Frankly, UNNAMED DAD sounds like a sociopath. He's aping the language of "feeling" and "victimization" when he doesn't feel a thing. In other words, he's a total bullsh**ter.

'I am in pain inside' suspended Mountie says, as child abuse trial continues
Joanne Schnurr, CTV Ottawa

A suspended Mountie continued his assertions in an Ottawa court today that he had been a victim of abuse and that, in a fog; he had seen his son as the enemy during the time in which he beat and confined him. The Crown prosecutor was having none of that. The focus today was finding the truth and that discussion led to a combative day between the Crown and the accused who maintained he was legally responsible for abusing his son but not morally.
The boy was just 7 years old when he moved in with his father and stepmother after his birth mother died. Within 4 months of that move, he would spend his first night sleeping in the unfinished basement as punishment.
"He was out of control from the moment he arrived," the father testified in court today, "I was constantly putting out fires."
The 44-year-old father is a suspended RCMP officer, on trial, along with his 36-year-old wife, for confining his son and denying him the necessities of life. The father is also charged with sexual assault.
The man told court that he had hired a child psychologist to ostensibly deal with his son's behavior. When the doctor suggested that the father was "terrorizing his son", court heard that the father ended sessions.
The accused has maintained throughout the Crown's cross examination that he was a man under duress, driven by the demons from his past to view his own son as a demon.
"I don't know what the hell I was doing,” he told court, “why I beat my son, why I burned him."
He has agreed to the abuse, but is mounting a defense, trying to prove he suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder after he says he was raped as child in Lebanon; that he internalized this abuse and saw his son as the enemy.
After 4 years of living in this situation, the son escaped from the chains binding him in the basement and managed to flee the house while rest of family was shopping. He was 11 years old at this point in time and weighed 50 pounds. Doctors at CHEO, who examined him, said he almost starved to death.
When the father returned home and found him missing, he called 911. That was February 12, 2013.
"I’m guilty of this,” he told the 911 operator, “I did bad things with him. I did bad things to him and I regret it."
From here, followed a frustrating exchange between the Crown, trying to prove this man knew exactly what he was doing, and the father maintaining he was living in a fog.
At one point, the Crown presented a 6-foot long piece of wood flooring; similar to what the father admits he used to hit his son.
"Did you hit him on the arm?" the Crown asked.
"I don't know," he answered.
"Did you hit him on the stomach or the head?"
"I don't know," he repeated.
He said he remembers hitting and burning his son but added he didn't rationalize what he was doing. The trial continues tomorrow.

Custodial dad, former "CPS liason," and admitted child molester to be sentenced (Lubbock, Texas)
So Daddy Dearest destroyed his son's life by grooming him to move away from South Carolina (and his mother) to be with Daddy in Texas. Promised help with scholarships to college and all kinds of stuff like that. All lies. He destroyed this kid. Turned him into a convicted child molester just like the old man.
But notice you have to get nearly to the end to find out that WILLIAM BRILEY was a CUSTODIAL FATHER. And despite CPS investigations for child abuse, he was able to REGAIN CUSTODY.
He even became a "CPS LIASON"!!! A fact that is merely reported in passing, but hints at the vast collusion between molesters and abusers and the "child protection" agencies.
Notice that the mother has been totally erased from this story. Not one word on the process by which Daddy Dearest was able to strip her of her 13-year-old son and destroy him. Not one word about the judge and other personnel who helped him.

Family member gives testimony in sentencing of admitted child molester
William Briley faces punishment ranging from 25 years to life without parole

The first day of a sentencing hearing for admitted child molester William Briley opened with testimony from a 17-year-old family member who also pleaded guilty to sexually abusing family members.
Chris Briley entered the courtroom Monday handcuffed and wearing a Lubbock County Detention Center uniform.
He testified about the sexual and physical abuse he suffered at the hands of his father, William Briley.
Chris Briley was taken from a Texas Juvenile Justice Department facility in Gainesville to testify in Lubbock. His testimony took up most of the morning.
Prosecutors also called on witnesses who testified to the emotional scars the abuse has left on the victims who were about 7 and 8 years old at the time.
The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal does not identify victims of sexual abuse. However, Chris Briley pleaded guilty in 2013 to abusing the same family members his father is accused of abusing.
William Briley, 35, entered an open plea of guilty in February in the 137th District Court to a charge of continuous sexual abuse of a child.
He faces a punishment ranging from 25 years to life in prison without parole.
Lead prosecutor Jaret Greaser asked judge John “Trey” McClendon to give Briley the maximum sentence.
He said he found no mitigating factors to warrant giving Briley anything less than life in prison.
Briley’s attorney, Mark Snodgrass, asked McClendon not to let the hatred of his client’s actions overcome his judgement and asked for a sentence on the lower range of the punishment.
He said his client was a also victim of sexual abuse and struggled with drug addiction.
“There are no excuses, but there are reasons for this case,” he said. “Take a look at the person.”
William Briley was arrested in 2013 after a family member made an outcry to a guidance counselor about Chris Briley’s abuse.
During the ensuing investigation the family member also accused William Briley of abuse.
Chris Briley testified in court to moving to Lubbock from South Carolina when he was 13-years-old to live with his father.
William Briley had promised him a better life if he moved with him, saying he could play football and possibly earn a scholarship to go to college.
Once in Lubbock, Briley said his father began talking to him about sex and what his sexual interests were.
The subject progressed and William Briley would lay down sexual challenges, Chris Briley said.
He said his father wanted to find out if Chris Briley performed a sexual act better than William Briley’s girlfriend, Lacy McCauley.
William Briley followed through with the challenge two days after his son’s 14th birthday.
About six months to a year later, William Briley made his son perform a sexual act on McCauley, Chris Briley said.
McCauley is facing a charge of aggravated sexual assault stemming from the investigation.
Chris Briley said his father would also sexually and physically abuse him.
He recounted his father’s temper, saying he would be on the receiving end of a backhand if he spoke out.
Chris Briley said he believed his father sexually abused other family members but did not observe it.
He said his father spoke to him when a family member complained about Chris Briley’s abuse.
Chris Briley said his father told him his urges toward family members were natural and that he had the same feelings when he was his age.
During the hearing, a video of an interview between a family member with a children’s advocacy center agent was played.
During the interview, the family member accused Chris Briley of abusing her and another family member.
Later on she accused William Briley of the same abuse.
Forensic interviewer Terri Sanchez said the outcry against William Briley was a surprise.
She said she only knew about Chris Briley’s abuse before the interview.
The victim’s legal guardian said the children have developed trust issues and a fear of rejection.
The victims were removed from an initial foster home because the foster parents said they were ill equipped to deal with children’s issues stemming from the abuse.
The current guardian said the children refuse to talk about their past and suffer from post traumatic stress disorder.
William Briley’s probation officer also testified and listed the defendant’s drug-fueled criminal history.
Briley’s probation records revealed his struggle with drug addiction in which the defendant would seek rehabilitation only to relapse.
Megan McCracken, with Child Protective Services, said Briley was investigated in 2005 and his children were removed from his custody.
However, she said Briley worked to improve himself and regained custody of his children.
She said Briley even became a CPS liaison.
However, he lost that status after relapsing.
She described the charges against Briley as surprising.
The hearing continues Tuesday at 9:30 a.m.

Child protection taken to task: Why did they give father with history of domestic violence custody of little boy who was beaten to death? (Hiawatha, Kansas)
I can't even begin to summarize this case. It is too disgusting. Once again, we see how governmental authority works with abusive fathers to help them gain and retain custody. And once again, a murdered child is the result.
Dad is identified as LEE DAVIS.

