A Kentucky Lantern story by Deborah Yetter updates the odyssey of Jonah Bevin, adoptive 18-year-old son of former Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin and (now estranged) wife Glenna. Jonah describes abusive behavior at a Jamaican youth facility where he was sent several years ago. Jonah tells Yetter that his place in the blended family "just didn't work." By age 8, "I told them I didn't want to be in that house."The Bevins have not responded to Kentucky Lantern's requests for comment. Jonah says Matt Bevin offered him passage to his native Ethiopia after hearing reports that Jonah's birth mother is still there.Jonah currently lives with friends in Utah and reports that he has very few personal effects beyond his passport and a toothbrush. Meanwhile, activists are working to improve Jonah's situation in addition to bringing the operators of the Jamaica facility in for questioning.Our 840WHAS conversation with reporter Yetter has much more.
