Alameda County settles abuse lawsuit by Yusuf Bey foster daughtersCounty has agreed to pay $188,000 to settle a lawsuit
Alameda County settles abuse lawsuit by Yusuf Bey foster daughters
Henry K. Lee, Chronicle Staff Writer Thursday, September 13, 2007 http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl.../BA53S5VQ5.DTL 09-13) 18:53 PDT OAKLAND - Alameda County has agreed to pay $188,000 to settle a lawsuit filed by three women who said the late leader of Your Black Muslim Bakery, Yusuf Bey, sexually assaulted them and abused them as minors after the county placed them in his home. The three women, identified in the lawsuit only as Jane Doe 1, 2 and 3, were foster children or wards of the court from 1978 to 1994 and were placed in Bey's home by county social service workers. Bey routinely raped them, defecated on them, forced them to drink his urine and semen and threatened them with harm if they ever told anyone, according to the suit the women filed in Alameda County Superior Court in July 2003 that sought millions in damages. Two of the women, who are sisters, were impregnated by Bey, the suit said. "Each plaintiff has suffered and is suffering from mental and emotional distress based on post-traumatic (stress) disorder," the women's attorney, David Washington, wrote in court papers. "Plaintiffs will need psychological treatment indefinitely." The county agreed in February to settle the case and avert a trial, Alameda County Counsel Richard Winnie said Thursday. "It was going to be extremely difficult to litigate that case," Winnie said. "It was very old, the facts were very murky and, of course, we were going to have to rely on people who were subjected to intimidation and whose testimony could be influenced by intimidation." Bey, 67, died of colon cancer in September 2003 while awaiting criminal charges of raping a minor. His son Yusuf Bey IV, 21, is now the head of the bakery and is in jail - along with his half-brother and another bakery associate - on charges that they kidnapped a woman in May and threatened to torture her with a hot curling iron if she didn't reveal where an acquaintance kept his money. Another bakery associate, Devaughndre Broussard, 19, is accused of using a shotgun to kill Oakland Post Editor Chauncey Bailey, 57, on Aug. 2. Bailey was investigating the black-empowerment organization's financial difficulties, and police say Broussard told them that he had shot Bailey to death on a downtown street to silence him. Broussard's attorney, however, has accused Bey IV of having coerced his client into falsely confessing to Bailey's slaying. E-mail Henry K. Lee at . CURRENTLY CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES VIOLATES MORE CIVIL RIGHTS ON A DAILY BASIS THEN ALL OTHER AGENCIES COMBINED INCLUDING THE NSA / CIA WIRETAPPING PROGRAM.... CPS Does not protect children... It is sickening how many children are subject to abuse, neglect and even killed at the hands of Child Protective Services. every parent should read this .pdf from connecticut dcf watch... http://www.connecticutdcfwatch.com/8x11.pdf 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 160, Parents 59 Sexual Abuse CPS 112, Parents 13 Neglect CPS 410, Parents 241 Medical Neglect CPS 14 Parents 12 Fatalities CPS 6.4, 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. CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES, HAPPILY DESTROYING THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT FAMILIES YEARLY NATIONWIDE AND COMING TO YOU'RE HOME SOON... BE SURE TO FIND OUT WHERE YOUR CANDIDATES STANDS ON THE ISSUE OF REFORMING OR ABOLISHING CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES ("MAKE YOUR CANDIDATES TAKE A STAND ON THIS ISSUE.") THEN REMEMBER TO VOTE ACCORDINGLY IF THEY ARE "FAMILY UNFRIENDLY" IN THE NEXT ELECTION... |