Documents: Hospital personnel describe abuse to 4-year-old Mekhi Boone as 'the worst ever seen'
By Jonathan Shorman
Mekhi Patrick Dean Boone, 4, of Hiawatha, died March 5, 2013 after suffering from child abuse.
Mekhi Patrick Dean Boone suffered the “worst case of child abuse they have seen.”
The 4-year-old Hiawatha boy lay on a Children’s Mercy Hospital bed in Kansas City, Mo., hooked up to a ventilator. A visiting social worker scrawled an observation on a case activity log, noting the child was brain dead.
“There is not a 2 inch part of his body that doesn’t have bruises. He was beat to death,” the log reads.
The entry was dated March 4, 2013. Mekhi was pronounced dead the next day — apparently without family by his side.
While the boy’s father and his father’s girlfriend were prosecuted for murder, the boy’s mother alleges the “outrageous conduct” of the state of Kansas and one of its contractors caused the death.
More than a hundred pages of court documents allege Kansas-based TFI Family Services, which at the time was one of the companies tasked with running the state’s foster care system, placed Mekhi with his father, Lee Davis, despite knowing he had a history of domestic violence and without telling the Department of Children and Families — the agency ultimately responsible for Mekhi’s well-being.
The court filings — part of a federal lawsuit against TFI and DCF brought by Mekhi’s mother — purport to document mistakes and missed clues prior to the boy’s death. Dozens of pages of emails and official reports paint a picture of an agency and a company where required visits weren’t made and action wasn’t taken, even after evidence of abuse began to mount.
Changes in custody
Mekhi was born Sept. 4, 2008, in Horton. Although he lived only four years, he was described as a smiling boy with energy.
“I had the opportunity to meet little Mekhi last year while he was in preschool. There was something special about this little guy that intrigued me; to sum it up, he touched my heart,” one person wrote on the funeral home’s condolence page.
Months before Mekhi’s death, an educator at the preschool reported he showed signs of abuse, but the boy’s situation didn’t change.
Mekhi had spent the first part of his life with his mother, Naomi Boone. According to a July 10, 2012, case activity log written by Michelle Petry, a DCF worker named in the lawsuit, the agency had concerns with Mekhi staying with his mother and ultimately sought to remove him.
The report recounts a conversation between Petry and TFI at the Brown County Courthouse ahead of a temporary custody hearing.
According to Petry’s report, Mekhi had been found on two occasions at a grocery store in Horton without supervision. The lawsuit also says Mekhi had attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. Davis, his father, would later cite the boy’s behavior issues in attempting to explain injuries.
“We discussed that (redacted)’s father has not had much to do with him since birth according to Naomi and that Naomi reported she has concerns that he is an alcoholic and also reported that (redacted) had returned home from a visit with his father a year or so ago with a bruise on his face and she was concerned that dad had caused the bruise,” Petry wrote.
The report concludes by noting that Boone had said she told Horton police about the bruise incident and that law enforcement had investigated. Petry then writes “that is why we are not looking at dad for placement option at this time.”
Petry’s warning to TFI would go unheeded, according to the lawsuit.
At the hearing, the court placed Mekhi into the state’s custody. TFI then placed the boy with his paternal grandmother, Carol Negretti, who was also a licensed foster parent.
More than a year earlier in March 2011, the Kansas Department for Health and Human Services had designated Mekhi’s father as having a “prohibited offense.” The label meant that Davis was prohibited from working at a licensed foster home or living in a foster home under Kansas law.
Davis, who was 27 at the time of Mekhi’s death, had been twice convicted of misdemeanor battery. In one September 2009 incident recorded in a police report, a woman told Horton police that Davis had grabbed her by the throat and had pushed her against a wall. Davis told police the woman had slapped him and that he had hit her back.
In an April 2013 email sent in response to questions raised by DCF following Mekhi’s death, Gaven Ludlow, TFI’s director of Resource Family Services, said TFI was informed in March 2011 that Lee had a prohibited offense.
Mekhi lived with Negretti for about four months. But despite Davis having a prohibited offense, on Nov. 3, 2012, TFI took Mekhi from Negretti, his paternal grandmother, and placed him with his father.
According to the lawsuit, Davis had never before had custody of Mekhi. The lawsuit alleges TFI didn’t notify DCF in advance that it had decided to move Mekhi. In a March 20, 2013, email, Melinda Handley, a DCF social work supervisor, wrote that DCF staff didn’t know Mekhi was being placed with Lee before TFI moved him.
Less than a week after Mekhi was taken from his mother and placed with Negretti, Davis began to visit Mekhi at Negretti’s home. A document written by TFI in response to DCF questions following Mekhi’s death outlines how Davis began having more and more contact with Mekhi.
Davis had three supervised visits with Mekhi during July that took place at Negretti’s home. Davis then began unsupervised visits in August, with day visits taking place on Saturdays. He started to pick up Mekhi from preschool and take him to daycare. Once-a-week visits started in September, and Davis looked after the child on some evenings as well.
TFI described what case managers observed on their home visits with Davis beginning in July 2012 through January 2013. Generally, the case managers noted a clean home.
But the regularity of visits didn’t meet standards, the lawsuit alleges. When Mekhi was transferred from Negretti’s custody to Davis’ custody, the transfer wasn’t facilitated by either DCF or TFI. Instead, according to the TFI document, Davis picked up Mekhi from Negretti’s home on the date he was placed with his father.
In addition, TFI said the first visit to see Mekhi following reintegration came on Nov. 28, more than two weeks after the transfer of custody. State regulations, however, require the supervising worker to visit the child biweekly during the first three months of placement and then monthly afterward.
On a Dec. 27 visit, a worker noticed Mekhi had two black eyes and a big bump on his head. Davis had contacted TFI before the visit, saying the child had fallen into the arm of a futon while playing at his grandmother’s home and that he had taken Mekhi to the doctor.
TFI said in the document that Negretti confirmed to them through informal conversation that Mekhi fell on the futon, but the conversation was never formally documented. During a Jan. 18 visit, the worker noted Mekhi’s bruises had disappeared, with no other bruising noted on his body.
But while the TFI employees saw an apparently benign injury, Mekhi’s preschool teacher had noticed signs of physical abuse — not accidental injury — a month earlier.
In a note dated Nov. 26, 2012, an educator at Brown County Special Education Interlocal 615 wrote that several bruises and red marks could be seen on Mekhi’s stomach. The educator asked Mekhi what had happened, but he didn’t say anything.
When the school nurse examined him, Mekhi said he had fallen at home in the grass in the backyard. When asked how he fell, he said he was on the roof and jumped off.
Later that day, though, Mekhi opened up — saying that he hated living with his father and that Davis had slapped him.
