Nov. 17, 2007, 5:25PM Without both parents, childrens' abuse risk rises Studies finding cohabitation trend often poses danger By DAVID CRARY Associated Press STATISTICS Many studies reinforce the concerns. Among the findings: * Danger of death: Children living in households with unrelated adults are nearly 50 times as likely to die of inflicted injuries as children living with two biological parents, according to a study of Missouri data published in the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics in 2005. * Danger of assault: Children living in stepfamilies or with single parents are at higher risk of physical or sexual assault than children living with two biological or adoptive parents, according to several studies co-authored by David Finkelhor, director of the University of New Hampshire's Crimes Against Children Research Center. * Hazard for girls: Girls whose parents divorce face significantly higher risk of sexual assault, whether they live with their mother or father, according to research by Robin Wilson, a family law professor at Washington and Lee University. ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK -- Six-year-old Oscar Jimenez Jr. was beaten to death in California, then buried under fertilizer and cement. Jayden Cangro, 2, died after being thrown across a room in Utah. In each case, as in many others every year, the alleged or convicted perpetrator had been the boyfriend of the child's mother -- men thrust into father-like roles which they tragically failed to embrace. Every family is different. Some single mothers bring men into their lives who lovingly help raise children when the biological father is gone for good. Nonetheless, many scholars and social workers who monitor America's families see the abusive-boyfriend syndrome as part of a broader, deeply worrisome trend. They note an ever-increasing share of America's children grow up in homes without both biological parents, and say the risk of child abuse is markedly higher in the nontraditional family structures. "This is the dark underbelly of cohabitation," said Brad Wilcox, a University of Virginia sociologist. Existing U.S. data on child abuse is patchwork, making it hard to track national trends with precision. The latest federal survey on child maltreatment tallies nearly 900,000 abuse incidents reported to state agencies in 2005, but doesn't delve into how abuse rates correlate with parents' marital status or the makeup of a child's household. Similarly, data on the roughly 1,500 child-abuse fatalities that occur annually in America leaves unanswered questions. Many of those deaths result from parental neglect, rather than overt physical abuse. Of the 500 or so deaths caused by physical abuse, the federal statistics don't specify how many were caused by a stepparent or unmarried partner of the parent. Census data make clear that family patterns have changed dramatically in recent decades as cohabitation and single-parenthood became common. Thirty years ago, nearly 80 percent of America's children lived with both parents. Now, only two-thirds of them do. Of all families with children, nearly 29 percent are now one-parent families, up from 17 percent in 1977. The net result is a sharp increase in households with a statistically greater potential for instability, along with the likelihood that adults and children will reside in them who have no biological connection. "I've seen many cases of physical and sexual abuse that come up with boyfriends, stepparents," said Eliana Gil, clinical director for the national abuse-prevention group Childhelp. "It comes down to the fact they don't have a relationship established with these kids," she said. "Their primary interest is really the adult partner, and they may find themselves more irritated when there's a problem with the children." That was the case with Jayden Cangro. In July 2006, his mother's boyfriend, Phillip Guymon, hurled the 2- year-old across a room in Murray, Utah, because he balked at going to bed. The child died as a result. Jayden's mother, Carly Moore, has undergone therapy since the killing. Yet she continues to second-guess herself about her two-year relationship with Guymon. "There's so much guilt," she said in a telephone interview. "I never saw him hit my kids, ever. But he was gruff in his manner -- there were signs that he wasn't the most pleasant person for kids to be around." Guymon is serving five years in prison for second-degree felony child abuse homicide. Moore thinks the penalty ... read more - Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - http://www.canada.com/ottawacitizen/...4b70a2&k=70446 Boyfriend to testify in mother-daughter sex abuse trial Paula McCooey, Ottawa Citizen Published: Wednesday, November 14, 2007 The trial of a mother accused of forcing her young daughter to fondle her and her then-boyfriend over five years continued Wednesday. The 38-year-old woman is charged with two counts of sexual assault, sexual interference and invitation to sexual touching, between 2001 and 2006. A publication ban on all names has been imposed to protect the identity of the child. the 10-year-old girl about the allegations raised by the girl's father, who learned of the alleged incidents through the girl's seven- year-old sister. Asked how the girl felt when her mother's friend used to come over, the girl replied "not good." She later described scenarios in which her mother would call her from her bedroom and into the living room, where the woman would be with the man, who would be naked. She told the police her mother asked her to touch the man's "private part." Despite the fact she told her mother she didn't want to, and that she felt scared, she was forced to do it, she said. The trial was adjourned three times over a seven month period because the accused claimed she was ill. The woman's ex-boyfriend is expected to continue his testimony Wednesday.

