首尔高等法院为韩国政府、Holt儿童服务机构清理了被收养人虐待案件。 Seoul High Court clears South Korean government, Holt Children's Services in adoptee abuse case.

韩国一家法院在 49 岁的被收养者亚当·克拉普瑟 （Adam Crapser） 提起的诉讼中免除了政府和霍尔特儿童服务公司的责任，他在美国度过了受虐待的童年，并于 2016 年被驱逐到韩国。 A South Korean court cleared the government and Holt Children's Services of liability in a lawsuit by a 49-year-old adoptee, Adam Crapser, who faced an abusive childhood in the U.S. and deportation to South Korea in 2016. 首尔高等法院推翻了下级法院要求Holt向Crapser支付68,600美元赔偿金的命令,裁定虽然Holt本应告知Crapser的父母如何获得公民身份,但政府并没有错。 The Seoul High Court overturned a lower court's order for Holt to pay Crapser $68,600 in damages, ruling that while Holt should have informed Crapser's parents about securing his citizenship, the government was not at fault. 两个实体都援引了1970年代的一项收养法,因助长欺诈做法而受到批评,从而取消了对外国收养的司法监督。 Both entities cited a 1970s adoption law, criticized for enabling fraudulent practices, which removed judicial oversight of foreign adoptions.
