TACOMA, Wash. - A man charged with kidnapping, raping and killinga 12-year-old girl was referred to CPS By law enforcement officers in 2004,CPS Did Nothing!
Adhahn referred to Child Protective Services in 2004
11:19 AM PDT on Thursday, August 2, 2007 Associated Press http://www.king5.com/localnews/stori....d6cb2456.html Terapon Adhahn leaves a Pierce County courtoom on Monday, July 23, 2007 after pleading not guilty to the kidnap, rape and murder of Zina Linnik. TACOMA, Wash. - A man charged with kidnapping, raping and killing a 12-year-old girl was referred to law enforcement officers in 2004 through an anonymous tip, but the complaint could not be verified, The Seattle Times reported Thursday. According to heavily redacted documents, released to the newspaper by Child Protective Services under a public disclosure request, the state agency was told in January 2004 that Terapon Dang Adhahn was having sex with a 15-year-old girl who was living with him. The same caller, claiming to have firsthand knowledge of the relationship, then contacted the agency less than a week later with an address for Adhahn. A screener for the agency referred both the initial report and the address to the Pierce County sheriff's office, said Dawn M. Cooper, a CPS supervisor. Sheriff's Detective Ed Troyer said a detective went to the address but found Adhahn was no longer living there and closed the case without filing a report because it was a third-party complaint that could not be verified. Adhahn, 42, has been charged with aggravated first-degree murder, kidnapping and rape of Zinaida "Zina" Linnik, 12, on July 4. He has been charged with rape and other offenses involving two other girls and is under investigation in the abduction and slaying of Adre'Anna Jackson, 10, of Tillicum, on Dec. 2, 2005. "Obviously, knowing then what we know now, it's a bit sickening," Troyer said Wednesday, "but when you have a thirdhand report and it doesn't check out, we don't have the resources to check up on all those things. We find a lot of third-party reports aren't true." Cooper also said CPS should have investigated. The screener referred the case to the county because Adhahn was not the girl's parent or legal guardian and the state agency investigates reports of abuse only if a parent or guardian is involved. But Cooper said the 15-year-old girl's mother should have been investigated to determine whether she was failing to protect the teenager from abuse. "In retrospect, I would have screened it in with the mom as the subject of the referral," she said. CPS procedures have since been changed to require that a supervisor oversee decisions to accept or reject complaints. Cooper also said Adhahn's name apparently was not checked against the state's sex offender registry following the complaint. Screeners do not routinely check the registry unless a complaint includes specific information that someone is a registered sex offender. Adhahn was required to register as a sex offender after being convicted in 1990 of incest following a violent attack on a family member. He was registered as recently as 2004 but later moved and did not register again. 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 CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES, HAPPILY DESTROYING HUNDREDS 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... |