This also adds to the problem with "adequate housing". http://www.inrich.com/cva/ric/news.a...1-18-0221.html Child-abuse tied to family type Sunday, Nov 18, 2007 - 12:09 AM Updated: 12:52 AM A 4-year-old Chesterfield County boy was beaten to death for asking for juice. In Spotsylvania County, the body of 3-year-old Tyreek Davis from Caroline County was recovered from a drum in a creek. The caretaker convicted in the death eventually led police to the watery grave. In both cases, as in many every year, the perpetrator had been the boyfriend of the child's mother -- men thrust into fatherlike roles that they tragically failed to embrace. Every case is different; every family is different. Some single mothers bring men into their lives who lovingly help raise children when the biological father is gone for good. Nonetheless, many scholars and front-line caseworkers who monitor America's families see the abusive-boyfriend syndrome as part of a broader trend that deeply worries them. They note that an increasing share of America's children grow up in homes without both biological parents, and the risk of child abuse is markedly higher in the nontraditional family structures. "This is the dark underbelly of cohabitation," said Brad Wilcox, a sociology professor at the University of Virginia. "Cohabitation has become quite common, and most people think, 'What's the harm?' The harm is we're increasing a pattern of relationships that's not good for children." Research on child abuse in America is patchwork, making it difficult to track national trends with precision. The most recent federal survey on child maltreatment tallied nearly 900,000 abuse incidents reported to state agencies in 2005, but it does not delve into how rates of abuse correlate with parents' marital status or the makeup of a child's household. Similarly, data on the roughly 1,500 child-abuse fatalities that occur annually in the United States leave unanswered questions. Many of those deaths result from parental neglect rather than overt physical abuse. Of the 500 or so deaths caused by physical abuse, the federal statistics do not specify how many were caused by a stepparent or unmarried partner of the parent. Virginia is among states that require annual reports on deaths due to child abuse and neglect. Despite a dearth of federal data, there are many other studies that, taken together, reinforce the concerns. Among the findings: * Children living in households with unrelated adults are nearly 50 times as likely to die of inflicted injuries as children living with two biological parents, according to a study of Missouri abuse reports published in the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics in 2005. * Children living in stepfamilies or with single parents are at higher risk of physical or sexual assault than children living with two biological or adoptive parents, according to several studies co- authored by David Finkelhor, director of the University of New Hampshire's Crimes Against Children Research Center. * Girls whose parents divorce are at significantly higher risk of sexual assault, whether they live with their mother or their father, according to research by Robin Wilson, a family-law professor at Washington and Lee University in Lexington. "All the emphasis on family autonomy and privacy shields the families from investigators, so we don't respond until it's too late," Wilson said. "I hate the fact that something dangerous for children doesn't get responded to because we're afraid of judging someone's lifestyle." .. . . Census data leave no doubt that family patterns have changed dramatically in recent decades as cohabitation and single parenthood became common. Thirty years ago, nearly 80 percent of America's children lived with both parents. Now only two-thirds of them do. Of all families with children, nearly 29 percent are now one-parent families, up from 17 percent in 1977. The net result is a sharp increase in households with a potential for instability, and the likelihood that adults and children who have no biological tie to each other will reside in them. "I've seen many cases of physical and sexual abuse that come up with boyfriends, stepparents," said Eliana Gil, clinical director for the national abuse-prevention group Childhelp. "It comes down to the fact they don't have a relationship established with these kids," she said. "Their primary interest is really the adult partner, and they may find themselves more irritated when there's a problem with the children." .. . . Herman Lee Black was sentenced to 10 years in prison in the Spotsylvania death of Tyreek Davis. At his sentencing in January 2006, he tearfully said he loved Tyreek. Black was the live-in boyfriend of the boy's mother, Linette Davis. A summary of evidence suggested that if the case had gone to trial, Linette Davis