Question:
In the face of continual news of the horrendous increases in child abuse in recent years, the yahoos still deny it and claim it’s stable or dropping…often referring to "the rates" ignoring, of course, that they total population of children grows along with the total population of adults. Logic, oh logic, the victim of these selfish little social retards. The News-Enterprise Elizabethtown, Ky. Homes for abused children need aid By JOHN FRIEDLEIN Down a country road, past hay bales and rolling fields of mustard grass, stands a group of brick buildings that offer sanctuary from abuse and neglect. … State and federal money funds privately operated residential facilities like these as well as foster care programs. Government money also pays for prevention initiatives and kinship care, which places children in relatives’ homes. The problem is child-service groups must provide out-of-home care to more children while resources remain relatively flat. "There’s not enough state funding; there’s not enough federal funding," said Jill Seyfred, executive director of Prevent Child Abuse Kentucky. ….. "Dealing with child abuse is vitally important and should take priority," he said. It is a growing problem. During the fiscal year that ended last June, more than 3,700 children suffered abuse and neglect in Hardin and seven surrounding counties, Seyfred said. The statewide total topped 64,000, which is up almost 20,000 compared to eight years ago, according to the Child Welfare League of America. Seyfred said reports have increased during the past 10 years partly because of more abuse and greater awareness. Neglect shows up most on these reports. This includes children who were not properly fed, clothed or attended to by a doctor. It isn’t a matter of not having enough money to care for a child; it’s just not doing it. "Child abuse happens at all socio-economic levels and all races," Seyfred said. She gave another reason for the increase: "We’re seeing a growing number of children who have been exposed to meth labs." In fact, local police say they recently busted a meth lab that also was the site of a slumber party. ……..

North County Times Online Edition. Last modified Saturday, April 30, 2005 11:36 PM PDT Most sex offenders know their victims well, experts say By: WILLIAM FINN BENNETT – Staff Writer The kidnap and murder of 5-year-old Samantha Runnion riveted the nation nearly three years ago. After being abducted from her Orange County neighborhood, her nude body was found the next day in the hills west of Lake Elsinore. She had been sexually assaulted and then asphyxiated. Five months before that, in February 2002, a similar story played itself out in San Diego County when Danielle van Dam was kidnapped from her quiet, upscale neighborhood and murdered. In each case, a suspect was arrested. In each case, a jury found him guilty. Two more child predators were removed from society. Finally, parents could breathe a sigh of relief. But should they? While most parents spend a good amount of time cautioning their children about strangers, experts agree that in reality, it’s much more likely a child will be victimized by someone they know. It could be a youth pastor, a teacher, a trusted family friend or —- even more likely —- a relative. The reality Two experts on sex offenders estimate that 80 percent to 90 percent or more of all child molestations are committed by people who know the victim. And sex offenders who abduct children they don’t know make up only about 5 percent of those who have served time in state prison, said Doris Mahlum, a district administrator for the California Department of Corrections Parole Division. The California attorney general’s office estimates that there are about 85,000 registered sex offenders living in the state. According to the Megan’s Law database, www.meganslaw.ca.gov, there are 2,301 registered sex offenders living in Riverside County and 2,870 registered offenders in San Diego County. For years, Mahlum worked one-on-one with hundreds of convicted child molesters at Soledad State Prison. And that contact gave her a keen perception of how their minds work, she said in a recent interview.

