Sex Offender's Attacker: 'I Would Do It Again'

Why not you have sidekick in first place when you're attend to college. You need to bring your sidekick all the times! If you don't know where is the area. If you don't know what is CPS phone number then you can use your cellphone to call Police. They will find you and the children. Because police department have satellite with GPS. Police will contact to CPS and come pick the children up. That's simple!

I didn't have the money for a Sidekick back then, and there were no program for the deaf to get Sidekicks or Blackberries for free like we do here in Texas (STAP). I was in Minnesota. I really wish I had my Sidekick back then, I would have called the cops right away! I got my Sidekick 1 year ago.

I take my Sidekick with me everywhere, even just to walk down to my mailbox.

I had noticed about many older children (like 10-12 years old) has been around store, swimming pool (like happened in Orlando during my vacation, PCB in last few years ago), play around street, playground and other activities stuff without any supervised, I'm not responsible for call police, CPS or dept of human resource, unless I would do if see any child who is younger, like 5 years old that walk on street alone or somewhere like that but rarely to see them for me.

When I went to swimming pool, the rule on gate said anyone who is under 13 years aren't allow go here without any supervised, parent or guardian, I'm sure that people who work at office in condo or housing community would caught them if happened, even it seems like poor enforcement at night in some area.

My apartment management office has a rule about children swimming in the pools on our property. If the managers catch anyone under 12 years old swimming without a parent present (we don't have lifeguards), the management office WILL call CPS! They are very strict about it.

Well, excuse me; Pepsi got it that CPS is "so bad" and you said they need improvements. I was relating to "us citizens" in your post. Meaning that no matter how lousy or slow services are, in CA, we are MANDATED REPORTERS, meaning the law says we (all citizens, especially those in the educational setting) must report these things. Your name will be kept out of the report. No matter how bad or slow these agencies are, I must, by law, still make the report and leave it to the courts , agencies, etc to makes these people accountable. Nothing more I can do. I have filed about a half dozen of these reports in my work life. You often mention how it is your right to give an opinion, that this is a discussion forum.....what am I? Chopped liver? :lol:

Us citizens, at least here in California are mandated reporters! I think it might be true in most other states.

If the police are called by a citizen, they will respond to take care of the immediate situation for which they were called and then a report is submitted to Child Protective Services.

Maybe in other states, budgets for a lot of departments are being cut. I know CA will be facing a lot of those very soon.

Exactly. And in the case that the police are called, and the police contact CPS, steps are taken immediately to insure the safety of the child, including emergency removal from the home while the investigation is completed.

I know that in dealing with child sexual assualts, I notify CPS when I am on my way to the hospital. They will meet me there. If there is evidence of sexual abuse, and it is suspected that said abuse is occurring in the home or that a parent has allowed it to occur, the child is removed immediately. The parent is escorted out of the emergency room by law enforcement, and the child is taken into protective state custody immediately.

And they should be. They are doing the responsible thing.

We also need to keep in mind that speed is often situational. If an educator informs CPS of suspected abuse, a caseworker will interview that child at the school the same day. Depending upon the circumstances, the child may be permitted to return home while an investigation is completed. They may also be allowed to return home on contigency...such as being permitted to return to the family home with the mother, but removing the father from the home through the use of a TPO until the investigation has been completed. If the child is not in any immediate physical danger, they may allow the child to return home without contigency. It depends on the situation.

And let's not forget that, due to budget cuts to all social service programs, a caseworker with CPS can have a caseload of up to 300 families. It is impossible to function at optimal expediancy with that level of overload.
 
When I was a kid, my stepmother had beaten me up the night before school, and then kicked me hard in my back and legs the morning before school. I showed up to school with bruises all over me. My teacher and the school psychologist called CPS. CPS came to my parents' house while I was in school. But, they saw that my parents had a nice big house with a pool and everything, and they decided that I was lying, and closed the case. They didn't even come to my school to look at me and to talk to me. However, I still ended up in foster care a few months later because my stepmother decided she didn't want me and made my dad give me up to the state. I was very glad to leave home, though. I was getting beaten up everyday at home. In foster care I didn't get beaten up so often. I grew up in foster care. I still have PTSD from living with my dad and my stepmother and from what she did to me. I still get very nervous everytime I see a parent yelling at his or her child. I get scared that the parent will hit the child, even though I know it is not likely for the parent to hit the child in public. I really wish the CPS had taken me seriously and took me out of the home right away. :(

Child abuse can happen in ANY home, in ANY family, doesn't matter if the family is poor or rich or whatever.

I know this is off topic, but I wanted to say all this.

Oh, that bites, Lucia! My condolences.....
 
Lucia - very sorry to hear about your traumatic experience but you have to understand that the social service program in here is pretty bad and broken. I don't believe children should be quickly brought into foster program just because there were alleged abuse or some spankings. They can be abused by foster parents as well. Because of mismanagement and poor funding, this program is best reserved for children who are in absolutely dire needs.
 
Sorry to hear what had happened to you, Lucia. I wish they would had done better, some of those times kids had die in a result of CPS arriving too late to save a child.
 
Lucia,

I am really sorry to read of your experiences. My heart goes out to you. No child should have to live like that. Wish we can eliminate all child abuse. *sighs*
 
I am wonder. Anyone know who is Sex Offender man from Fargo, ND. I can't remember what is his full name. He was rape to boy in Minnesota near to lake. He attacked to Idaho family's home and tied children's mom, stepdad and older brother. He abducted Dylan and Shasta from home. He stole their parent's red jeep drove to Montana. He raped to Dylan and killed him. It was happened in July 2005. I am wonder is the suspect is still in the prison in rest of life or put him in death?? I am trying to look for current news. I can't find it. Do you know what I mean? He is so SICKO!!!!
 
Lucia, I am sorry to hear. I am glad that you stayed away from bitch stepmother. I read your post in other thread about your mom died. I am so sorry. Are you okay?

I have a question for you. Is that illegal for spank to the children if they are being bad? I watched on tv Supernanny Jo Frost. She said spank is not help for children to learn a lesson. The best is sit on naughty stool for an ages minutes.

My cousin's deaf son who have CI. She still do spank on his butt when he was being bad boy. I don't like to see everyone spank on children's butt. Do you think the states need to be legal for parents to spank children or illegal??