would have testified that she was happy living with Black. She also would have said that Black would whip Tyreek with his belt after "potty-training accidents." In the Chesterfield case in which a 4-year-old boy was killed, Travis S. Pritchard pleaded guilty to several charges and was sentenced to 30 years in prison. The child's mother, Patricia A. Lee, was convicted of failing to stop her boyfriend's abuse, which also was directed at her 3-year-old daughter, who spent seven days hospitalized in critical condition. In a failed attempt in April 2006 to have her 20-year prison sentence reduced, she wept as she told a judge, "I was a good and loving mother who made a very bad decision to allow Mr. Pritchard into our lives." .. . . Some of the worst cases of child abuse involve biological parents, and examples abound of children thriving in nontraditional households. "There's no going back to the past," said Washington and Lee's Wilson. "We don't tell people who they can cohabit with. We don't tell them they can't have children out of wedlock." There are, of course, some initiatives aimed at reducing the percentage of children raised by single parents. That's one of the goals of the Bush administration's Healthy Marriage Initiative. "The risk [of abuse] to children outside a two-parent household is greater," said Susan Orr, one of the top child-welfare specialists in the Department of Health and Human Services. "Does that mean all single parents abuse their children? Of course not. But the risk is certainly there, and it's useful to know that." The sensitivity of probing into private lives is one of many issues underlying the lack of definitive national data that correlates child abuse with parents' marital status and household makeup. Some commentators cite a reluctance to press for data that might reflect negatively on single motherhood. Among child-welfare specialists, there is hope that the statistical gaps will be filled by a comprehensive federal survey, the National Incidence Study, that will be completed next year. Long term, many child-welfare advocates say economic and social changes are needed, so that day-care options improve and young men in poor communities have job prospects that make marriage seem more feasible. There is also agreement that many adults in high-risk households need better parenting skills. Times-Dispatch staff researcher Jennifer Perilli and The Associated Press contributed to this report. |

The infant died at Pittsburgh's Children Hospital on Saturday afternoon, two days after the alleged assault. Clinton Smith, 30, of Pittsburgh, the mother's live-in boyfriend, remains in custody after being charged with rape and other offenses. Additional charges could follow an autopsy that was scheduled for Sunday, authorities said. The mother told police she left the baby with Smith on Thursday morning when she went to her waitressing job. Smith was also caring for his 2-year-old son. The mother found the baby unresponsive when she returned home at about 9:30 p.m. and called paramedics. The baby had severe bruises on her face, arms and legs, as well as a bite mark on her chest, police said. Doctors told police she had also been sexually assaulted. A preliminary hearing for Smith was scheduled for Wednesday. He was awaiting trial on an unrelated June charge of simple assault, court records show. In a separate September 2006 case, a woman who has two young children with Smith was granted a protection-from-abuse order against him after she said he attacked her and their daughter. |

City police have arrested and charged Kyle Cranford, 27, with aggravated battery to a child in connection with the alleged abuse. Cranford lived with the baby's 20-year-old mother and 2-year-old sister in a rented unit at Crestview Apartments in Kankakee. The other child is unharmed, said Det. Sgt. Jay Etzel. While baby-sitting the younger child Monday, the mother received a phone call just after her work shift ended at about 3:30 p.m., said Etzel. That's when she was allegedly told by Cranford that the baby was having trouble breathing. "Just so you know, I've been trying to get hold of you, the baby's not breathing well," Etzel said of Cranford's call to the mother. Assuming the situation was perhaps just an illness, the mother ran errands and went to the grocery store before going home between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m.. That's when, Etzel says, she discovered a child that was not sick, but apparently battered, with blood around her eyes and barely clinging to life. "The baby's laying there with one eye open, one eye closed," said Etzel. The child was rushed to Provena St. Mary's Hospital; and then airlifted to a neonatal intensive care unit at the University of Chicago Hospitals, where she remained in critical condition Thursday night. Etzel said DCFS notified Kankakee detectives Tuesday of the suspected child abuse from health care workers who treated the child. The hospital staff were subsequently interviewed by detectives, as was the suspect, who was later charged after allegedly making "some admissions" related to the child's condition, he added. Cranford's currently being held pending a bond hearing in Kankakee County's Jerome Combs Detention Center. Etzel said that, at this time, he is unaware of any previous police contact of significance with Cranford in the recent past. Cranford has lived in the area only briefly, he added. The detective said he was also informed that DCFS had no record of previous contact with the family prior to the Monday incident. |