“He then showed them his stomach. When asked why he said it’s when he gets in trouble and has to stand by the wall and then he said he gets slapped all over,” the teacher wrote.
Documents from the school also note about two weeks prior to Mekhi’s comments, he had bruises on both of his temples.
Mekhi’s bruises and his comments were reported to the Kansas Intake/Investigation Protection System — a DCF hotline, documents show. According to the lawsuit, DCF employee Debra Adcock conducted an investigation into the hotline call.
The lawsuit alleges Adcock’s investigation didn’t find the same risks associated with Davis that Petry noted in July 2012. DCF concluded that there was a “low risk” of abuse or neglect and that the risk was “controlled.”
“The second risk assessment contained no explanation for the conclusion that the risk to M.B.’s safety was deemed ‘low’ for abuse after M.B. had been placed with Mr. Davis, who DCF had previously determined was not a placement option for M.B. because of Mr. Davis’ background of domestic violence against M.B. and others,” the lawsuit reads.
According to the lawsuit, Adcock’s investigation lasted from Nov. 26, 2012, to Jan. 10, 2013. During that time, Adcock visited Mekhi once face-to-face. The lawsuit alleged Adcock didn’t interview the individual who made the hotline call, nor did she interview anyone who was at Mekhi’s school that day.
The lawsuit says Adcock determined the allegations were unsubstantiated and closed the investigation.
Further, the lawsuit says Adcock told TFI about the hotline call on Nov. 26. TFI indicated it would pay special attention to Mekhi, but that it had no concern about Mekhi being in the Davis home.
The lawsuit also alleges DCF didn’t meet with Mekhi while he was living with Davis, despite an obligation to make contact with the family at least once every 30 calendar days to evaluate risk and safety factors, according to DCF regulations.
No one, either from TFI or DCF, visited Mekhi after Jan. 13, 2013, the lawsuit says.
The worst ever seen
After a little less than two months without any contact from the state or TFI, Mekhi’s situation changed suddenly.
Davis brought Mekhi to the Hiawatha hospital on March 3, 2013. Mekhi was unresponsive. Davis said the child had fallen down 30 stairs.
According to the lawsuit, Davis spoke of behavior problems with the boy. Hospital staff who removed Mekhi’s clothing saw bruising and abrasions all over his body in various stages of healing.
Mekhi had multiple injuries, including internal bleeding and bleeding on the brain. He was taken by helicopter to Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo.
At Children’s Mercy, doctors diagnosed Mekhi with severe traumatic brain injury secondary to child abuse, a skull fracture, mid-line shift of the brain and multiple bruises. The diagnosis didn’t match the explanation Davis had provided.
“Children’s Mercy personnel including a medical doctor who had observed approximately 15,000 victims of child abuse, described (Mekhi’s) injuries as the worst ever seen for a child that age, and that there was not two inches of (Mekhi’s) body that did not have bruising on it,” the lawsuit reads.
On March 4, Petry — the DCF worker who had told TFI in July 2012 that Davis wasn’t a placement option — visited Mekhi in the hospital. She wrote in her case activity log that Mekhi had been “beat to death.” She noted Mekhi showed signs of sexual abuse as well.
“After midnight test brain activity and they will pronounce him dead if nothing has changed,” Petry wrote.
The test came and went. At 2:35 p.m. on March 5, Mekhi was pronounced dead.
Davis and his girlfriend, Janice Summerford, were charged with murder. Davis was sentenced to nearly 20 years in prison in July 2013. In August 2014, Summerford entered an Alford Plea — acknowledging enough evidence exists to convict her but not admitting guilt, the Sabetha Herald reported at the time.
Though a DCF employee was present at the time of Mekhi's death, and multiple DCF employees visited Mekhi in the hospital, the lawsuit alleges no one from TFI visited Mekhi in the hospital.
Further, the lawsuit alleges Mekhi died without his family. “Naomi Boone was not allowed to visit her son, (Mekhi), before his death while he was hospitalized at Children’s Mercy Hospital. (Mekhi’s) family were not allowed to see or visit (Mekhi) while he was being treated at Children’s Mercy,” the lawsuit reads.
“(Mekhi) died without his mother or family present.”
Ongoing litigation
Naomi Boone filed her lawsuit against TFI and DCF on Oct. 27, 2014. The lawsuit, which totals more than 100 pages with attached emails and reports, appears to have drawn little outside attention since.
The lawsuit was listed, however, in a budget document given to lawmakers Monday. The document indicates DCF was served with the lawsuit in December and filed an answer in January. However, federal court records show DCF was served on Oct. 31 and that TFI was served on Nov. 6.
Boone’s attorney, Michaela Shelton, of Overland Park, said she would potentially be willing to speak to The Topeka Capital-Journal, but as of Tuesday afternoon hadn’t agreed to an interview.
Approached for comment, DCF spokeswoman Theresa Freed sent a short statement that indicated one employee was fired.
“The loss of any child is a tragedy. We are deeply saddened that this little boy suffered an unthinkable death. It is always our top priority to ensure the safety of children. DCF has carefully reviewed this case and taken appropriate action, including the termination of an employee,” Freed said.
Questions directed at TFI spokeswoman Sara Hadaway were forwarded to the Kansas City, Mo., law firm Franke, Schultz & Mullen.
“Our firm is counsel of record for TFI. We would request that any further inquiries be directed to our office. It is TFI’s policy not to comment on pending litigation. Thank you for reaching out for comment before going to print,” attorney Derek Johannsen said in an email.
TFI has drawn scrutiny for past incidents. In the 2011 death of a Topeka baby, the child's grandmother said she had filed a report with TFI prior to the death raising concerns about injuries.
This past summer, TFI also attracted attention after a 10-month-old girl who had been placed into a foster home by TFI died in a hot car in Wichita. DCF temporarily suspended further foster placements by TFI but later lifted the restriction after a review of its foster homes found no serious safety concerns.
Although TFI lost its state contract in 2013, it still works as a subcontractor.
DCF and TFI both answered the lawsuit in Dec. 9 court filings, a month prior to what DCF indicated to lawmakers. In its answer, DCF seeks to distance itself from the incident and says it had no connection to Mekhi’s death.
“These answering Defendants would affirmatively assert there is no causal connection between these answering Defendants’ conduct and the death of (Mekhi), the constitutional deprivations claims by Plaintiffs, and the other injuries and damages claimed by Plaintiffs,” DCF’s legal answer reads.
Boone’s lawsuit argues her son’s due process rights were violated, a claim that also drew a response from DCF.
“These answering Defendants affirmatively assert that the Due Process Clause of the U.S. Constitution does not require these answering Defendants to protect its citizens from private violence,” the answer reads.
TFI in its answer denies the plaintiff sustained any damage. The company suggests that if any fault is found, it should be shared with DCF as well.
According to an online court docket, the next step in the lawsuit is a scheduling conference set for Monday.

