Authorities say they discovered a child covered in open sores at the
White Court Motel Monday. But one resident of the motel says the child
was in the same condition when she called Child Protective Services two
weeks earlier.

"We called two weeks ago, a week ago, protective services were here five
days ago, did not take that child out of there," said a woman who lives
at the White Court Motel, but did not wish to be named.

She says there were complaints to Child Protective Services long before
a 14-month old boy was taken into protective custody Monday morning.
That morning, officials say the boy was found at the motel covered in
sores and wearing a diaper filled with three to four days worth of feces.

"They were here four days ago... why didn't they take him out then? His
scabs and his sores, his malnutrition, it was all still there."

Monday, the boy's own mother, Amiee Louvier, was arrested for felony
child neglect, along with grandparents: Jennie and Gerald Oswalt.
Police say they went to the White Court Motel based on a tip, not to
Child Protective Services, but the Motel Interdiction Team hotline.

"The Motel Interdiction Team contacted the Washoe County Social Services
who had an open case on, possibly (on) the people in the motel, and then
they went to the motel with the Washoe County Social Services," Sgt.
James Becker of the Reno Police Department said.

Another White Court resident who spoke with KOLO Eight says people from
Child Protective Services had been at the motel to check on the child
before.
But, she says the door to the family's room was never opened until
Monday when police made an appearance. The discoveries were shocking.

"Drugs just fell into the whole thing... this baby's walking bare-footed
and there's needles open on the carpet," the resident said.

Residents of the White Court Motel say there are good people who live
there. They even say residents are trying to clean up their neighborhood
by reporting drug use and other illegal activity.
It's what one woman says she was trying to do by calling CPS weeks ago.

"That baby was let down by everybody... that baby was let down by
everybody and that's the sad part of this whole dang thing."

Attempts to contact CPS for comment on this story were unsuccessful
Monday evening.




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.
