TORRY HANSEN, Under State Investigation, Artem’s Mom Tried to Adopt Second Russian Boy!!!
District Attorney General Chuck Crawford has requested the Bedford County Sheriff’s Department, as well as the Tennessee Bureau of 
Investigation, to look into the matter of the Torry Hansen’s adoption case and abandonment of the Russian boy, Artem Saveliev.
Police said, “Law enforcement in this jurisdiction considers this an extremely serious matter and is proceeding with the investigation accordingly,” according to the statement.
Although Torry Hansen’s family claim that Artem had severe emotional problems, Russian authorities say they have not observed any, since he arrived in Moscow. What’s more shocking, doctors have observed scars and bruises on Artem that look to be only a two to three months old. They have become concerned, that the boy may have been abused while in the care of the Hansen family.
According to ABC news, Torry Hansen had contacted a second adoption agency to bring home a child from the Soviet Republic of Georgia, a source with the sheriff’s department disclosed. Hansen reportedly switched adoption agencies after the agency that arranged the original adoption of Artem, World Association for Children and Parents, urged her to wait before adopting again.. The agency advised Hansen it would be best to settle in with the boy before adding to her family.
Torry Hansen and her mother, Nancy, claim the child was violent and threatened to burn down the house. These claims were never substantiated by a medical expert, nor did the family seek a therapists advice. Also, it appears that Artem was never enrolled in school or received post counseling after the adoption.
Torry Hansen and her family continue to refuse to speak to authorities. The sheriff’s office said they are going to interview the Russian boy via telephone, to investigate child abuse allegations. Also, they are interviewing the first and second adoption agency to gather facts around the Torry Hansen case.
Sources close to the case, say charges against Torry Hansen and her mother could possibly come as early as next week. If any charges are going to be filed at all. For Artem, it looks like his life will have a happy ending. Three families have come forward in Russia to adopt the boy. According to news sources, he will be placed with a diplomat family who have raised two other orphans before.
First, psychiatric tests must be given to this woman by highly qualifed and nationally recognized psychiatrists. Obviously there is something strange going on there. Torry Hansen, the 33 year old single woman, lives, ALONG WITH HER MOTHER, in what a newsreporter termed a Compound of several acres, partially barricaded by tall privacy fence.
She adopted a boy prior to the Russian boy and before rejecting the Russian boy, was already in the process of adopting a 3rd boy. Investigative reporters confirmed there are no records of either boy being registered at, or attending any public, private, or home school. The Sheriff said he was “trying” to get a response from Torry but she refused to talk.
-What was the procedure that qualified this woman and her finances and her environment to adopt a foreign child?
-What department/agency provided the approval and facilitated the US side of the adoptions of the two boys?
Clearly, citizens of two Nations have identified this woman as a child abuser, yet US State Department Officials rush to Russia to try to convince them to remove their block preventing Americans from adopting Russian orphans. US officials, GET BACK HOME. Instead of going to Russia, you should have gone to SHELBYVILLE, KENTUCKY, and pryed Miss Hansen out of her protective compound, and FIND OUT WHAT CONDITION THE FIRST ADOPTED BOY IS LIVING IN WITH THAT WOMAN.
WHY should Americans be allowed to adopt Foreign orphans when Foreigners are NOT allowed to adopt American orphans? Americans who adopt Foreign orphans are self-absorbed insensitive people who reject providing the orphans of their own countrymen with a home… denying them their right to a normal life, liberty of having a home, and pursuit of happiness based on a normal American childhood growing up in a home with a mother and a father.
Children living in American orphanages certainly have the right to look at those adults who have rejected them in favor of adopting foreign orphans, as people who show no responsibility to their own country and people. They are not to be trusted, values are warped.
End American adoption of Foreign orphans. If they really want to save the world and help a child, CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME.
It’s possible the child had Reactive Attachment Disorder, which is caused by inadequate nurturing of infants and young children — often standard practice in the orphanages of the former Eastern Bloc. Children in nurseries go for long periods with only cursory contact from attendants. Once the infants get used to the neglect and stop crying, real long-term emotional damage is being done. Such children can be violent and beyond difficult. Love and patience alone would not be enough. Supposing Torry Hansen sought therapy for such a child, it would have taken some effort to find one that could begin to contend with the behavioral difficulties. Certainly Torry could have handled the situation more capably. Note it was Torry’s lawyer who advised her to put the child on the plane. The story is heartbreaking, no doubt, but we should suspend judgment without the full picture. As for the child, we’ll see how he fares with the Russian diplomat’s family who took him in.
Alright, it’s totally inappropriate to expect American people to adopt from their own country first. You know who is being denied a normal life? All kinds of orphans are. Suggesting that people should “pick American first” is ridiculous. If anything, some foreign orphans are much worse off. Adopting them will do far more good than adopting an American child. Poverty in America is a lot better than poverty in a lot of other countries.
