Police in suburban Phoenix have arrested a married couple on suspicion of child abuse, accusing them of severely malnourishing two adopted daughters and forcing them to sleep in a backyard tent either nude or only in a diaper. According to Peoria police, the 13-year-old and 11-year-old girls also were subjected to strict punishment that included hour-long running sessions and memorization of Bible verses. Kimery Lynn Jorg, the girls’ 53-year-old adoptive mother, said that the abuse was intended to ‘train’ the girls and teach them to be ‘loving and nurturing’. Kimery and her husband Johann Glenn Jorg, 61, appeared Thursday night before a judge who set bond at $100,000 each.

Death records suggest 796 children, from newborns to eight-year-olds, were deposited in a grave near a Catholic-run home for unmarried mothers during the 35 years it operated from 1925 to 1961. Historian Catherine Corless, who made the discovery, says her study of death records for the St Mary’s home in Tuam in County Galway suggests that a former septic tank near the home was a mass grave. The septic tank, full to the brim with bones, was discovered in 1975 by locals when concrete slabs covering the tank broke up. Until now, locals believed the bones mainly stemmed from the Great Irish famine of the 1840s when hundreds of thousands perished.

Rebecca Cotten was 22-years-old and had been previously diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Her mother Jennifer Cotten, 40, now faces aggravated assault, abuse and neglect, and bail violation charges in connection with Rebecca’s death last Thursday.

CHARLESTON, IL — A Gibson County man who saved a newborn baby’s life 18 years ago surprised her at her high school graduation. Little Skyler James was saved by current AMR Rep. Charlie Heflin in 1995. Skyler recently graduated from Charleston High School in Charleston, Illinois. Following the ceremony, little did she know she was in for an emotional reunion. The story begins back in November, 1995 on a very cold morning in Champaign, Illinois. “My birth mother abandoned me,” said Skyler. “I was left in a cemetery. That night, there was a call put out to the dispatchers.”

James Cooper was out on bond for raping one young girl and he was going to be certain his next victim could not talk. He then kidnapped, sexually assaulted and brutally murdered Rebecca Sue “Becky” Gelhausen. In 40 years Cooper never shown any remorse or taken responsibility for his actions. James Cooper caught a huge break when his death sentence was overturned after the death penalty was ruled unconstitutional and that should be his only break. Cooper is serial child rapist, a child killer, and an animal who is right where he belongs, in a cage. Releasing James Cooper at any point who be a complete injustice to Becky Gelhausen and her family and would demean his cruelty to her. In addition releasing Cooper would pose a profound and imminent risk to the community, especially to young girls. Based on the horrific nature of James Cooper’s crimes, his complete lack of remorse, and his refusal to take any responsibility for his actions, we believe Cooper should receive the maximum continuance of ten years at all future parole hearing and should remain in prison until the day he dies.