Three adults and a juvenile -- the victim's mother, her mother's boyfriend, her sister and her 12-year-old brother -- were charged with kidnapping and aggravated battery after what Hamilton County Sheriff Harrell Reid called years of violent treatment of a mentally challenged woman, now 27. "One of the most severe cases of abuse that I have ever seen. She had been falsely imprisoned in her own home by members of her family that beat her, that tied her up," said Reid. The victim, whose name is not being used because detectives also think she might have been sexually abused, managed to escape the family's White Springs home on Oct. 22. She made it to a nearby home, where rescue personnel were called. Three weeks later, she remains in a local hospital recovering from her injuries. Hamilton and Columbia county deputies, along with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, investigated for the past three weeks and served search warrants and made the arrests on Wednesday. Investigators believe the abuse started when the victim was a teenager and took place over a period of several years. The beatings -- as many as two or three per day -- were conducted as "punishment" for the woman not doing menial chores in the home. Officials said there was also evidence that the victim may have been bound and gagged while the beatings took place. "In my 20 years as sheriff and 10 additional years as a deputy, I have never seen the amount of physical abuse that was endured by this victim," Reid said. "We believe the abuse to be both physical and sexual." Martha Irene Turner, 46, and Johnny Nichols, 43, were taken into custody by Hamilton County deputies. Jessica Lynn Turner, 23, was arrested in Columbia County, where the family moved after the victim escaped. Reid said the mother and sister admitted to keeping the woman imprisoned and abusing her, but said the women never gave a reason why the victim was abused. "How could a mother do, or allow to be done, what was being done to her daughter? That's the question I have," Reid said. The juvenile family member was also taken into custody and turned over to the Department of Juvenile Justice in Gainesville. Four other children were removed from the family's home by the Florida Department of Children and Families and placed in foster care. |

The mother, Aleisha Smith, pleaded guilty earlier to second-degree manslaughter for failing to get her son to a hospital promptly. -Phillip Guymon, 30, of Murray, Utah, was sentenced in October to five years in prison after admitting he threw his girlfriend's 2-year-old son, Jayden Cangro, across a room last year, killing the child. Guymon initially told police the child had fallen out of bed and later said the boy fell down stairs. He eventually acknowledged he had become frustrated and threw the boy when he wouldn't go to bed. -Samuel Corona, 34, was arrested on a murder charge in September in connection with the fatal beating of 6-year-old Oscar Jimenez Jr. in San Jose, Calif., in February. Police say Corona and the boy's mother then took the body to Phoenix, where authorities later discovered it buried beneath concrete bags and soil. The mother, Kathryn Jimenez, who says she was often abused by Corona, has pleaded guilty to lesser charges for her role as an accessory. -Donell Parker, 23, has been charged with murder in the April death of 4-year-old Cameron Smith, who allegedly was punched and whipped with a belt over the course of two days in suburban Chicago. The boy's mother, Lavada Smith, had left her three children with Parker while she was being deployed to Iraq with the Army National Guard. -Derek Chappell, 25, was sentenced to death this month for the 2004 drowning of 2-year-old Devon Shackleford in Mesa, Ariz. Prosecutors said Chappell committed the murder in an apartment complex swimming pool because he considered Devon an obstacle to his relationship with the boy's mother. -Rene Barrios, 26, faces a first-degree murder charge in the Oct. 26 death of a 2-week-old boy, Jaden Encinas, in Tucson, Ariz. Police said the baby appeared to have died from blunt-force trauma. -Kerry Joe Smith, 