California couple charged with abusing 14 surrogate-born children inside $10M Los Angeles mansion

Guojun Xuan, 66, and Silvia Zhang, 39, have been charged with multiple felonies related to the alleged abuse of at least 14 surrogate-born children inside their Arcadia, California mansion. The investigation began in May 2025 after a two-month-old infant was hospitalized with a traumatic brain injury. Authorities allege the couple operated a surrogacy business, Future Spring Surrogacy, and used security cameras to monitor nannies who were instructed to physically discipline the children in 'learning centers.' The couple has pleaded not guilty, with their defense attorney claiming they are being targeted for having a large family. A nanny, Chunmei Li, is also charged and is currently a fugitive.
