California police arrest and face multiple criminal charges in a case of suspected child abuse and illegal surrogacy in the city of Azusa.

In May 2025, the infant Walter was injured and sent to the hospital, triggering a police raid, and in October 2025, the prosecution formally filed a criminal complaint and a court bail hearing.

A two-month-old baby boy named Walter was taken to the hospital in May 2025 with head injuries in the Arcadia suburbs of California. According to verified evidence, confirmed by the police report and the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office case records. The suspects are 66-year-old Xun Guo Jun and 39-year-old Zhang Si Wei, who lived with 14 children born through surrogacy, aged between six months and three years. In addition, records indicate that confirmed by Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón at a press conference and in court testimony in October. The couple was charged with conspiracy to abuse a child, with bail set at $20 million ($15 million) for each of them. Furthermore, technical reviews confirmed that confirmed by court prosecution and bail hearing records.

In addition, records indicate that defense attorney Mitchell Crumpler, representing Xun Guo Jun and Zhang Si Wei, stated that these allegations are a 'misdescription of the facts', backed by correctly classified as the defendant's attorney's defense response, verified by cross-checking with CBS News and other media. Furthermore, technical reviews confirmed that the 'Mark Surrogacy' business operated by Xun Guo Jun and Zhang Si Wei has never matched surrogate mothers with any other intended parents, backed by statement by Deputy District Attorney Mackenzie Cameron Tumuli in court testimony on October 16.

There are gray areas in the commercial surrogacy regulation in California and some areas, lack of strict limits on the number of surrogacy applications and mandatory disclosure requirements, providing opportunities for lawbreakers. Key preceding milestones include: 2025年5月：加州亚凯迪亚郊区豪宅因两月大男婴沃尔特头部受伤送医，警方介入并展开虐童调查。; 2025年8月：多名代孕母亲（如斯泰西·雷琳·金等）另行起诉宣国军和张思薇。; 2025年10月：洛杉矶县地方检察官霍克曼宣布正式以串谋虐待儿童罪起诉涉案男女，保释金定为2000万美元。.

The children who were abused suffered from severe and potentially long-term physical and psychological damage, while the suspects enjoyed legal defense rights and bail options, highlighting the severe asymmetry of vulnerable groups. Among directly affected sectors are: Surrogate children (victims): Suffering from daily beatings and abuse, living in a poor and closely monitored closed environment, and have been taken away by the authorities for protection; Surrogate mothers' group: Unaware or misled about the true nature of the surrogacy agency's operation, facing an ethical dilemma and filing multiple lawsuits; California surrogacy and reproductive medical regulatory agencies: Exposed the gray areas and information disclosure loopholes in the commercial surrogacy regulatory system, facing public scrutiny.

Public debate has focused prominently on the positions of Los Angeles County District Attorney, police spokesperson, reproductive medicine expert, defense lawyer for the accused, while observers emphasize the need to consider the perspective of The children involved (due to their age, unable to speak), and the direct lengthy statements of multiple surrogate mothers are relatively brief. The report focuses on the fact of the illegal child abuse crime and the exposure of the loopholes in the US surrogacy regulation, firmly standing on the side of child protection and public safety.