Months before Mekhi’s death, an educator at the preschool reported he showed signs of abuse, but the boy’s situation didn’t change.
Mekhi had spent the first part of his life with his mother, Naomi Boone. According to a July 10, 2012, case activity log written by Michelle Petry, a DCF worker named in the lawsuit, the agency had concerns with Mekhi staying with his mother and ultimately sought to remove him.
The report recounts a conversation between Petry and TFI at the Brown County Courthouse ahead of a temporary custody hearing.
According to Petry’s report, Mekhi had been found on two occasions at a grocery store in Horton without supervision. The lawsuit also says Mekhi had attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. Davis, his father, would later cite the boy’s behavior issues in attempting to explain injuries.
“We discussed that (redacted)’s father has not had much to do with him since birth according to Naomi and that Naomi reported she has concerns that he is an alcoholic and also reported that (redacted) had returned home from a visit with his father a year or so ago with a bruise on his face and she was concerned that dad had caused the bruise,” Petry wrote.
The report concludes by noting that Boone had said she told Horton police about the bruise incident and that law enforcement had investigated. Petry then writes “that is why we are not looking at dad for placement option at this time.”
Petry’s warning to TFI would go unheeded, according to the lawsuit.
At the hearing, the court placed Mekhi into the state’s custody. TFI then placed the boy with his paternal grandmother, Carol Negretti, who was also a licensed foster parent.
More than a year earlier in March 2011, the Kansas Department for Health and Human Services had designated Mekhi’s father as having a “prohibited offense.” The label meant that Davis was prohibited from working at a licensed foster home or living in a foster home under Kansas law.
Davis, who was 27 at the time of Mekhi’s death, had been twice convicted of misdemeanor battery. In one September 2009 incident recorded in a police report, a woman told Horton police that Davis had grabbed her by the throat and had pushed her against a wall. Davis told police the woman had slapped him and that he had hit her back.
In an April 2013 email sent in response to questions raised by DCF following Mekhi’s death, Gaven Ludlow, TFI’s director of Resource Family Services, said TFI was informed in March 2011 that Lee had a prohibited offense.
Mekhi lived with Negretti for about four months. But despite Davis having a prohibited offense, on Nov. 3, 2012, TFI took Mekhi from Negretti, his paternal grandmother, and placed him with his father.
According to the lawsuit, Davis had never before had custody of Mekhi. The lawsuit alleges TFI didn’t notify DCF in advance that it had decided to move Mekhi. In a March 20, 2013, email, Melinda Handley, a DCF social work supervisor, wrote that DCF staff didn’t know Mekhi was being placed with Lee before TFI moved him.
Less than a week after Mekhi was taken from his mother and placed with Negretti, Davis began to visit Mekhi at Negretti’s home. A document written by TFI in response to DCF questions following Mekhi’s death outlines how Davis began having more and more contact with Mekhi.
Davis had three supervised visits with Mekhi during July that took place at Negretti’s home. Davis then began unsupervised visits in August, with day visits taking place on Saturdays. He started to pick up Mekhi from preschool and take him to daycare. Once-a-week visits started in September, and Davis looked after the child on some evenings as well.
TFI described what case managers observed on their home visits with Davis beginning in July 2012 through January 2013. Generally, the case managers noted a clean home.
But the regularity of visits didn’t meet standards, the lawsuit alleges. When Mekhi was transferred from Negretti’s custody to Davis’ custody, the transfer wasn’t facilitated by either DCF or TFI. Instead, according to the TFI document, Davis picked up Mekhi from Negretti’s home on the date he was placed with his father.
In addition, TFI said the first visit to see Mekhi following reintegration came on Nov. 28, more than two weeks after the transfer of custody. State regulations, however, require the supervising worker to visit the child biweekly during the first three months of placement and then monthly afterward.
On a Dec. 27 visit, a worker noticed Mekhi had two black eyes and a big bump on his head. Davis had contacted TFI before the visit, saying the child had fallen into the arm of a futon while playing at his grandmother’s home and that he had taken Mekhi to the doctor.
TFI said in the document that Negretti confirmed to them through informal conversation that Mekhi fell on the futon, but the conversation was never formally documented. During a Jan. 18 visit, the worker noted Mekhi’s bruises had disappeared, with no other bruising noted on his body.
But while the TFI employees saw an apparently benign injury, Mekhi’s preschool teacher had noticed signs of physical abuse — not accidental injury — a month earlier.
In a note dated Nov. 26, 2012, an educator at Brown County Special Education Interlocal 615 wrote that several bruises and red marks could be seen on Mekhi’s stomach. The educator asked Mekhi what had happened, but he didn’t say anything.
When the school nurse examined him, Mekhi said he had fallen at home in the grass in the backyard. When asked how he fell, he said he was on the roof and jumped off.
Later that day, though, Mekhi opened up — saying that he hated living with his father and that Davis had slapped him.
“He then showed them his stomach. When asked why he said it’s when he gets in trouble and has to stand by the wall and then he said he gets slapped all over,” the teacher wrote.
Documents from the school also note about two weeks prior to Mekhi’s comments, he had bruises on both of his temples.
Mekhi’s bruises and his comments were reported to the Kansas Intake/Investigation Protection System — a DCF hotline, documents show. According to the lawsuit, DCF employee Debra Adcock conducted an investigation into the hotline call.
The lawsuit alleges Adcock’s investigation didn’t find the same risks associated with Davis that Petry noted in July 2012. DCF concluded that there was a “low risk” of abuse or neglect and that the risk was “controlled.”
“The second risk assessment contained no explanation for the conclusion that the risk to M.B.’s safety was deemed ‘low’ for abuse after M.B. had been placed with Mr. Davis, who DCF had previously determined was not a placement option for M.B. because of Mr. Davis’ background of domestic violence against M.B. and others,” the lawsuit reads.
According to the lawsuit, Adcock’s investigation lasted from Nov. 26, 2012, to Jan. 10, 2013. During that time, Adcock visited Mekhi once face-to-face. The lawsuit alleged Adcock didn’t interview the individual who made the hotline call, nor did she interview anyone who was at Mekhi’s school that day.
The lawsuit says Adcock determined the allegations were unsubstantiated and closed the investigation.
Further, the lawsuit says Adcock told TFI about the hotline call on Nov. 26. TFI indicated it would pay special attention to Mekhi, but that it had no concern about Mekhi being in the Davis home.
The lawsuit also alleges DCF didn’t meet with Mekhi while he was living with Davis, despite an obligation to make contact with the family at least once every 30 calendar days to evaluate risk and safety factors, according to DCF regulations.
No one, either from TFI or DCF, visited Mekhi after Jan. 13, 2013, the lawsuit says.
The worst ever seen
After a little less than two months without any contact from the state or TFI, Mekhi’s situation changed suddenly.
Davis brought Mekhi to the Hiawatha hospital on March 3, 2013. Mekhi was unresponsive. Davis said the child had fallen down 30 stairs.
According to the lawsuit, Davis spoke of behavior problems with the boy. Hospital staff who removed Mekhi’s clothing saw bruising and abrasions all over his body in various stages of healing.
Mekhi had multiple injuries, including internal bleeding and bleeding on the brain. He was taken by helicopter to Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo.
At Children’s Mercy, doctors diagnosed Mekhi with severe traumatic brain injury secondary to child abuse, a skull fracture, mid-line shift of the brain and multiple bruises. The diagnosis didn’t match the explanation Davis had provided.
“Children’s Mercy personnel including a medical doctor who had observed approximately 15,000 victims of child abuse, described (Mekhi’s) injuries as the worst ever seen for a child that age, and that there was not two inches of (Mekhi’s) body that did not have bruising on it,” the lawsuit reads.
On March 4, Petry — the DCF worker who had told TFI in July 2012 that Davis wasn’t a placement option — visited Mekhi in the hospital. She wrote in her case activity log that Mekhi had been “beat to death.” She noted Mekhi showed signs of sexual abuse as well.
“After midnight test brain activity and they will pronounce him dead if nothing has changed,” Petry wrote.
The test came and went. At 2:35 p.m. on March 5, Mekhi was pronounced dead.
Davis and his girlfriend, Janice Summerford, were charged with murder. Davis was sentenced to nearly 20 years in prison in July 2013. In August 2014, Summerford entered an Alford Plea — acknowledging enough evidence exists to convict her but not admitting guilt, the Sabetha Herald reported at the time.
Though a DCF employee was present at the time of Mekhi's death, and multiple DCF employees visited Mekhi in the hospital, the lawsuit alleges no one from TFI visited Mekhi in the hospital.
Further, the lawsuit alleges Mekhi died without his family. “Naomi Boone was not allowed to visit her son, (Mekhi), before his death while he was hospitalized at Children’s Mercy Hospital. (Mekhi’s) family were not allowed to see or visit (Mekhi) while he was being treated at Children’s Mercy,” the lawsuit reads.
“(Mekhi) died without his mother or family present.”
Ongoing litigation
Naomi Boone filed her lawsuit against TFI and DCF on Oct. 27, 2014. The lawsuit, which totals more than 100 pages with attached emails and reports, appears to have drawn little outside attention since.
The lawsuit was listed, however, in a budget document given to lawmakers Monday. The document indicates DCF was served with the lawsuit in December and filed an answer in January. However, federal court records show DCF was served on Oct. 31 and that TFI was served on Nov. 6.
Boone’s attorney, Michaela Shelton, of Overland Park, said she would potentially be willing to speak to The Topeka Capital-Journal, but as of Tuesday afternoon hadn’t agreed to an interview.
Approached for comment, DCF spokeswoman Theresa Freed sent a short statement that indicated one employee was fired.
“The loss of any child is a tragedy. We are deeply saddened that this little boy suffered an unthinkable death. It is always our top priority to ensure the safety of children. DCF has carefully reviewed this case and taken appropriate action, including the termination of an employee,” Freed said.
Questions directed at TFI spokeswoman Sara Hadaway were forwarded to the Kansas City, Mo., law firm Franke, Schultz & Mullen.
“Our firm is counsel of record for TFI. We would request that any further inquiries be directed to our office. It is TFI’s policy not to comment on pending litigation. Thank you for reaching out for comment before going to print,” attorney Derek Johannsen said in an email.
TFI has drawn scrutiny for past incidents. In the 2011 death of a Topeka baby, the child's grandmother said she had filed a report with TFI prior to the death raising concerns about injuries.
This past summer, TFI also attracted attention after a 10-month-old girl who had been placed into a foster home by TFI died in a hot car in Wichita. DCF temporarily suspended further foster placements by TFI but later lifted the restriction after a review of its foster homes found no serious safety concerns.
Although TFI lost its state contract in 2013, it still works as a subcontractor.
DCF and TFI both answered the lawsuit in Dec. 9 court filings, a month prior to what DCF indicated to lawmakers. In its answer, DCF seeks to distance itself from the incident and says it had no connection to Mekhi’s death.
“These answering Defendants would affirmatively assert there is no causal connection between these answering Defendants’ conduct and the death of (Mekhi), the constitutional deprivations claims by Plaintiffs, and the other injuries and damages claimed by Plaintiffs,” DCF’s legal answer reads.
Boone’s lawsuit argues her son’s due process rights were violated, a claim that also drew a response from DCF.
“These answering Defendants affirmatively assert that the Due Process Clause of the U.S. Constitution does not require these answering Defendants to protect its citizens from private violence,” the answer reads.
TFI in its answer denies the plaintiff sustained any damage. The company suggests that if any fault is found, it should be shared with DCF as well.
According to an online court docket, the next step in the lawsuit is a scheduling conference set for Monday.