21, of Oklahoma City, has been charged with sexually abusing and murdering Olivia Scroggins, who died in August a few weeks before her second birthday. Her mother, Wendy Scroggins, 22, has been charged with permitting child abuse. -Alvaro Andres Ramos-Cardenas, 24, faces a murder charge in the July death of 13-month-old Peter Blanco in Tucson, Ariz. Police say the baby was abused after being left by his mother in the care of Ramos- Cardenas. -Traveles Bullard, 21, of Pine Bluff, Ark., faces a murder charge in the July death of 9-month-old Jermauri Craig, whose body was found at a motel where Bullard was caring for him while the mother was at work. Police said Jermauri suffered a skull fracture, bruising around both eyes and bite marks to the side of the face and arm. -Paul Tejada-Jimenez, 30, of New York City, pleaded guilty to manslaughter in October in the July 2006 death of 2-year-old Sharllene Marillo. She died of blunt force trauma to the head; Tejada-Jimenez told police she fell to the floor as he was shaking her. The city's child protection service had received warnings six weeks earlier that Sharllene was being abused. -Raul Arteaga, 33, of Milwaukee, has been charged with first-degree reckless homicide in the suffocation of 19-month-old Alicia Burgess in May. Police said Arteaga told them he was on a crack-cocaine binge at the time and wanted Alicia to stop crying. Alicia and her brother had remained at the home despite several warnings to child-welfare workers of abuse. -Johnny Carvajal, 48, is charged with endangering the welfare of a child and narcotics offenses in connection with the death of 2-year- old Sherlyn Polonia in New York in 2006. A stash of drugs was found in the Bronx apartment, and an autopsy determined the girl died of heroin intoxication. |

cohabitation bad for children

Original message thread in misc.kids I thought it was just propaganda from the corrupt Child Protection INDUSTRY. Their Public Relations has fallen apart badly and their abuse of statistics has been exposed. In Iowa they tried to get a law passed that if a parent cohabitated Iowa DHS could automatically remove children. They argued about the non-related abuse statistics. Then somebody pointed out that when they put a kid in Foster Care, BOTH caretakers are non-related. Suddenly it came to a halt. It's good for them that it stopped because just then it was spashed across the news media public sentiment turned extremely sour. Interestingly, Iowa DHS has an incredible track record of breaking up intact families without any criminal conviction, without evidence, and often without even an accusation. When CPS caseworkers set upon a family and urge the Mother to eject the Father or Fiance' they expect compliance! If the reasoning is absent or fraudulent and the Mother refuses to abandon the Man without good reason, the caseworkers get downright hostile, even malicious. One of the caseworker complaints is that the woman is a pushover for the man, when the real issue is that the woman won't be a pushover FOR THE CASEWORKERS! Instantly and without merit! If a parent was shacking up with a different guy each week, or each night, I could see that as a serious issue, but the REALITY is that the agencies drive out Husbands, Dads and Fiance's in longstanding relationships with the family and the agency MISREPRESENTS this as promiscuity. A healthy BOND, relationship or loyalty is actually seen as an obstacle, a difficulty, a target for Child Protection caseworkers to attack. One explanation is that several years ago one Feminist group reviewed textbooks for the curriculum in college "Womens Studies" courses and programs. The Feminist group actually complained that severe anti male bias had crept into the curriculum. In reference to family, Fathers were referred to as a "foreign element". The field of Social Work itself has huge problems with the unscientific way they come to supposedly KNOW various of their truisms. Much of it is more political dogma than scientific truth, not that it matters much to caseworkers, most of whom are NOT licensed Social Workers. Caseworkers are generally politically liberal and the agencies traditionally carry a strong bias in favor of homosexuality. Another factor is the number of homosexuals working IN the agencies. In many cases of abuse in Foster Care it seems that the liberal trusims and pro gay agenda has backfired severely and and endangered children. There seems to be an element of the "spoils system" in how Child Protection functions. They have placed kids with ""Single Men"" (gay) and had particularly nasty results. In one case a UK citizen was allowed to be a Foster in Oregon, and take in boys, and after he moved to Monterey California, Oregon continued to send him little boys. Even after abuse accusations arose, they STILL sent him little boys to indoctrinate