.

For a while Michael lived in NC. I think that is when he had Cody & Emma. I don't know too much about him during that time.

EDIT - I want to clarify that I don't think any of this excuses his behavior now. He is a piece of shit who should never be allowed around children.

And what proof do you have of any of this?

I agree, this is suspect at best. If he was being raped by pedophiles up until he was two years old, wouldn't he be... y'know... dead? How would anyone even know about this?

Not sure what proof I can offer. I am part of this family, so I was around when he was adopted. The whole family (with the exception of his grandmother) cut off contact when we heard about the abuse. I have not seen him in over 12 years (his mother died in April 2000, and I think it was around 2004 we heard about the abuse). Although I have no contact with him, the rest of the family knows what is going on now because of the sister (Cortney Martin) being in contact with him. Everyone talks (there were lots of phone calls Wednesday when this made the local TV news). I can tell you his birth name was Michael Christopher Lancaster. His adopted mother was Audrey Marie Martin. He grew up in the Baltimore County area.

Do you happen to have any photos of the family only a close friend or relative would be privy to? Anything like that, without disclosing your own personal information. If we can get you verified this is a real boon in the case against them.

This is the story we were told by Audrey when she took him in. I have no way of knowing if she was telling the truth, but the behavior issues he exhibited throughout his childhood were consistent with someone who had been sexually abused. It may have only been once and she exaggerated, who knows. The family wasn't exactly supportive when a poor 20-something year old single girl suddenly decided to take in a toddler.

Provide any evidence of anything otherwise this is just bullshit you're peddling.

I have pictures of Cortney, the sister. Like I said, I don't have any of him because once we heard he molested her, we wanted nothing to do with him.
 
Why wouldn't there exist photos of him before the sexual assault?
i think they mean that they got rid of any photos they had of mike when they heard about the abuse. i've heard of families doing that, like as a way to get closure and satisfaction that you don't see someone shitty as a relative.

@daddyofivesucks if you could provide the family photos of his sister that would be helpful in verifying your story so there isn't too much doubt

I'm sure there were, but this was before Facebook, MySpace, and all of that. It's not like digital pics were a thing at this time. And I definitely didn't keep an album full of his pictures. Pretty sure I'll be able to find one or two in a shoebox though when I get home tonight.

Even before we found out about the assault (which happened before their mother died), once they went to live with different families, Michael wasn't around much. He was 16, weird, and no one liked him.

This is very intriguing information, but for now most of should take this with a grain of salt, if this information is true and you have proof of you connections then great.

My question is why come to us with this?
 
Cleaned up a couple more posts. This thread is only thirty pages long, stop ignoring and overlooking the "we're not a vigilante forum." I don't care how morally repulsed you are it's not our job to contact CPS about pranks. No one is going to listen to you over news agencies and family members and school officials. Or supposed family members, such as...

Not sure what proof I can offer. I am part of this family, so I was around when he was adopted.

You need to provide proof of these very specific complaints. Please send me a PM with proof of who you are - such as a screenshot of a private facebook/twitter post, a picture of an ID with home address blacked out, etc. Until then, I'm threadbanning you for claiming to be part of the family without providing any evidence otherwise.

Thank you for the information. Do you know how they're handling the fallout now?

I do not. Cortney (the sister) was defending them on Facebook Monday when this first started to blow up. She said how all of the negative comments resulting from the invisible ink video were what was really hurting the kids. I imagine they are shitting their pants though. Michael has no skills and I don't think he even graduated high school. All he does is play video games. So they are probably really worried about losing this income. They recently moved from a pretty crappy neighborhood to a really nice one, but they are only renting, so if they can't pay the rent they will be evicted.
