For the love of a child

Richmond mother outraged about abuse of children

Johnson’s girls — now ages 5, 6 and 8 — were adopted in April 2006 by a Danville woman after Johnson and the girls’ father’s parental rights were severed by the state Cabinet for Families and Children. The adoptive mother, Patricia Anne Harris, 54, now is facing nine counts of criminal abuse, two counts of first-degree sodomy and one count of having a first-degree unlawful transaction with a minor allegedly for abusing the children.
