County probed welfare of teen before killing
Thursday, Aug 23, 2007 - 12:08 AM By LAWRENCE LATANE III TIMES-DISPATCH STAFF WRITER http://www.inrich.com/cva/ric/news.a...8-23-0216.html The safety of a Spotsylvania County teen allegedly killed by her father was the subject of an investigation by county social workers in the days before Tuesday's shooting. Thirteen-year-old Kayla Reynolds was lying dead on the front porch of her home with a single bullet wound in the back of her head when deputies arrived at 1:10 a.m. Her 19-year-old half sister had been shot in the chin and told deputies that her stepfather, Earl Wayne Reynolds, had done the shooting. Reynolds, 44, appeared in court on a charge of murder yesterday morning in the county's Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court and remains in jail without bond. Commonwealth's Attorney William Neely said the county Department of Social Services "had an open investigation going" at the household in response to a neighbor's concerns. "I think they had been out to the house on more than one occasion," Neely said of social workers. The department is authorized to remove children from homes in response to an immediate threat subject to a judge's review within 72 hours, Neely said. In other cases, social workers can seek a judicial order to take a child into protective custody. Kayla Reynolds lived at the home with her father and an uncle, Neely said. The 19-year-old woman was visiting at the time of the shooting. Their mother died a few years ago. The social worker in charge of the investigation is "working with the detective handling this case," Neely said. Sheriff Howard Smith said Tuesday that deputies interviewed Reynolds after arresting him that morning. The county social-services department did not return phone calls yesterday. Juvenile court set Reynolds' preliminary hearing for Nov. 28. Contact Lawrence Latané III at (804) 333-3461 or . 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... |
