The 6 month old daughter of the Terrorist Mass Murders should be adopted, raised and cared for by??? The Family??? Private Agency??? Foreign Country??? And what can/will DNA prove in the future if she is made aware she was adopted??? Finally, could there be a heavy burdened if revealed???

If the surviving family wants to raise her which I think the guy's sister does it should not be an issue unless they are a threat which is proved legally and not based on "a list".

As far as finding out who her parents were like any other adopted child once they are an adult and they are legally allowed to find that out then so be it.
 
The family are the legal guardians.. there is nothing that anyone can to to take her from her family unless they are found unfit to care for her..
 

It's kind of like when they jailed the women associated with Manson. There were several young kids involved. I don't know how many were taken by next of kin, but several were adopted with their records sealed. Having evil parents doesn't condemn the kids...although it would be chilling to find the truth as an adult.
 
The girl can not live a normal life knowing that at 6 months old her unloving parents abandoned her and killed 14 innocent people and injured more. It's bad enough being an orphan but 100 times worst knowing that your parents were twisted mass terrorist murderers and died in a hail of bullets the likes of Bonnie and Clyde. It would be unfair on a child to live, play and grow up in a place where the memory of her parents hideous crime will be forever remembered.
 
Regardless...... The law states that her family has custody and will raise her if they choose to do so... unless of course they can be proven to be unfit.. then she would become a ward of the State... but if that does not happen.... the family will retain custody.

Your OP raised the questions. Now you answered most of them, I think. This is obviously a delicate, difficult, possibly no-win set of circumstances, is it not? imp
 
But must remember the Manson murders, not terrorism but just an American raised loose cannon. These young women murdered people. Including a woman who was perhaps 8 months pregnant in cold blood. You can only pray their children didn't learn the truth until they were old enough to process it. Being raised by family won't definitely make this child a terrorist though.
 
She has an uncle. He was interviewed on tv after the attack. He seemed like a decent guy and could provide a good loving home for her. I hope.
 
If she were here, one of her relatives would have to petition to be appointed her legal guardian or to adopt her, otherwise the State would step in and take custody. If the court finds the petitioner an acceptable parent-substitute (is able to take care of the child, no criminal record, etc.) then the court would award custody to the family petitioner. If the family petitioner is not found fit to be her parent, then the court would place her in the State's custody and put her in foster care until a suitable adoptive home could be found.

When my niece died earlier this year, her son had to petition the courts to become the guardian of his younger siblings. Someone has to be the official guardian/adoptive parent to be responsible for a minor's care, be able to make medical, educational decisions, etc., and step into the parent's shoes. Minors can't just drift into amorphous "family," with no one person legally responsible.

I'd imagine this is the way it works most places.
