Stark image of child  abuse

Children severely injured or sexually molested, the helpless victims of child abuse and neglect – the cases still haunt Alex Gardner, the Lane County district attorney. He calls child abuse the biggest local crime problem in Lane County (Eugene, OR).

“I’d say it’s right at the top of our list of concerns,” he said. “Children are our most precious resource and harm done to them early on is harm that tends to be reflected through their lives.”

Posted by Sandra On May - 26 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

A woman accused of severely bruising a 1-year-old boy last year was arrested this week on child abuse charges.

Jessica Orlando, 23, told authorities she was washing her car July 4 at her boyfriend’s house in Holiday when the baby soiled his diaper, so she used a garden hose to clean off the boy — which is what caused his injuries, according to a Pasco County Sheriff’s Office report.

Child abuse: Survivor  shares his story of healing

EUGENE, Ore. — Growing up in Ohio, Lewis Luchs and his three younger siblings slept on a single mattress on the floor. “We were so cold, and our mother wasn’t there, that we built a fire of newspapers on the floor,” he said. “During the night, I could feel the paws of rats running across the top of the blankets, and once in a while, whiskers on my face.”

Just as bleak were two years he spent in an Ohio orphanage after being abandoned by his biological parents.

Jesse James claims that sex addiction and anger management were both addressed during his recent stay at Arizona’s Sierra Tucson Treatment Center, however they are not the main reasons why he admitted himself.

“Those were two of the things I was there for, but the main thing I was there for was being a victim of childhood abuse,” said James during a Tuesday appearance on ABC’s Nightline.  “I was always scared. My whole childhood, I never had a chance to be a kid. I just remember the clenched teeth, strained-neck look on his face.”

Philipe & Sherrine  Mathieu Charged With 863 Counts Of Child Neglect

Miami, FL – Allow me to introduce Philipe and Sherrine Mathieu. This lovely couple has racked up an astounding 800+ counts of child neglect in the past 8 years. How, you ask? According to authorities, by forcing their daughter to live in a car and eat, bathe, shit and piss outside.

And no, they aren’t homeless – the couple owns a 4 bedroom, 2 bath duplex, complete with electricity and running water. For some unknown and absurd reason, Sherrine forbid her family to enter either side of the home. Ever. The family of three allegedly lived in a Pontiac Grand Am parked in the driveway. But wait! It gets even more bizarre.

Amman – A Jordanian carpenter was charged Monday with raping his teenage daughter and then killing her during a botched Caesarean section to terminate a child he had fathered with her, the Jordan Times reported.

“The suspect brought a carpet cutter, cut his daughter’s stomach with it, opened her womb and took the female foetus and threw it in the garbage,” police sources told the paper.

He then sewed up his daughter’s stomach with thread, but could not stop her bleeding. She eventually died.

Pic shows court artist drawing, from Old Bailey case. Two boys  accused of raping an eight year-old girl refused to give evidence at  their Old Bailey trial today (WED).

Two boys aged 10 and 11 were found guilty today of the attempted rape of an eight-year-old girl, but a jury at the Old Bailey found the pair not guilty on charges of rape.

The jury found the children guilty by a majority of 10 to two on two charges each, making them among the youngest defendants ever to be convicted of the crime of rape by a British court. As the verdicts were read out the younger boy sought eye-contact with his mother but both mothers stared straight ahead.

Nurses’ role in child abuse reporting

Posted by Sandra On May - 24 - 2010 1 COMMENT

Children need a voice that will be heard. Listen, observe and be that voice. The easiest way to tell if a child has been harmed — emotionally, sexually, physically, medically or educationally — is to listen. If children tell you they’re being hurt or inappropriately touched or if a parent gives you information that leads you to be concerned, take action.

Don’t attempt to solicit additional detailed information by asking the child questions. Your responsibility is to allow the child’s words to be heard by professionals trained to investigate abuse and neglect.

Boy Scouts “lagged” in protecting children

Posted by Sandra On May - 24 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

BSAfile.JPG

As part of closing statements in a recent Multnomah County civil trial, attorneys showed jurors a confidential form that banned a volunteer from Scouting. The handwriting says Timur Dykes was kicked out for “sexual molesting of young boys.”

The Boy Scouts‘ effort to protect their young members from sexual abuse had large gaps from the start and has significantly fallen behind modern practices. Videos intended to alert youth about potential abuse don’t warn that Scout leaders could be molesters, despite an 80-year record of just such scenarios.

Few of the 1.2 million adults volunteering in Scouts have been required to take training that the Boy Scouts offer.

Richland County is set to be part of the second stage of a pilot program as Ohio implements a family-oriented approach to investigating child abuse and neglect allegations.

The approach, called alternative response, is focused on finding the underlying causes of child abuse or neglect. The state received positive results from 10 pilot counties, including Licking County. The traditional response is more focused on investigating specific allegations, said Sue Wasiniak, intake supervisor for Licking County Children Services.
