Margaret CantrellQUITMAN — Four children linked to a notorious child sex case are getting new foster care. Last week, according to KETK, a Wood County court ordered a 16-year-old girl be taken from the care of Margie (pictured) and John Cantrell, her foster parents, after Child Protective Services claimed there was child abuse in the home. The Cantrells, ironically, were the ones who first alerted authorities that four of their foster children claimed they had been subjected to lewd acts at the so-called Mineola “Swingers Club.” Six people were eventually convicted in Smith County, though an appeals court reversed all but one decision.

At a hearing Tuesday, the court ordered the 16-year-old and three other children removed from the Cantrells’ home as recommended by the CPS. The Cantrells will be allowed very limited time with the children and only if the children desire it, and must undergo regular drug tests. Another hearing will be held on December 6.