into anal sex. In the Judith Leekin case it seems likely that she got help from inside the agencies or at least was part of some sort of organized enterprise. Recent information shows that kids are actually better off staying home EVEN if there is some level of abuse or neglect. It turns out that the DAMAGE done by child removal and breaking the family is FAR DEEPER and LONG LASTING than the damage done by even moderate abuse. The child homicide story is NOT the normal thing that CPS encounters. Not by a long shot! The sort of things that a reasonable person considers child abuse are actually LESS than 1% of the child removals on CPS caseloads. But the PR people at the agencies are anxious to have the horror stories depicted in the press. ( This form of exaggeration is called "demagoguery". It's like when Barney Fife talks up his job as if he deals with hardened criminals on a daily basis, when the reality is Otis and parking tickets. ) Recently some Fosters duct taped a 2 year old to a toilet and duct taped the 2 year old to a crib. When this outrage blew up, the kids were returned to their family. In a rare bit of reporting it was revealed that the children were removed from their parents for "Messy House" and failure to supervise. These are more like the USUAL reasons that populate a caseworkers case load. Please note that those issues DO NOT rise to the IMMINENT DANGER that should have been required to remove the children. CWLA, one of the biggest lobbying organizations for the Child Protection INDUSTRY reported a few months back that 1/3 of kids in Foster Care could go home if the parents only had adequate housing. This ALSO reveals the lack of IMMINENT DANGER in child removal cases. For the Child Protection INDUSTRY to complain about broken families and the risks is absurd considering the way they have destroyed so many families starting with the "divide and conquer" tactic of driving husbands, fathers, fiance's out as "foreign elements". This also adds to the problem with "adequate housing". http://www.daily-journal.com/archive....php?id=407885 Web Exclusive: Baby clings to life; mom's boyfriend arrested 11/15/2007, 5:33 pm Comment on this story By Gary Mays 815-937-3359 An 11-month-old Kankakee baby girl is on life-support at a Chicago hospital following a case of what authorities allege was severe child abuse Monday at the hands of a live-in-boyfriend. Officials Thursday said the baby has a cerebral hemorrhage and other injuries consistent with being severely shaken. They were unsure if she would make it through the night. City police have arrested and charged Kyle Cranford, 27, with aggravated battery to a child in connection with the alleged abuse. Cranford lived with the baby's 20-year-old mother and 2-year-old sister in a rented unit at Crestview Apartments in Kankakee. The other child is unharmed, said Det. Sgt. Jay Etzel. While baby-sitting the younger child Monday, the mother received a phone call just after her work shift ended at about 3:30 p.m., said Etzel. That's when she was allegedly told by Cranford that the baby was having trouble breathing. "Just so you know, I've been trying to get hold of you, the baby's not breathing well," Etzel said of Cranford's call to the mother. Assuming the situation was perhaps just an illness, the mother ran errands and went to the grocery store before going home between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m.. That's when, Etzel says, she discovered a child that was not sick, but apparently battered, with blood around her eyes and barely clinging to life. "The baby's laying there with one eye open, one eye closed," said Etzel. The child was rushed to Provena St. Mary's Hospital; and then airlifted to a neonatal intensive care unit at the University of Chicago Hospitals, where she remained in critical condition Thursday night. Etzel said DCFS notified Kankakee detectives Tuesday of the suspected child abuse from health care workers who treated the child. The hospital staff were subsequently interviewed by detectives, as was the suspect, who was later charged after allegedly making "some admissions" related to the child's condition, he added. Cranford's currently being held pending a bond hearing in Kankakee County's Jerome Combs Detention Center. Etzel said that, at this time, he is unaware of any previous police contact of significance with Cranford in the recent past. Cranford has lived in the area only briefly, he added. The detective said he was also informed that DCFS had no record of previous contact with the family prior to the Monday incident.

I wonder if that has anything to do with the immature nature of the early twenties. I know that I, personally, sure didn't have the patience in my twenties that I have now. I am certain that I would have been more likely to be easily frustrated at those ages. |