Father, adult son arrested for child pornography (Caledonia, Michigan)
Why children don't "need" a father, and may in fact be better off without contact.
Dad is identified as TIMOTHY ROBERT GUILFOYLE.

Dad, son charged in Kent County child pornography case
John Hogan, WZZM 6:36 p.m. EST January 7, 2015
CALEDONIA, Mich. (WZZM) – For more than three years, a Kent County man has been under investigation for trading child pornography, based on computer activity monitored by Homeland Security investigators.
Agents say the account holder, 65-year-old Timothy Robert Guilfoyle, was in cahoots with his 21-year-old son, Sean Michael Guilfoyle.
The pair this week were ordered to stand trial on child sexually abusive activity that could put them behind bars for 20 years. #Sean Guilfoyle may have it worse than his father: he pleaded guilty last fall to child pornography charges stemming from a separate investigation in Caledonia.
He's scheduled to be sentenced next week in Kent County Circuit Court for child sexually abusive commercial activity. Investigators say he posted to Facebook a topless image of a 16-year-old. The girl used to date his brother's girlfriend, court records show.
The younger Guilfoyle told the teen he was battling an addiction to child pornography, court records show. After his October arrest, Kent County detectives found at his Caledonia home several thumb drives containing images of naked children and children engaged in sex acts, court records show.
Timothy Guilfoyle, who lives on Grand Rapids' northwest side, has been under investigation since Aug. 2011, when Homeland Security agents signed into an undercover account and discovered child porn being offered by a subject with the screen name Windsage22.
The user was sharing more than 262 images of child pornography, court records show. The account was later linked to the Guilfoyles.
Father and son admitted to downloading, viewing and sharing child pornography on the Internet, according to a probable cause affidavit in Kent County Circuit Court.
Timothy Guilfoyle was arrested Dec. 23 and charged with four counts of child sexually abusive criminal activity and four counts of using a computer to commit a crime. The offenses are punishable by 20 years in prison. He's being held in the Kent County Jail on a $25,000 bond.
Sean Guilfoyle is charged with one count of each offense. He's been in the Kent County Jail since October, when he was arrested in the case involving the 16-year-old victim.

A 66-year-old Belfast man has gone on trial accused of indecently assaulting his teenage son on numerous occasions
By Ashleigh McDonald – 08 July 2014
A 66-year-old Belfast man has gone on trial accused of indecently assaulting his teenage son on numerous occasions when he came home from drinking at a pub.
The abuse allegedly occurred over a period spanning November 1993 to November 1995 when the son was aged 13 and 14. Belfast Crown Court yesterday heard the abuse took place "on at least 20 occasions".
Opening the Crown case against the accused – who cannot be named to protect the identity of his son – prosecutor Tessa Kitson told a jury the incidents occurred after his mother and father came home from the pub on a Friday night.
When the defendant came home, he would bring his son into his bedroom and lie on the bed while the teenager removed his father's boots and trousers. The defendant would then take his underpants off and get his son to touch him.
The accused was charged with three counts of indecently assaulting a child, but denied his son's allegations. He told police the claims of abuse were made shortly after a family argument. The trial continues.

Two arrests in child abuse probe
By The Record
May 29, 2014 12:00 AM
STOCKTON - A man and a woman were arrested Tuesday in south Stockton after a child-abuse investigation also turned up evidence of prostitution, authorities said.
The investigation began when an emergency room nurse contacted the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office on Monday to report a severe case of child abuse involving a 10-year-old boy, officials said. On Tuesday, detectives from the Sheriff's Office learned the victim's 8-year-old brother had also been abused, authorities said.
Investigators served a search warrant in the 2800 block of South El Dorado Street, where they uncovered evidence of pimping and prostitution, said Deputy Les Garcia, a spokesman for the Sheriff's Office.
John Baxter, 31, the father of the two boys, was arrested on suspicion of child abuse, child endangerment, pimping and pandering, and conspiracy, authorities said. Ashley Johnson, 25, who is not related to the child-abuse victims, was arrested on suspicion of pimping and pandering and conspiracy, officials said.

Mom tries to keep son safe after dad's sexual abuse (South Bend, Indiana)
So sad, and yet to typical of the coddling that abuser dad get from the system. Mom was relatively lucky in that UNNAMED DAD seemed to tire of fighting for custody/visitation, and finally wandered off--at least for now. Too many moms are not so lucky.

Mother tries to keep son safe after father’s abuse
Posted: Sunday, August 4, 2013 7:00 am | Updated: 7:41 am, Sun Aug 4, 2013.
VIRGINIA BLACK South Bend Tribune
Posted on August 4, 2013
From the time Amy's son could speak, the worried boy would tell her, "Mom, the bogeyman's gonna get me!"
No, the Plymouth mother would reassure him, there's no bogeyman.
But the boy held on to his fears, which seemed to grow as he did.
When anyone pulled the toddler's pants down to change a diaper, he would quickly pull them back up. Bedtime featured terrible nightmares and, too often, a wet bed.
Other signs of trouble later emerged, Amy says now.
The boy’s father called Amy several times because his son had hit him in the gut, in the nose, in the genitals. The angry man would put the boy on the phone.
'I'd say, ‘Don't hit your dad,' and he'd be mad, but he'd say, ‘OK, Mom,’ " Amy says. "They fought like kids."
The boy began to refuse to spend time with his father, which Amy and her attorney attributed to his father's frequent bouts with drinking, which the boy openly discussed. That was despite the fact the father routinely bought his son expensive toys and treated him to Chuck E Cheese every weekend.
Court records describe how the boy would punch his Winnie the Pooh and say, "I'm killing my dad!"
Everything changed when the child turned 5. Amy re-members that moment in the kitchen, her son’s head slowly swiveling as he studied every corner.
'"Mom, there's no cameras in here. My dad can't see me,"' he told his mother. "It was like everything was becoming clear to him. You could just see it happening. The longer I kept him away, the more he was figuring stuff out,” his mother said.
They were standing near the sink when the dam that had been restraining the boy's emotions finally broke.
"He goes, 'Remember when you said that nobody could touch my privates?' I said, ‘Yeah.’
“And he goes, 'Well, my dad does it all the time. And when I punch him like you told me, you yell at me.' And then I knew," Amy says, describing how the two hugged each other, crying, as they sunk to the floor.
"I just apologized to him over and over again, 'I'm so sorry, I'm just so sorry.'. ... And he said, 'Mom, you didn't know. My dad lies a lot."
His father boasted that he could see his son at all times, the boy said, and he threatened to hurt him and the rest of the family if he ever told what happened when the two were alone.
Amy sobs at the memory, even now. "I just didn't know. I knew something was bad, but I didn't know."
‘He wanted me to be scared’
Amy and her son's father had not married, but he had immediately offered to support the boy and be a part of his life since he was born 11 years ago.
He was a hard worker, read the Bible, "was like an old Southern guy," Amy says of her son’s father. He would often come for dinner and spend time with her two other children from her earlier marriage.
Amy developed a condition much like Parkinson's, related to her job as a welder, and eventually went on dis-ability. When she was first having bouts of ill health, he was generous in providing for his son.
But after Amy reported the boy's revelations and a counselor confirmed the abuse, the Department of Child Services opened a case.
Because the abuse allegedly happened at the father's apartment in St. Joseph County, that was where the case was handled. A detective interviewed the father and reported to Amy the man “loves his son."
A letter from a deputy prosecutor on Jan. 9, 2009, broke the news that no charges would be filed.
"My decision not to charge does not necessarily mean that I do not believe the events described ... did not happen," she wrote. "Rather, I am concerned with initiating a lengthy, at times, distressing process that is unlikely to result in a conviction."
Meanwhile, the boy was opening up more to his DCS-assigned therapist.
The boy "disclosed that his father 'pulls my private parts' (while pointing to his penis) while they are 'in bed,' " she wrote in a July 24, 2007, letter to DCS.
In October 2008, the therapist reported the boy described his father tying him to a chair and forcing him to repeatedly watch scary movies, especially the "Chuckie" and "Friday the 13th" movies. Jason, the hockey mask-wearing villain of the "Friday the 13th" films, was the "bogeyman" the boy was most afraid of.
"Daddy made me watch it," the therapist quoted the boy. "He wanted me to be scared."
Who was lying?
A judge approved the DCS plan to continue treatment for the boy and his mother and to deny visitation with his father until he admitted what he'd done, apologized to his son and underwent parenting classes and treatment.
In a six-month review on June 20, 2008, a DCS case manager wrote, the man "does very little participation and he is still in denial about his drinking and that he inappropriately touched his son."
Amy says her son was beginning to work through his fear and anger when suddenly the boy's father hired another attorney who took a more aggressive approach. Then DCS, whose employees seemed as if they were in the boy's corner, did an about-face.
All of a sudden, possibly because of a state-mandated time frame for open cases, authorities wanted to close the case and reunite the boy and his father, first with supervised visits.
The DCS-contracted therapist, who the boy had learned to trust, objected to the move, saying the boy wasn't ready. She was pulled from the case, documents show.
The boy “reacted with extreme emotionality upon hearing he would have to visit his father," the new therapist wrote in a December 2009 report. He "has made disclosures to this therapist and his previous therapist as well. ... He qualifies for a (diagnosis) of PTSD."
Meanwhile, the court battle intensified. Both parents were ordered to take polygraphs. Despite the shaking of her hands because of her disability, a report confirms Amy passed hers. Her child’s father never turned one in, she says.
A CASA — Court Appointed Special Advocate — was ultimately appointed to try to sort out whether Amy was putting her son up to the allegations against his father.
The CASA described his impressions about the boy and his family in a subsequent 2009 report to the judge.
"This CASA was left with the impression that (the boy) was truthful and very intimidated by his father," he wrote.
He wrote of also meeting with the boy's father, who seemed to love his son but was full of anger and denial.
"This CASA understands the reason ... (for) visitation," he wrote, adding his opinion was "visitation should not begin at this time."
‘They had a job to do’
Yet Amy says she was told by a DCS case manager and her attorney that if she did not agree to the supervised visitation, her son would be taken from her and placed in foster care.
She says they told her son, "You just need to get over it. You need to see your dad. You're just going to make your dad feel bad."
During visitations supervised by a third party, according to a therapist's report, the man gave the boy money and toys, asked him to change into new pants he had brought for him, and winked at him.
But abruptly, after one visitation, the boy's father left town, Amy says.
The man sends letters and checks occasionally, and Amy and her son both worry about what will happen if he shows up again to claim his parenting rights.
"All I can figure is he was trying to get the heck out of there," Amy says. "Something else must have been going on."
But she and her children have picked up the pieces. The now-11-year-old boy, tan with summertime and the sports he loves, is charming and calm when talking about the ordeal.
"We were one wounded family," Amy says. "My kids learned subject matter they should not have even known existed yet."
The boy’s sister, nearly 15, recalls that her brother often took his anger out on her, and as recently as a year ago still refused to so much as spend the night at a friend’s house.
“You can see he’s a happy boy again,” she says, “and he’s not as scared. I know he’ll be OK.”
Amy had been fighting her disease, sometimes in a wheelchair, during the years of fighting for her son. She’s spent her life's savings on attorneys and other costs, she says.
She's disillusioned about a system that meant she couldn't speak out for her son for fear of being accused of filling him full of lies. “They have to listen to the children more,” she says.
And she's appalled that the costs involved with the lingering case might have spurred authorities to move so abruptly to close it. "They could have stood up for my son," Amy says.
"They had a job to do. That's all it boils down to.”