Also, adopting in America has all kinds of legalities that make it difficult. People change their mind, want children back, etc. It’s all kinds of unneeded stress. If America fixes the system, people will adopt more.
So yeah, adopting “at home first” is a totally racist attitude. The expression “charity begins at home” is intended to apply to families. Nationalism is ridiculous. It’s sad that someone who that clearly has a head on their shoulders can believe such tripe.
Artyom lived with his mom until he was six years old. The government in Siberia took him away from her because she was an alcoholic. It’s unfortunate, they should have gotten her treatment and maybe he could have stayed with her. He’s still probably traumatized by being taken from his real mom, goes to the orphanage, torn from there sent to America, sent back, etc. It would stress out an adult with all those changes. Torry could have been more sensitive to the child’s needs. I find it hard to believe a lawyer told her to put the child on the plane by himself with only the clothes on his back.
The local Shelbyville newspaper says she is in hiding, left her pets unattended and animal services had to take them away otherwise they would have starved to death. I think Torry has some serious mental issues of her own that need looked at. What she did just seems so insensitive towards a child and especially for being a nurse.
Thanks for the responses.
(So she spent money for lawyer(s) to help her scrape the kid off her steps but couldn’t/wouldn’t spend a cent to try to “help” him since she cried to the lawyer that the kid was damaged material?) Sounds like her MOM is either her keeper, her assistant, or her victim.
To Fischbyne – RAD? Sure, anything negative is possible for a child to experience who is not loved. You seem informed about Foreign orphans, what do you know about American orphans? You supposed that Torry Hansen should/could have sought therapy for her adopted son… I propose she is missing a lot of serious marbles herself, based on her actions toward her own life, her efforts to get kids, how she treated the Russian, and her wild scramble to the woods now to hide, and ABANDONED her “pets” and “animals” without providing the security of lifesaving food and water. DO YOU know or care what she did with the “bio” kid? No father has ever been mentioned. Probably test-tube. Responsible, caring, altruistic, this chick ain’t. Sure, she hid behind her lawyer and probably paid him to “tell” her what she wanted him to tell her… go after that lawyer and give him a lie detector
Heartbreaking STORY? Nah, it’s a confrontation directly aimed at AMERICANS to step up and protect children and to understand this event is not a “story” it is the LIFE of a CHILD that has been DAMAGED by a single woman who wants what she wants when she wants it. I hope she gets what we need to give her… and my opinion, our American Noses should be attending to our AMERICAN children who are Orphans, who are Kidnapped, who are Murdered, who are Molested, who are held prisoner in a creep’s backyard for years and gives birth unattended twice, and the goofy cops take their clipboards to knock on the pervert’s door and ask him how things are going and do not go into his environment to see for themselves. Oh well, job requirement done, paycheck earned. Yeah, you be sure and follow-up to see how the Russian kid is treated by the adoptive Russians… and please keep us posted. Don’t bother to stick your nose into the lives of American Orphans OR adopted kids to see how THEY are being treated. За тебя / За вас!

To Sane Person -Please explain your rationale for the statement that it is inappropriate to expect Americans to adopt American children “first” – your implication is that after the first Foreign orphan is adopted then the next orphans adopted could be American orphans? You say that all “kinds” of orphans are denied a normal life. Does that mean that Foreign orphans should be provided a “normal” life before American orphans? You infer that I am “suggesting” that Americans should “pick American first” and give your opinion that to do so is ridiculous. (I’m not suggesting, I’m INSISTING, as an American.) Please hop right on over to the nearest American orphanage, and tell the gathered kids that you, as an American, (?) think Foreign orphans should be adopted before they are, because Foreign orphans are “worse off” than they are, and “it will do far more GOOD to adopt a Foreign kid than adopting an American kid. Come back and tell us what THEY tell you, and if you made any of them reallllly happy. Yeah, adoption things aren’t easy here… rules and regulations, and as you say “unneeded stress”… hey, if you think raising and loving a child is stress-free, you don’t have any. For adoptions here, we work things out with the focus on the best interest of the child. That means being flexible as situations change and if a bio parent works into a position of responsiblility and wants their kid back, AND the kid wants to return to the parent here in the land of second changes, then they should be reunited. Adoptive parents should be happy that the kid is thrilled to get its bio back. If the adoptive parents can’t figure out a way to stay in the kids life and continue loving and overseeing as a “relative” – (if there is no problem with the bio or environment they provide) then they are showing how small their capacity is to love a child.
You say that adopting American kids “first” is totally racist. Could you please give all of us your definition of racist? Words have meanings. You also say nationalism is ridiculous. I’m grateful and proud to be an American, and love MY country BEFORE any other. Go tell a Marine, or any other military who has given limbs and health to protect this country, of course you can’t tell it to military that gave their lives, unless you pray… that nationalism is ridiculous.
Charity might be “sum” figure you just checked on your taxes, but what it means is
love… altruism, compassion, sacrifice, giving of yourself to help others in need. If you don’t love, first, those in your home, family, and see them reflected in your neighbors, your countrymen, and you only shout out on taxforms a “charity” figure, you do not love.
