A California couple, identified as Silvia Zhang and Guojun Xuan, has been arrested and charged with child abuse following an investigation into a surrogacy scheme involving at least 21 children. The arrests were announced on Tuesday by Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman, who described the actions of the couple as despicable.

Authorities removed 15 children, ranging in age from two months to 13 years, directly from the couple's home after abuse allegations surfaced. The case centers around a broader surrogacy scheme that encompasses at least 21 children in total, though specific details regarding the mechanics of the scheme and the condition of all the children remain part of the ongoing investigation.
