Newton County, MO -- Foster parents face charges
Foster parents face charges By Wes Franklin / Daily News Staff Writer Published: Tuesday, August 28, 2007 5:01 PM CDT http://www.neoshodailynews.com/artic...s/01foster.txt Ten children are in protective custody following the drug investigation of a pair of Granby foster parents and a Division of Family Services (DFS) case worker. Wayne and Christel O'Neal, ages 32 and 29 respectively, appeared in Newton County court this morning in response to a criminal summons issued Monday on two second degree charges of Endangering the Welfare of a Child. The O'Neal's are foster parents. Meanwhile, the couple's DFS contact, Nova Propes, 44, is faced with the same two counts of Endangering the Welfare of a Child in the second degree. Propes worked in the Neosho office. Her residence is listed as 20824 Norway Rd., Neosho. According to Newton County Sheriff Ken Copeland, a search warrant was carried out Aug. 17 at the O'Neal's Granby home at 225 E. Newton St. after foster children told authorities they had witnessed the couple smoking marijuana on several occasions with Propes inside the master bedroom of their house. A small amount of marijuana was found in the home, as well as drug paraphernalia, though Copeland didn't know specifically what was taken. Law enforcement officers also found pornography videos. None of it was child porn, Copeland said. No arrests were made at that time. Ten children, four boys and six girls, ranging in age from two to 17, were taken into protective custody. Two of the kids were the O'Neal's biological children. The rest were foster children. Today, Copeland said the O'Neal's alleged in court that Propes had tipped them off that the law was coming and had flushed some of their drug stash down the toilet before officers arrived. Propes had been called in by her superiors about the allegations and was placed on administrative leave. After the meeting, she reportedly telephoned the O'Neals. Copeland didn't know how long the couple had known Propes. Both Wayne and Christel O'Neal are scheduled to be arraigned on Sept. 4 in Judge Gregory Stremel's Division II courtroom. Propes' arraignment is slated for Sept. 17 in the same courtroom. “It's a sad situation when we have kids taken from abused homes and put into a place where they continue to be in jeopardy,” Copeland said. “It's crazy.” 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... |