One of the points I’ve made, but possibly not strongly enough, bobber, is that not only do molestors kill to remove witnesses, but they also do it for the sexual kicks. You are sick, bobber, very. Get your head examined. Stop trying to find ways to protect molesters and stop babbling your nonsense. You are making yourself sicker. 0;-> http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,151999,00.html Molesters Often Strike Again Saturday, April 16, 2005 By Catherine Donaldson-Evans Jessica Lunsford (search) and Jetseta Gage (search): two young girls recently kidnapped, molested and killed, allegedly by men who authorities said are convicted, registered sex offenders who had served time and were back in the community. Criminologists say it’s all too frequent that the perpetrator is a pathological sexual predator, as in the case of Jessica’s alleged killer in Florida, John Evander Couey (search), and Roger Paul Bentley (search), who Iowa police say murdered Jetseta. "It happens all the time," said Louis B. Schlesinger, a forensic psychologist specializing in criminal behavior and sex crimes at John J. College of Criminal Justice (search) in New York. "The dangerous ones have a high recidivism rate." According to data from the FBI’s National Crime Information Center (search), there are 381,967 entries for sex offenders in the NCIC Sex Offender Registration File – though not all states require sex offenders to be registered in the same way and some offenders are entered into the database for more than one state. The Jessica Lunsford case so outraged her Florida community that a state representative, Charles Dean, said he’s introducing a bill called the "Jessica Lunsford Act" that would, among other things, require convicted sex offenders to wear electronic tracking devices. "It’s a matter of us doing the job right. We need to find the loopholes, find the cracks," Dean told FOX News. The reason many convicted sex offenders go out and molest more children, say sociologists and criminologists, is similar to why alcoholics continue to drink. "Their sexual preference is for children. They have a compulsion to molest children," said Keith F. Durkin, a criminologist at Ohio Northern University (search) and an expert in the study of pedophilia. "Many, if not all, will molest children until the day they die. They’re dangerous and they’re going to reoffend." But there aren’t accurate numbers about the rate of recidivism among child molesters, since many of their repeat offenses go unreported. Not only are they almost certain to continue sexually abusing children, but some eventually kill their young victims – more often than not for the purpose of keeping them quiet. "Usually it’s to cover up the crime so the victim won’t say who he is," Schlesinger said. Nine-year-old Jessica Lunsford was snatched from her bedroom last month by a drug-addled Couey, police said. Couey was staying with relatives in a trailer just across from where Jessica lived with her father and grandparents in Citrus County (search), Fla. After holding her for a few days and sexually assaulting her, police said Couey, 46, killed the little girl and buried her body only a few hundred yards from her house. The coroner ruled that Jessica died by asphyxiation. Bentley, 37, is accused of abducting 10-year-old Jetseta from her home in Cedar Rapids (search), Iowa, last week and killing her. Her cause of death also was found to be asphyxiation, and authorities said there was evidence the mentally challenged girl had been molested. Bentley’s brother James Bentley, whom Jetseta’s mother dated five years ago, also allegedly sexually abused Jetseta and is in jail awaiting trial on those charges. It’s unlikely that there’s any sort of chain reaction element to such sexual crimes against children, according to experts. "The copycat value and the deterrent of being caught have minimal impact," said Jeffrey Ian Ross, a criminologist at the University of Baltimore (search). "It’s not a crime in which reason prevails." But a number of sex offenders do know they can’t be trusted around kids. Couey reportedly was so aware of his problem that he’d pleaded for help in the past, saying he was a danger to children because he couldn’t stop himself from sexually abusing them. That compulsion is what makes it next to impossible to "cure" chronic child molesters. "They’re basically untreatable," Schlesinger said. "They’re predatory, compulsive, repetitive offenders. These are very dangerous people, aroused by children. That’s part of their sexuality. It’s very, very difficult to change that." In spite of that reality, many still are only serving fractions of their sentences – which often are light to begin with. "The bottom line is that almost all these offenders will get out because they don’t have any laws barring them from getting out," Schlesinger said. "They’re allowed back in the community because the court system is following the law." That’s why parents and others in the community frequently are helpless to bring about any real change to prevent children from falling prey to molesters living in the area. "The public is getting increasingly upset when this happens," Ross said, "but they feel their hands are tied." People can take action by writing letters to local newspapers and Congress, he said. Ernie Allen, president of the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (search), said the existing legislation is a good start but needs to be beefed up – especially since authorities usually must rely on the offenders themselves to notify them of who and where they are. Megan’s Law (search) requires all 50 states to register sex offenders but leaves the details up to the individual states. The burden generally is on the offenders to register themselves and alert officials when they move. The sex offender registries are available online and provide basic information about and photographs of those in the database. "States should be more active in notification," Allen told FOX News. "We think the Web sites are great, but that’s not enough. Megan’s Law ought to be strengthened in every state." In the meantime, he said, parents need to take advantage of the resources already available to them and talk with their children so they know where they are and who they’re with. "Every parent needs to go to these Web sites and find out who the registered sex offenders are in their community," Allen told FOX. Ross believes cases such as Jessica’s and Jetseta’s could have an impact on legislation if there’s enough public reaction to elicit federal, rather than state, sponsorship of a tougher law. He predicted that at the very least, the conditions for releasing and paroling jailed sex offenders will tighten as a result of the murders of Jessica, Jetseta and other children in similar situations. "There may well be a strong enough backlash," Ross said. "These kinds of cases have enormous repercussions. They tug at the heartstrings of most Americans who have children." But others are more skeptical that any real progress will be made in controlling the problem of convicted sex offenders committing more crimes against children. "There will be a call for increased monitoring that will then fall by the wayside," said university criminologist Durkin, who believes convicted child molesters should be placed in special communities just for them. "But we have to take a close look at these repetitive sex offenders as a country. When we’re putting them in the community, we’re putting children at risk."

