GULFPORT, MS — They made an arrest in the beating death of 15-year-old Taylor Adams yesterday. Yesterday afternoon police named a neighbor, 27-year-old Earnest Joseph III, as a suspect and that he was on the run. A short time later, with the help of the U.S. Marshals Service,  Joseph was apprehended Wednesday night in Gulfport, Mississippi after a brief chase. Adams was found beaten to death in her bedroom when her mother returned home from work early Sunday morning. Investigators had determined that she had been killed between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m. but didn’t initially report how they came up with that timeline. I read somewhere else they were basing that off of her last activity on Facebook.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — A 101-year-old pedophile who was New York’s oldest state prison inmate has died. Corrections officials say Theodore Sypnier of Buffalo died of natural causes at 12:23 a.m. Tuesday. The Buffalo News reports Sypnier was taken to the Coxsackie Correctional Facility’s regional medical unit when his health began to fail last week. He’d been housed at Groveland Correctional Facility. Authorities say Sypnier molested children as young as 4 years old for decades in Buffalo and later in the Town of Tonawanda.

THE RATE OF CHILD ABUSE IN AUSTRALIA….

1. Prevalence
Child abuse remains prevalent, even today. The question remains: how prevalent? The social stigma around child abuse means that it gets swept under the carpet time and again. We know how many cases of abuse are being reported and how many cases are substantiated each year. However, it is impossible to know how many children are being abused every day but are too afraid to say anything. In response to the growing awareness around child abuse, several laws have been set in place to protect children from further abuse. In every state in Australia mandatory reporting laws have been introduced (Higgins, Bromfield, & Richardson, 2007). These laws mandate that professionals who work with children are legally obliged to make a report about any child they suspect is in danger of abuse. These laws differ state-by-state, but are in place Australia-wide in some form. In spite of mandatory reporting laws, statistics suggest that child abuse remains prevalent.

Updated: Step mother charged in death of New Haven 2-year old girl

Accused killer Renee King on Tuesday begged a magistrate to be allowed to attend the funeral service scheduled today for the 2-year-old stepdaughter she is accused of sexually assaulting and beating to death. “I swear to God on my life I didn’t do this,” a sobbing King said. “I just want to be able to see my husband and my kids and be with them through this hard time (today) for my stepdaughter’s burial. I’m accused of doing something I never would have done.”

Instead, 42nd District Court Magistrate Joseph Plawecki ordered the 28-year-old woman to be held in the Macomb County Jail without bond at Tuesday’s arraignment proceedings. King is accused in the blunt force trauma homicide of her stepdaughter, Lily Furneaux-Wolfenbarger, whose body was found unresponsive Saturday afternoon in the New Haven home King shares with her husband, Lily’s father.
