CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. -- A 13-year-old boy who was a resident at the Chad
Youth Center in Montgomery County has been charged with rape.

The boy is accused of victimizing another resident, who was also 13, on
Sunday.

They family of the victim said they are not upset just because their son
was allegedly the victim of a sexual assault by another teen, but
because of how Chad officials reacted.

Her alleged victim and a Chad supervisor called the mother Sunday about
9:30 p.m. on Sunday to say the son had been sexually assaulted.

A Kentucky family of the alleged victim has hired a lawyer because of
the incident.

"The entire family is very upset about the entire incident and very
concerned about the son's well-being," said the alleged victim's family
attorney, Rebecca Blair.

"She asked if the police were notified. She was told their protocol was
to contact child protective services," said Blair.

The mother asked if her son had been taken to the hospital, but Chad
again said that was not their protocol.

“If a child has been raped, how are you going to prove it if you don't
bring them for a physical exam to a hospital?" asked reporter Nancy Amons.

"I would agree with you," said Blair.

At the mother's insistence, her son was taken to Gateway Medical Center
in Clarksville, where he was examined. It wasn't until after midnight
that the police were called by the hospital, not the youth center.

"How does the family feel about the way Chad handled things?" asked Amons.

"They are very upset about it," said Blair. "They're certainly
investigating their rights."

There are many unanswered questions. For example, where was the staff
when the alleged attack occurred?

As Channel 4 has previously reported, Chad has been criticized by state
officials for chronic understaffing and for failing to report incidents
to the state.

The suspect who was arrested on Monday is from Philadelphia, which
contracts with the youth center to treat children. Some of the children
are accused criminals, some are neglected and some are mentally ill.

The teen who was the alleged victim in this case had not been accused of
any crime. His parents had sent him to Chad for therapy, and he has
returned home.

A Philadelphia 17-year-old died at Chad in June during a scuffle with
the staff. The cause of death for Omega Leach has still not been released.



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...

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.