Obviously having a head on one’s shoulders as you say, does not mean there is a brain in it, or a heart that registers love, loyalty, and understanding.
Tripe? British?
Cheers to you, kid.

To Jacey Yes, Artyom had a horrible start in life. The adoptive single woman knew it. She had medical training and was well aware of help she could have received IF IF the child needed help… (doubtfully). She knew the emotional pain she was inflicting on him by airmailing him back to Russia… kicking the kid off with a backpack, note in his pocket, and telling him he was going on a vacation… this woman is a psycho… and HER mom, that escorted the kid to the east coast to dump him on a flight to Russia is complicit in child abuse and deserves the same punishment we BETTER GIVE to her daughter. Horror!!
You got it… the lawyer is either a moneybags that this monster filled or she is a liar, which is easy to prove… like how many lawyers do they have in Shelbyville, TN. Click a Wikipedia.org and checkout Shelbyville TN. A few “famous” people from there… anybody heard from them about this case? Some should know about the Hansens and their compound.
You also got it… this monster ran away (did she take the bio? is the bio kid safe? does she need to hide the bio because of bruises or to convince him not to tell stuff???) Time’s a-wastin’ Shelbyville Sheriff, and he has govt “policers” there to help him but nobody seems to be able to get this woman or tell us where the bio kid is… If anything happens to that bio kid, I BLAME THE SHERIFF, THE GOVT AGENTS AND THE WHOLE DANG TOWN… AND I AM NOT ALONE.
I am fed up with American parents adopting foreign kids! We taxpayers get stuck with the bad apples! I am glad the boy psycopath was sent back to Russia and we Americans did not get stuck with the mess!!!
Jock, the kid is not sick… Torry Hansen is… RUSSIA has examined the orphan and claims he shows abuse, and HE claims she abused him.. and she has gotten outta town WITH THE SHERIFF AND FED AND STATE LAW reps there in lil’ Shelbyville on the case, and she took the BIO BOY with her… HOW did she get outta town without anybody, including the News Reporters who camp around the Compound know about it? AND How did the Sheriff KNOW when to go in and feed and water the Pets Torry left behind?
DOES ANYBODY GIVE A D*MN ABOUT THE BIO BOY being secreted away by a woman another NATION is so convinced there is something horrible going on that they won’t let AMERICANS latch on to any of their orphans anymore? AND they have “suggested” Torry committed CHILD ABUSE. AND, nobody in lil’ Shelbyville will talk. Nobody has seen the boys, and they were never registered for or attended any public, private, or home school procedure. WHERE IS THE SCHOOL BOARD, WHERE ARE THE CHILD WELFARE AGENTS in lil’ Shelbyville? BEEN TO DOCTORS FOR CHECKUPS? DENTISTS?
Accidentally found an article about a guy in Maury County TN, not far from Shelbyville who was jailed for a while and a guy in Washington State called TN to help him… the guy in Washington State is a friend of the TN guy, and is in trouble for having a farm (owned by his mom) “Exitpoint Stallions” – -and the Seattle Times published about the Whatcom County Sheriff involvement and the suspicion that the guy was promoting tourism for beastiality… checkout Seattle Times. The Washington guy was connected somehow to the guy who died after sex with a horse. The Tennessee guy was somehow connected with having a farm in TN, which needs looking into.
What is the purpose of the single female Torry’s Compound with the tall privacy fence? What is the business there, and why, if she has a business there is it secret and why was she gathering little boys, one a so-called “bio” boy, no identification provided by Shelbyville papers, and was in process of adopting a 2nd Russian kid, which would give her 3 boys.
Something is very very wrong there.
Could she have been whisked out of town by some powerful people who are involved in her activities and don’t want her to talk?
Why did the State Dept. guy plan to rush to RUSSIA immediately to talk over the situation INSTEAD of going to TN and talking to Torry FIRST? ACCORDING TO THE STATE DEPT GUY IN A TV INTERVIEW, THEY NEVER TALKED TO TORRY AND DIDN’T PLAN TO.
WHERE IS THE LITTLE BIO BOY, AND WHO IS HIS DAD, AND DOES HIS DAD KNOW HE IS MISSING???
Jock, we ARE stuck with a mess. A mess that just might involve some pretty powerful political people, certainly involves our STATE DEPARTMENT, certainly involves our relationship with RUSSIA, and SURE SHOWS AMERICANS THAT WE DO NOT HAVE MUCH POWER AS CITIZENS ANYMORE. LIKE SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN. WHAT DO YOU THINK? WILL WE LET BIO BOY DISAPPEAR?
AMERICA… WHERE IS BIO BOY???
Outraged – You might be happy to learn that one can know something about a foreign country without losing one’s citizenship. If you resent even the mention a foreign country and shut out that information, you’re not really in a position to understand your own country in a meaningful way. And by the way, how is all this outrage that you cultivate helping your kids? Hmmm?