Mother tries to keep son safe after father’s abuse
Posted: Sunday, August 4, 2013 7:00 am | Updated: 7:41 am, Sun Aug 4, 2013.
VIRGINIA BLACK South Bend Tribune
Posted on August 4, 2013
From the time Amy's son could speak, the worried boy would tell her, "Mom, the bogeyman's gonna get me!"
No, the Plymouth mother would reassure him, there's no bogeyman.
But the boy held on to his fears, which seemed to grow as he did.
When anyone pulled the toddler's pants down to change a diaper, he would quickly pull them back up. Bedtime featured terrible nightmares and, too often, a wet bed.
Other signs of trouble later emerged, Amy says now.
The boy’s father called Amy several times because his son had hit him in the gut, in the nose, in the genitals. The angry man would put the boy on the phone.
'I'd say, ‘Don't hit your dad,' and he'd be mad, but he'd say, ‘OK, Mom,’ " Amy says. "They fought like kids."
The boy began to refuse to spend time with his father, which Amy and her attorney attributed to his father's frequent bouts with drinking, which the boy openly discussed. That was despite the fact the father routinely bought his son expensive toys and treated him to Chuck E Cheese every weekend.
Court records describe how the boy would punch his Winnie the Pooh and say, "I'm killing my dad!"
Everything changed when the child turned 5. Amy re-members that moment in the kitchen, her son’s head slowly swiveling as he studied every corner.
'"Mom, there's no cameras in here. My dad can't see me,"' he told his mother. "It was like everything was becoming clear to him. You could just see it happening. The longer I kept him away, the more he was figuring stuff out,” his mother said.
They were standing near the sink when the dam that had been restraining the boy's emotions finally broke.
"He goes, 'Remember when you said that nobody could touch my privates?' I said, ‘Yeah.’
“And he goes, 'Well, my dad does it all the time. And when I punch him like you told me, you yell at me.' And then I knew," Amy says, describing how the two hugged each other, crying, as they sunk to the floor.
"I just apologized to him over and over again, 'I'm so sorry, I'm just so sorry.'. ... And he said, 'Mom, you didn't know. My dad lies a lot."
His father boasted that he could see his son at all times, the boy said, and he threatened to hurt him and the rest of the family if he ever told what happened when the two were alone.
Amy sobs at the memory, even now. "I just didn't know. I knew something was bad, but I didn't know."
‘He wanted me to be scared’
Amy and her son's father had not married, but he had immediately offered to support the boy and be a part of his life since he was born 11 years ago.
He was a hard worker, read the Bible, "was like an old Southern guy," Amy says of her son’s father. He would often come for dinner and spend time with her two other children from her earlier marriage.
Amy developed a condition much like Parkinson's, related to her job as a welder, and eventually went on dis-ability. When she was first having bouts of ill health, he was generous in providing for his son.
But after Amy reported the boy's revelations and a counselor confirmed the abuse, the Department of Child Services opened a case.
Because the abuse allegedly happened at the father's apartment in St. Joseph County, that was where the case was handled. A detective interviewed the father and reported to Amy the man “loves his son."
A letter from a deputy prosecutor on Jan. 9, 2009, broke the news that no charges would be filed.
"My decision not to charge does not necessarily mean that I do not believe the events described ... did not happen," she wrote. "Rather, I am concerned with initiating a lengthy, at times, distressing process that is unlikely to result in a conviction."
Meanwhile, the boy was opening up more to his DCS-assigned therapist.
The boy "disclosed that his father 'pulls my private parts' (while pointing to his penis) while they are 'in bed,' " she wrote in a July 24, 2007, letter to DCS.
In October 2008, the therapist reported the boy described his father tying him to a chair and forcing him to repeatedly watch scary movies, especially the "Chuckie" and "Friday the 13th" movies. Jason, the hockey mask-wearing villain of the "Friday the 13th" films, was the "bogeyman" the boy was most afraid of.
"Daddy made me watch it," the therapist quoted the boy. "He wanted me to be scared."
Who was lying?
A judge approved the DCS plan to continue treatment for the boy and his mother and to deny visitation with his father until he admitted what he'd done, apologized to his son and underwent parenting classes and treatment.
In a six-month review on June 20, 2008, a DCS case manager wrote, the man "does very little participation and he is still in denial about his drinking and that he inappropriately touched his son."
Amy says her son was beginning to work through his fear and anger when suddenly the boy's father hired another attorney who took a more aggressive approach. Then DCS, whose employees seemed as if they were in the boy's corner, did an about-face.
All of a sudden, possibly because of a state-mandated time frame for open cases, authorities wanted to close the case and reunite the boy and his father, first with supervised visits.
The DCS-contracted therapist, who the boy had learned to trust, objected to the move, saying the boy wasn't ready. She was pulled from the case, documents show.
The boy “reacted with extreme emotionality upon hearing he would have to visit his father," the new therapist wrote in a December 2009 report. He "has made disclosures to this therapist and his previous therapist as well. ... He qualifies for a (diagnosis) of PTSD."
Meanwhile, the court battle intensified. Both parents were ordered to take polygraphs. Despite the shaking of her hands because of her disability, a report confirms Amy passed hers. Her child’s father never turned one in, she says.

