Toledo father sues CPS over son gnawed by pitbull
Toledo father sues over son gnawed by pitbull
http://www.wtol.com/global/story.asp?s=7601491 A Toledo father is suing Lucas County's Child Protective Services (CPS) claiming it's their fault a pit bull chewed off his son's foot. The incident happened last year, but the father just filed his claim last month. Lisa Rantala has the story you'll see only on News 11. The lawsuit was filed December 20. The five-year old affected now lives with his father. The incident happened in his mother's home. The dad is asking for at least $25,000 saying he contacted CPS on suspicions of abuse only a week before this happened. Late November, 24-year old Martina Jennings fainted in court. A Lucas County judge had just sentenced her to four years in prison after her three-month old pit bull puppy chewed off her four-year old son's foot. Larry Dilabbio, Martina Jennings' attorney, told News 11, "If this weren't an inner city black family with a pit bull, I don't think the sensationalism would be involved." Dilabbio plans to appeal, but now the child's father blames another entity for the incident -- child protective services. In his lawsuit, he said he called CPS nearly two weeks earlier saying his son with spina bifida was being physically abused in the home of Martina Jennings because of the presence of scrapes, wounds and bruises. The father took his son to the hospital where doctors suspected domestic violence. They also completed a child abuse report, a physical assault body map and took photographs. CPS removed the boy from Jennings' home, but gave him back days before the pit bull attacked. Prosecutor Louis Kountouris told News 11, "They operated on the dog to determine what contents is in the stomach of the dog and they did find a toe." The pit bull was not caged and gnawed on the boy's foot for eight hours. Jennings said her son never woke up because he can't feel anything from the waist down. Even during questioning, Jennings said the dog must have dragged him down for a while because she found his head at the foot of the bed. Now that we know what happened to Jennings, it could be months before we know if a judge or jury finds child protective services also at fault CURRENTLY CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES VIOLATES MORE CIVIL RIGHTS ON A DAILY BASIS THEN ALL OTHER AGENCIES COMBINED INCLUDING THE NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY/CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY WIRETAPPING PROGRAMS.... 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... |
