5 Foster Children, 4 Adults Were Malnourished And Handcuffed Together,

CBS/AP) A woman has been charged with keeping four malnourished
teenagers and five adults, some mentally disabled, in her home and
handcuffed together, police said Thursday.

When Judith Leekin, 62, would leave her home she bound the teenagers,
ages 15 to 17, and adults together, police spokesman Deputy Robert Vega
said.

"They were not allowed to leave the home," Vega said.

Some of the children were found with marks on their wrists, as well as
scars and burns. Two of the teens had less than a fourth-grade
education, while another is illiterate, authorities said.

"We have no idea how these kids came into her custody. We have no idea
where these kids came from and no idea who they are," Vega said.

It also was not clear how long they had been with Leekin. She was
charged Wednesday with five counts of aggravated child abuse, one count
of tampering with a witness and one count of possession of a fictitious
driver's license/identification, authorities said. She was being held on
a total bond of $435,000.

None of the children ever attended school or visited a doctor while in
Leekin's care, Vega said.

The investigation began when police were called to a supermarket July 4
because Leekin had apparently left an 18-year-old girl there, Vega said.
The girl told police Leekin was her adoptive mother and that she had
been living with her since she was 5, Vega said.

Leekin told investigators the girl had left a year ago, denied the abuse
allegations and said she lived in the home with her son, a court record
said.

During a search of her home, authorities found handcuffs, zip-ties and a
surveillance system. A fictitious birth certificate also was found for
one teen.

"We found more than one of the people under her care suffering from
malnutrition," Port St. Lucie Police Captain Scott Bartal told the
Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers at a press conference Thursday. "We
were able to verify that they were restrained using handcuffs and
plastic ties."

Detectives were trying to determine the real identities of the nine
people found in the home. They were placed in the care of the Department
of Children & Families, Vega said.

"We are very saddened by the situation," Lorrene Egan, district 15
operations manager for DCF told The Palm Beach Post.

Leekin had several identities and Social Security numbers, and
authorities were trying to verify her identity, Vega said.

Authorities investigated Leekin in 1999, but the case was closed when
she left the area, police said.

Leekin's Miami attorney, Mario Garcia Jr., told The Post it was
premature to comment on the case.

"We are doing our own investigation to determine what is and is not
true," he said. "We don't have any comment because we don't have any
information at this point."

"We found more than one of the people under her care suffering from
malnutrition," Port St. Lucie Police Captain Scott Bartal told the Port
St. Lucie News at a press conference Thursday. "We were able to verify

A foster child is not necessarily a child who is placed in a home by
social service organizations.
Being called a foster child does not indicate any social service
involvement.
If you read the whole story you will see that no one knows where these
kids came from, the woman had multiple identities, and the children
had not attended school.
I would bet she kidnapped them when they were young and the kids just
THINK they were adopted.

Cops: Fla. Woman Kept 9 Handcuffed At Home
5 Foster Children, 4 Adults Were Malnourished And Handcuffed Together,
Police Say
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/...n3079793.shtml

CBS/AP) A woman has been charged with keeping four malnourished
teenagers and five adults, some mentally disabled, in her home and
handcuffed together, police said Thursday.

When Judith Leekin, 62, would leave her home she bound the teenagers,
ages 15 to 17, and adults together, police spokesman Deputy Robert Vega
said.

"They were not allowed to leave the home," Vega said.

Some of the children were found with marks on their wrists, as well as
scars and burns. Two of the teens had less than a fourth-grade
education, while another is illiterate, authorities said.

"We have no idea how these kids came into her custody. We have no idea
where these kids came from and no idea who they are," Vega said.

It also was not clear how long they had been with Leekin. She was
charged Wednesday with five counts of aggravated child abuse, one count
of tampering with a witness and one count of possession of a fictitious
driver's license/identification, authorities said. She was being held on
a total bond of $435,000.

None of the children ever attended school or visited a doctor while in
Leekin's care, Vega said.

The investigation began when police were called to a supermarket July 4
because Leekin had apparently left an 18-year-old girl there, Vega said.
The girl told police Leekin was her adoptive mother and that she had
been living with her since she was 5, Vega said.

Leekin told investigators the girl had left a year ago, denied the abuse
allegations and said she lived in the home with her son, a court record
said.

During a search of her home, authorities found handcuffs, zip-ties and a
surveillance system. A fictitious birth certificate also was found for
one teen.

"We found more than one of the people under her care suffering from
malnutrition," Port St. Lucie Police Captain Scott Bartal told the
Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers at a press conference Thursday. "We
were able to verify that they were restrained using handcuffs and
plastic ties."

Detectives were trying to determine the real identities of the nine
people found in the home. They were placed in the care of the Department
of Children & Families, Vega said.

"We are very saddened by the situation," Lorrene Egan, district 15
operations manager for DCF told The Palm Beach Post.

Leekin had several identities and Social Security numbers, and
authorities were trying to verify her identity, Vega said.

Authorities investigated Leekin in 1999, but the case was closed when
she left the area, police said.

Leekin's Miami attorney, Mario Garcia Jr., told The Post it was
premature to comment on the case.

"We are doing our own investigation to determine what is and is not
true," he said. "We don't have any comment because we don't have any
information at this point."

"We found more than one of the people under her care suffering from
malnutrition," Port St. Lucie Police Captain Scott Bartal told the Port
St. Lucie News at a press conference Thursday. "We were able to verify

Sure, it could be something more sinister, but at the rate that
children disappear without a trace, and end up with some nut that
wants to be a mother but can't conceive, I'd say that the best bet is
that she just stole them from somewhere and has been on the run all
these years trying to escape scrutiny that would eventually lead to
the story being revealed.

I wonder what the deal is with the adults that were found? It would
be interesting to find that they were under this woman's care since
they were children as well.

That is a concept bears much more discussion in
relation to the entire Child Protection INDUSTRY.

- Motivation for reports
- Motivation for Foster/Adopters
- Rationalization for removing kids to ""better"" homes

I'd say that the best bet is
that she just stole them from somewhere and has been on the run all
these years trying to escape scrutiny that would eventually lead to
the story being revealed.

Some mentally disabled, the article said.

But it didn't say if they were mentally disabled BY the
situation or before they came into it.
It also didn't say whether they had a disabled legal status before
now.

The other adults were probably mentally and
educationally stunted so badly they were like cult victims.

It would be interesting to find that they were under this
woman's care since they were children as well.

Crazy people in this world.

I don't want to, but I predict a horror show here.

This is NOT going to have a good outcome...IF they can find out what
the hell she was doing with all those live bodies.

"Foster" would be a perfect cover label for her to have been using
around the neighborhood.

And the subjects, the living people, would have very likely been kept