Rapist dad jailed for 22 years (United Kingdom)
UNNAMED DAD was a systematic predator who raped and sexually abused his son and his stepdaughter FOR TEN YEARS or more. No mention of either mother in the home. Were they there? Or driven elsewhere?

Devon sex abuse father jailed for 22 years
A father who subjected two children to a decade of sexual abuse has been jailed for 22 years.
The man, 68, who cannot be named for legal reasons, groomed his son and stepdaughter from the ages of seven and four, the court heard. He was convicted of 15 charges, including two rapes.
Exeter Crown Court heard he terrified them with his drunken violent temper so much they stayed silent for 40 years.
The judge said it was one of the worst child abuse cases he had encountered.
The man committed the abuse while living in the Teignbridge area in the 1970s.
Cigarette packet code
During a week-long trial the jury heard how he made the two children sit naked on either side of his armchair while he forced them to touch him.
The court heard he groomed them by asking them to massage his sore back but then made ever increasing sexual demands.
He devised a code in which he left instructions to his stepdaughter in a cigarette packet detailing what sexual services he wanted her to perform.
The man had denied two rapes, another serious sexual offence, and six offences of indecency with the girl dating from the ages of four to 14. He had also denied six offences of indecency with his own son when the boy was aged between seven and 14.
He was found guilty of all counts and jailed for a total of 22 years, 15 years for his abuse of the girl and seven years for the abuse of the boy.
Judge Phillip Wassall said:"You began a serial and serious abuse of these two children.
"This is one of the worst cases of its sort I have ever seen. It was a dreadful catalogue of abuse which has had a significant effect on the victims."
Referring to one occasion on which the man had "interfered" with the children, the judge said: "In you own defence you said you did this on the instructions of a doctor. It was an extraordinary suggestion which I reject completely."

Dad gets 88 years to life for molesting his kids (Denver, Colorado)
Dad DAVID TARVER is a puke.
http://blogs.westword.com/latestword/2012/03/david_tarver_molesting_children_life_sentence.php
David Tarver gets 88 years to life for molesting his own children -- and more
By Michael Roberts
Wed., Mar. 7 2012 at 5:44 AM
David Tarver has admittedly been molesting children -- most prominently his own -- since the late 1980s, at least.
Fortunately, that will stop, thanks to a just-imposed sentence of 88 years to life in prison. But no doubt the horrible offenses detailed in the arrest affidavit will linger for a lifetime.
The end of Tarver's terrifying reign can be traced to February 2010, when his 25-year-old daughter went to authorities in Denver about Tarver, known as Russ -- a shortened version of his middle name. She told an officer that he had been arrested for sexually assaulting one of his grandchildren in Wyoming. But she said this was hardly an isolated incident, and she wanted the sort of abuse that she and her siblings suffered at his hands to end once and for all.
Her first memory of being molested by her father took place when she was four-years old; the family was living in Texas at the time. As she recalled, he grabbed the back of her head and forced her to perform oral sex on him.
More incidents like this occurred over the years that followed, she said, including a rape that took place when she was twelve -- he subsequently begged her not to tell her mother what happened by offering her candy -- and an interrupted sleepover at age sixteen, after she had run away. After Tarver made rude comments about her and a friend she'd brought along with her, she went to her bedroom to lay down. A short time later, Tarver entered and began fondling her breasts. She responded by saying "I hate you" and punching him. The exchange was so loud that her mother heard, but according to the daughter, her mom assumed they were simply arguing.
From there, officers went to Tarver's youngest child, a boy. His molestations began early, too, with one incident of forced oral sex ending when the boy, then a third-grader, said he could no longer breathe. After the child told his father he didn't want to participate in such activities again, Tarver responded by smacking him.
Tarver's third child was victimized as well. He detailed thirteen incidents of sexual abuse, most of them taking place in Denver.
What did Tarver have to say about these reports? During an interview with cops, he didn't dispute the allegations. In fact, he said that he generally would abuse his kids on a weekly basis. And while he couldn't remember many of the details, he did confirm that in one instance, a daughter choked during oral sex, for which he said he was sorry afterward.
He clearly owes a helluva lot more apologies than that. Tarver will begin serving time for his crimes in Wyoming, where he was also convicted of abusing that grandchild. His sentence is officially considered indeterminate, meaning he shouldn't get a chance to molest another youngster again.

Dad found guilty of raping sons during weekend visitations (United Kingdom)
But just 12 years in prison for UNNAMED DAD.

You have blighted your children's lives, judge tells rapist father
Tuesday, April 23, 2013
Leicester Mercury
A father who repeatedly raped one son and sexually abused another has been jailed for 12 years.
The 57-year-old, from Loughborough, began molesting the boys after splitting up with their mother in the mid 1990s.
The abuse happened when the boys were staying at his home, often during weekend visits.
Jacqueline Matthew-Stroud, prosecuting, told Leicester Crown Court the eldest child was subjected to sexual assaults from the age of 12 until he was 17.
The youngest was abused when he was between six and seven.
Their father, who cannot be named to protect the victims' identities, pleaded guilty to four specimen counts of rape, involving 20 to 30 incidents, as well as one count of gross indecency and two indecent assaults upon the eldest son.
He admitted two counts of indecent assault upon the youngest child. Mrs Matthew-Stroud said the defendant ignored his elder son's protests.
Judge Philip Head told the defendant: "Your eldest son didn't know what to do in response to what his own father was doing.
"He had to reach the age of 17 before he had the robustness to put a stop to it."
The court heard the youngest boy stopped visiting his father from the age of eight to avoid further incidents.
Judge Head said: "Your sons are the victims of a gross betrayal of parental trust. You have blighted the entirety of their lives in the gravest possible way.
"You admit you knew what you were doing was wrong and illegal."
The judge ordered an additional five years be added to the defendant's licence period.
He was placed on a sexual offences prevention order, which included banning him from having unsupervised contact with males under 16.
He will also have to enlist on a sex offenders' register for life.
Sally Bamford, mitigating, said: "He is well aware he is going to receive a substantial jail sentence. His only mitigation is he has pleaded guilty, avoiding the victims the ordeal of giving evidence in court."

Dad gets suspended sentence for exposing himself to 4-year-old son (Malta)
Not too hard to figure out why Mom was separated from UNNAMED DAD. This guy sounds like a total jag-off.

Father exposed himself to his four-year-old son
A father who exposed himself to his four-year-old son was handed a suspended jail term yesterday. She found the version given by the girlfriend to be more credible
They were in the man’s Skoda Forman when, according to his girlfriend, he unzipped his trousers and said to the boy: “Look, when you grow up, you will have one like this.”
The incident happened in April 2009 at the Ta’ Xbiex yacht marina.
He then tried to grope the woman but she rebuffed his advances and told him to stop doing such silly things in the boy’s presence.
Magistrate Audrey Demicoli noted that there were discrepancies in what the witnesses had said with regard to what the child had told his mother about the incident.
Magistrate Demicoli said she found the version given by the girlfriend to be more credible in view of the discrepancies in the witnesses’ testimony when it came to what the boy had said.
She noted that, in its final submissions, the prosecution also seemed to agree with the version given by the girlfriend.
The boy’s parents were going through a separation when, usually, the parties focus on some damaging detail and take full advantage of it, the magistrate said.
Before sentencing, the man’s lawyers requested that his two police statements be removed from the records of the case and not taken into consideration because he did not have access to a lawyer before these were taken.
The magistrate upheld the request and sentenced the man to a 24-month prison term suspended for three years.