Kane’s Komments Kane, well we start of this week, the first week of May, with a little evidence of the insignificant rate of child sexual abuse…that some would like us to believe, 0;->. Not that it’s the least funny. Kane: This first story concerns an apparent suicide. Oh, bobber, if only they had just had your liberal attitude about sex with minors, who likely consented, he would have never been charged, and probably wouldn’t have jumped to his death. BooHoo. The Telegraph ALTON — The body of a man who jumped from the Clark Bridge and presumably died Wednesday remained lost Thursday in the frigid waters of the Mississippi River. Late Thursday afternoon, Alton Police Chief Chris Sullivan said authorities believe the man was Franklin Eugene Carver, 67, of the 2700 block of Greenwood Lane in Godfrey, based on "strong circumstantial evidence." …. However, Carver had a recent criminal record and is an Illinois Registered Sex Offender, where he is listed as a sexual predator. Last June, the Madison County State’s Attorney’s Office charged Carver with six sex abuse charges in the molestation of a girl over a two-year period. They charged Carver with predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, who was under the age of 13, between May and September 2002. Authorities also charged him with five counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse in the molestation of the same girl between June 5, 2003, and June 25, 2004, when the girl was over 13 but under 17. Carver was a friend of the victim’s family, Lt. John Lakin, chief of detectives for the Madison County Sheriff’s Department, said last year. In 1993, Carver was charged with stalking a woman; he pleaded guilty to attempted stalking and was sentenced to 18 months of probation and fined… Kane: He seems like a decent sort, doesn’t he bobber? Just a typical May December romance gone bad because of the nasty people that think it’s not okay and went and put him on the sex offender registry.

She sobbed, sometimes talking so quietly that she was barely audible. Although prosecutors had prepared the 14-year-old girl for court, they did not know how well she would hold up on the witness stand, a concern any time a child testifies. Children are considered key witnesses in several high-profile court cases, including the Michael Jackson molestation trial and the case of a Wisconsin man accused of organizing a child-sex ring linked to a former Riverside police officer. Testimony from children can be crucial to winning a case. Yet putting children on the stand can be risky, experts say. …. ’She Froze’ Last year in another case, a 6-year-old girl who had been sexually assaulted and kidnapped by her father’s roommate could not speak when Nelson called her as a witness. "She never testified. She froze. Judge Thierbach took a break. She froze again," Nelson said. "Children react in all different ways." In this instance, the defendant, Charles Mix, was convicted on the strength of photographs and other evidence. Nelson said jurors tend to empathize with children who have to testify.

""Sometimes we’re just looked at like the boogeymen who only remove kids, and that’s not the way it is," said Janet Arnold, a family service caseworker. Arnold is tasked with working directly with families in which abuse has occurred or reported. Often, identifying families who are high risk and steering them in the direction of a volume of services such as counseling, parenting classes, utility assistance and more is the key to preventing future abuse. "Sometimes just paying their utility (bill) gets them past the bad spot. … So we do a whole lot more than the community is aware of," McCall said.

Kane’s Komments Kane: The incidences of child sexual abuse are not, as I’ve said in this ng for years, being reported at anything like the actual number of incidences, or even an accurate victim count. A more chilling fact is that much of it is perpetrated by other than parents and is NOT counted in CPS data for submission to federal central data bases. And, get this, federal law enforcement reporting agencies to NOT count anyone under 12 in their reports. And over a certain age either. In other words they are NOT counting sexual assaults. So where is the data? Yah got me. Scattered here and there with no central place to visit for the facts. Why is this happening? There are many reasons why, including age of the child, that it’s not reported. Here are a few for you to consider: http://www.detnews.com/2005/specialreport/0504/24/A01-159826.htm and: More often than not, a child’s abuse allegations lead to family turmoil – especially when the information slips out accidentally, said Dawn Long, executive director of the Barren River Area Child Advocacy Center.

The newspaper, citing studies commissioned by U.S. Catholic bishops in 2002, said the abuse peaked with the ordination class of 1970, from which one in 10 priests was eventually accused of abuse. The report revealed that 10,667 children were allegedly victimized by 4,392 priests from 1950 to 2002, but said the figures depend on self-reporting by American bishops and were probably an undercount. ………story at: http://www.4law.co.il/comer27204.htm

Those were the days, she says, when it seemed she was sexually assaulted every afternoon. It happened on the bus ride home, she says. As many as eight bullies — all stronger boys — would get off at the same bus stop, choose a girl and hold her down. No one ever helped, she says, because they either didn’t care or were worried about themselves. So when she was caught, she had no choice but to take it, she says.
