Less than a week before a 22-month-old child was found dead in her urine-soaked bed, a Child Protection Services supervisor closed the case – despite it being 11 months since the home had been visited. Tamryn Klapheke suffered from dehydration and malnutrition and weighed only 17.5 pounds when she died. She also had chemical burns on her face and body, indicating she was exposed to human waste for a long period of time. Her mother, Tiffany Nicole Klapheke, 21, was charged with three felony counts of injury to a child in connection with her daughter’s death and the severe neglect of her two other daughters, aged six months and three years.

Amanda Todd, 15, was found dead on October 10 after killing herself to escape cyber bullies
Anonymous has named a man it claims posted topless pictures of a 15-year-old girl online and harassed her so relentlessly that she killed herself. Amanda Todd, from Vancouver, Canada, was found hanged in her home on October 10, just weeks after she uploaded a video to YouTube detailing her horrific treatment at the hands of cyber bullies. Now in a vigilante move, Anonymous, the world’s largest hacking group, has named the man allegedly responsible for taking the pictures of Todd and plastering them across Facebook. Jezebel claims that he is a 32-year-old former Facebook employee from British Columbia, but MailOnline has chosen not to identify him for legal reasons. As Todd’s supporters set up Facebook pages warning the man to ‘sleep with one eye open’, the move by Anonymous sparks concerns over its abilities to create a ‘trial by internet’ – bypassing the justice system and casting guilt.

5,200 Names involving the Pentagon Paid for Child Pornography
This was uncovered earlier last year, but literally almost no other news report came out about it besides this one from Anderson Cooper. I am attempting to bring light back to this scandal. My question is, what is being done about this?
An investigation dating back to 2006 over 6 years ago has failed to prosecute both contractors and military employees of the Pentagon: 264 employees including Secretary of Defense personnel and contractors of the Pentagon are kiddy porn customers. These people are buying kiddy porn, child sex videos, pictures and content related to the sexual exploitation of children.
None of these individuals have been charged, jailed or prosecuted under the law and the Department of Justice is a failure in investigating the US government. Another failure of Eric Holder the Secretary of the Attorney General in his continued quest to go after Wiki-leaks which takes up most of his time. At the very least the FBI, CIA, DOJ have enough staff to police their own people and it is not due to lack of resources or money. This is hard to believe but Watch the video as Anderson Cooper reports posted on YouTube January 6, 2011 a year ago.
Remember, there have been no investigations, no jail time, no one fired.

Child abuse investigations usually begin with a phone call. More than 400 times each day, someone in Tennessee — a family member, concerned neighbor, teacher, police officer, or doctor — dials a hotline to warn of a child in danger. More often than not, the call ends up on hold. During the last two years, the department hasn’t answered its phones as quickly as it used to, so more callers than ever have been hanging up — as many 25 percent in the early months of 2012, department data show. Nobody can say what happens to those thousands of callers and their concerns, or whether chances to help children are being missed. READ MORE HERE
