KENTUCKY ( FOX 56 ) — Former Gov. Matt Bevin’s adopted son, who allegedly became a ward of Jamacia, has returned to the U.S. but not to the Bevin family.
A London Times investigation took an unexpected turn, revealing that former Gov. Matt Bevin’s adopted son was one of the three boys left behind at a Jamaican troubled-teen boarding school.
Bevin’s adopted son, now 17 years old, is part of an international spectacle after he and seven other boys were removed from the Atlantis Leadership Academy (ALA) in Jamaica. A July 13 London Times article detailed the “abusive” conditions that allegedly led to staff arrests and ultimately captured the attention of the hotel heiress Paris Hilton.
Hilton, herself “ripped from her bed in the middle of the night” and promised “healing, growth, and support” in a program similar to ALA, attended the boys’ court hearings that ultimately left Bevin’s adopted son in the custody of Jamacia.
