Boy Also Had Alcohol in System–Was Legally Drunk

CANDLER, N.C.– A 4-year-old Buncombe County boy was legally drunk when he was beaten to death by someone who also broke the child’s ribs and teeth and bit him, according to an autopsy. A man who lived with his mother has been charged in his death. Trenton Michael Scott had a blood alcohol content of 0.12 percent, well above the legal limit for driving of 0.08 percent, according to the autopsy by a forensic pathologist at the Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. Dr. Patrick Lantz told the Asheville Citizen-Times that he believes Trent ingested the alcohol.

WASHINGTON — Ben Barnhard finally had reason to be optimistic this summer: The 13-year-old shed more than 100 pounds at a rigorous weight-loss academy, a proud achievement for a boy who had endured classmates’ taunts about his obesity and who had sought solace in the quiet of his bedroom, with his pet black cat and the intricate origami designs he created. But one month before school was to start for the special-needs teen, his mother, psychiatrist Margaret Jensvold, shot him in the head, then killed herself. Officers found their bodies on Aug. 2 in the bedrooms of their home in Kensington, Md., an upper-middle class Washington suburb. They also found a note.

Child’s abductor has already spent 28 years of his life in prison.

Amy Bass Jackson, 35, is alleged to have had sex with one of her 8th grade students.

A former Bulloch County middle school teacher has been indicted on charges she had a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old student. The Statesboro Herald reports that 35-year-old Amy Bass Jackson is charged with eight separate counts, including statutory rape, aggravate child molestation, unlawful disposition of material to minors and child exploitation. Jackson has been in jail since she was arrested July 27.

County supervisors’ withholding of files on child deaths is unlawful and prevents public oversight.

In 2008, 10-year-old Seth Ireland of Fresno was beaten by his mother’s boyfriend and later died of his injuries. Assembly Democrat Henry T. Perea responded with a demand that the state audit his county’s child protective services agency plus three others in California, including the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services. There is little point now in arguing whether Perea was merely playing to his Fresno constituents or genuinely seeking constructive change. One way or the other, the audit is on, and if conducted properly it can give the public and county governments valuable information about the performance of four of the state’s child welfare agencies.
