California Couple Arrested for Child Abuse in Surrogacy Case Involving 21 Children
A California couple, Guojun Xuan and Silvia Zhang, were arrested in Arcadia for alleged child abuse involving 21 children, most born via surrogacy. Authorities described the home as a "house of horrors," citing daily physical abuse by nannies under the couple's supervision, who reportedly watched via surveillance cameras. Charges include child abuse, conspiracy, and dissuading a witness. The case emerged after a two-month-old infant suffered a severe head injury. Prosecutors seek $100 million bail due to the severity and flight risk.
