Boy, 11, reveals life of pain, starvation
Boy, 11, reveals life of pain, starvation
http://www.timesunion.com/AspStories...te= 5/24/2008 "I can't take it anymore" adopted child tells cops, saying mom abused him By BOB GARDINIER, Staff writer Click byline for more stories by writer. First published: Saturday, May 24, 2008 TROY -- An 11-year-old boy allegedly abused by his adoptive mother told police he was neglected for as long as he could remember, regularly punched and slapped, and forced to wear a diaper and sleep on the floor. The adopted son of Sharmon S. "Sherry" Evans apparently had enough on May 10 and went to a friend's house to tell him he was running away. "I went there because I'm afraid of my adoptive mother and I wanted to say goodbye to my friend because I was running away," the unidentified boy told police in a statement on file with the City Court clerk's office. "I made up my mind to run away because I can't take it anymore." The friend's parents immediately took him to police headquarters. Evans, of 714 Fourth Ave., was charged with one misdemeanor count of endangering the welfare of a child. The child was removed from her care and placed in a foster home where county officials said he is now doing well and gaining weight. In a graphically explicit statement, the boy said his mother regularly locked him in his room and put a plastic gate with bells on it, a crowbar and a 14-pound weight against the door so she could hear him open the door. "She does not let me use the bathroom and she makes me wear a diaper whenever I'm home," the boy told police. He said he recently had diarrhea in his bed and Evans made him throw his mattress and blankets into a side yard and sleep on the floor underneath the empty bed frame. "But it hurt because when I rolled over I would hit my head and shoulder," he said. "A few times I had to poop at night and didn't want to fill my diaper. I couldn't use the bathroom, so I would poop on the floor and put the rug over it," the boy said. "A few times my mother found it and made me eat the poop. I had to throw up it was so bad." The boy said a couple of days before he decided to run away, he came home from school a little late. "I walked in the door and tried to put my book bag down, my mother pushed me into the door. My left arm hurt and now I have bruises on my left arm. I'm used to having bruises though because she hits me almost every day. Sometimes she pushes my head against the wall and slaps me and punches me." The boy said he was always hungry and sometimes stole to eat. He said that during his spring break, "She didn't feed me at all, and I only got two cups of water a day." He also told police that his friend, who for a time also was in Evans' care, sneaked him food. "He would try to sneak me food through the crack in the door. He would save the Pringles and candy from the Lunchables my mother gave him, and he would bring those to my room so I had something to eat," the boy said. Rensselaer County Social Services Department Commissioner John Beaudoin said because the boy was adopted, his agency was not regularly monitoring his status. The office monitors foster children's homes. At one time, Evans had as many as six foster children in the home besides the adopted boy, authorities have said. She dropped out of the foster care program after social services inspectors visited the house in December, Beaudoin said. His office received a complaint, but he said they found nothing amiss. Evans made a brief appearance Friday morning in City Court before Judge Christopher Maier with her court-appointed attorney Joseph Ahearn. She has been free without bail. A representative for Rensselaer County District Attorney Richard McNally said the office was ready for trial in the case. Maier adjourned the case for two weeks after Ahearn asked prosecutors to hand over evidence. Evans declined to speak to a reporter after her court date.

An Inconvenient Truth about Child Protective Services, Foster care, and the Child Protection "INDUSTRY" Child Protective Services Does not protect children... It is sickening how many children are subject to abuse, neglect and even killed at the hands of CPS. every parent should read the free handbook from connecticut dcf watch... http://www.connecticutdcfwatch.com Number of Cases per 100,000 children in the US These numbers come from The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect in Washington. (NCCAN) Recent numbers have increased significantly for CPS Perpetrators of Maltreatment Physical Abuse CPS/Foster care 160, biological Parents 59 Sexual Abuse CPS/Foster care 112, biological Parents 13 Neglect CPS/Foster care 410, biological Parents 241 Medical Neglect CPS/Foster care 14 biological Parents 12 Fatalities CPS/Foster care 6.4, biological Parents 1.5 Imagine that, 6.4 children die at the hands of the very agencies that are supposed to protect them and only 1.5 at the hands of parents per 100,000 children. CPS perpetrates more abuse, neglect, and sexual abuse and kills more children then parents in the United States. If the citizens of this country hold CPS to the same standards that they hold parents too. No judge should ever put another child in the hands of ANY government agency because CPS nationwide is guilty of more harm and death than any human being combined. CPS nationwide is guilty of more human rights violations and deaths of children then the homes from which they were removed. When are the judges going to wake up and see that they are sending children to their death and a life of abuse when children are removed from safe homes based on the mere opinion of a bunch of social workers.

Some experts estimate that about 30% of the children in care have marked or severe emotional problems. Various studies have indicated that children and young people in foster care tend to have limited education and job skills, perform poorly in school compared to children who are not in foster care, lag behind in their education by at least one year, and have lower educational attainment than the general population. *Casey Family Programs National Center for Resource Family Support 80 percent of prison inmates have been through the foster care system. The highest ranking federal official in charge of foster care, Wade Horn of the Department of Health and Human Services, is a former child psychologist who says the foster care system is a giant mess and should just be blown up. http://abcnews.go.com/print?id=2017991 Four rigorous studies have found that at least 30 percent of America’s foster children could be home right now if their parents had decent housing. This study found thousands of children already in foster care who would have done better had child protection agencies not taken them away in the first place.