Non-custodial dad gets 3 1/2 years for rape of teen son (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada)

Dad gets 3½ years in son's rape
BY HANNAH SPRAY, THE STARPHOENIX
MARCH 21, 2013
Editor's Note: Some readers may find the contents of this story disturbing
A young man who was raped by his own father said he hopes his father will be haunted for the rest of his life.
"What kind of parent would do something so disgusting to his own child?" the young man said Wednesday in Saskatoon provincial court.
"In my eyes, you're a monster and I hope what you did haunts you to your grave."
The 39-year-old father didn't raise his son, but in September 2009, he was attempting to forge a relationship with him, court heard at his sentencing hearing. The father's name is being withheld because of a publication ban protecting his son's identity.
The two of them agreed to break into some cars to get some money. They used the $15 they stole to buy alcohol, then returned to the father's home to drink. The son, who was 15 at the time, became highly intoxicated. He passed out a number of times and at one point, woke up to find his father, naked, on top of him. The boy was also naked, although he didn't remember taking his clothes off.
The dad told the boy he was going to have sex with him and despite the boy's protests, proceeded to do so.
Crown prosecutor Tamara Rock argued for a penitentiary term of three years, noting the father was in a position of trust.
"What's highly disturbing to the Crown is that (the father) puts blame on the victim, saying he initiated this interaction," Rock said.
"It shows a serious lack of understanding ... and judgment." Defence lawyer Linda Wood argued for a sentence of two years, followed by probation, noting the father has a history of mental health issues - including paranoid schizophrenia - and it's important that he's supervised in the community when he's released.
The father immediately admitted his guilt when confronted by police after his son reported the incident and pleaded guilty in court, Wood said.
Judge Doug Agnew noted the starting point for sentences for serious sexual assaults in Saskatchewan is three years - and this assault was the "most invasive" type possible, in addition to the father abusing a position of trust.
He sentenced the father to 3½ years in prison, minus a credit of 50 days for remand time.
The father also must submit a sample of his DNA and must comply with the sex-offender registry for 20 years.

Dad gets 3½ years in son's rape
BY HANNAH SPRAY, THE STARPHOENIX
MARCH 21, 2013
Editor's Note: Some readers may find the contents of this story disturbing
A young man who was raped by his own father said he hopes his father will be haunted for the rest of his life.
"What kind of parent would do something so disgusting to his own child?" the young man said Wednesday in Saskatoon provincial court.
"In my eyes, you're a monster and I hope what you did haunts you to your grave."
The 39-year-old father didn't raise his son, but in September 2009, he was attempting to forge a relationship with him, court heard at his sentencing hearing. The father's name is being withheld because of a publication ban protecting his son's identity.
The two of them agreed to break into some cars to get some money. They used the $15 they stole to buy alcohol, then returned to the father's home to drink. The son, who was 15 at the time, became highly intoxicated. He passed out a number of times and at one point, woke up to find his father, naked, on top of him. The boy was also naked, although he didn't remember taking his clothes off.
The dad told the boy he was going to have sex with him and despite the boy's protests, proceeded to do so.
Crown prosecutor Tamara Rock argued for a penitentiary term of three years, noting the father was in a position of trust.
"What's highly disturbing to the Crown is that (the father) puts blame on the victim, saying he initiated this interaction," Rock said.
"It shows a serious lack of understanding ... and judgment." Defence lawyer Linda Wood argued for a sentence of two years, followed by probation, noting the father has a history of mental health issues - including paranoid schizophrenia - and it's important that he's supervised in the community when he's released.
The father immediately admitted his guilt when confronted by police after his son reported the incident and pleaded guilty in court, Wood said.

Dad rents out infant son to pedophile (New Zealand)
What kind of UNNAMED DAD rents out his infant son to a pedophile?

Bay children abused in paedophile ring
Corey Charlton 6th Feb 2013 8:39 AM
The manipulations of Aaron John Ellmers were a carefully designed betrayal of trust.
He planned and plotted ways to steal children away from their parents so he could abuse them and then trade images of his crimes around the world.
The most sickening breach of trust was his last, he found a father willing to rent out his 13-month-old son for Ellmer's perverse use for $500.
As the 40-year-old paedophile jetted into Christchurch to meet the baby's father, police were waiting. At the Hastings District Court yesterday the Hastings man pleaded guilty to dozens of charges associated with abusing four children, aged 13 months to 13 years.
The father, 27, has been arrested. Also facing charges is an Auckland man who received images of abuse from Ellmers.
The specialist police team which first identified Ellmers (Oceanz - Online Child Exploitation Across New Zealand) has passed on 35 separate sets of details to law enforcement agencies around the world, traced through the illicit online traffic of the men facing charges.
Detective Senior Sergeant John Michael said he hoped it would be enough to stop images of the four Kiwi children Ellmers photographed himself abusing from joining the international traffic in child pornography.
But it could be that the chance to stop the spread of images has gone. "We can identify the first points ... subsequent ones, we won't be able to identify them."
Ellmers was convicted in Australia of raping an 8-year-old boy. Deported in 2008 after 18 months in prison, he later told detectives the prison sex offenders' course gave him new tools which he used to coerce children.
Ellmers wasted no time, according to court documents. In a conversation recorded in a Christchurch motel room in October 2012, as he waited for a baby to abuse, he spoke of a friend's 7-year-old boy to whom he had access since 2008. "He explained that the father trusts him with the boy," the court record said, before detailing awful abuse which had taken place since the boy was 3.
In the same conversation, Ellmers spoke of a 12-year-old victim, who he had abused for three years. He used alcohol, cannabis and payments of $100 a time as tools to engineer the abuse. Another victim, now 15, had also been the subject of abuse for two years.
It took a long time to get a father's trust, Ellmers was recorded saying, detailing how he lurked on children's online chat groups. He detailed how to manipulate children's trust, how the games of childhood could be perverted for a paedophile.
In the case of the 13-month-old he travelled to Christchurch for, the father was no obstacle but an accused fellow abuser he met online. Court documents show police found Ellmers had collected and traded thousands of images and movies of children being abused.
Mr Michael said images of fresh victims were valuable currency in the international sex trade in children.
"There are images out there and movies out there that have been circulated for a long time. What keeps it going is the demand for new material." He said the case showed the extraordinary steps some would take to secure children for abuse.
"If we look at the warning message to parents, it is 'don't be alarmed by this but be alert for suspicious behaviour'."
He accepted Kiwis might be surprised at the existence of domestic victims, as was he when he set the unit up in 2009.
"Everyone had thought it was an overseas phenomenon. But I guess we're like every other Western country."
Judge Bridget Mackintosh sent Ellmers for sentence in the High Court at Napier in May.
The Crown prosecutor, Steve Manning, said the abuse was at the "highest end of child sexual offending in this country".
Only the High Court can impose a sentence of preventive detention.
That would mean Ellmers would be sentenced to a minimum term, and only be released thereafter if authorities were satisfied he no longer represented a significant risk to the public.

Dad, son face separate sexual assault charges (Jaffrey, New Hampshire)
I disagree. I humbly submit that being raised by a rapist daddy has everything to do with Sonny turning out the same way. Funny how we'll give Daddy credit when the son emulates the father in a good way, but deny deny deny that fathers ever teach their son misogyny and violence against women.
The rapist daddy"role model" is identified as JASON CZEKALSKI.

Father and son face separate sex assault charges

The son of a Rindge lawyer accused of sexually assaulting a child in the 1990s was indicted on unrelated sex assault charges.
Luke Czekalski, 26, of Jaffrey is charged with seven counts of aggravated felonious sexual assault on a child.
On Oct. 9, Jaffrey police received a report of a possible sexual assault. After an investigation, police arrested Luke Czekalski on Oct. 30, alleging he sexually assaulted a 6-year-old girl.
It is unclear from court documents how many times the alleged assaults occurred.
An indictment is not an indication of guilt, it is a determination by a grand jury that there is enough evidence to go to trial. Meanwhile, a separate months-long investigation conducted by Rindge and State Police led to the Jan. 25 arrest of Luke Czekalski’s father, Jason A. Czekalski, 51, at his home in Rindge.
Jason Czekalski is charged with one count of aggravated felonious sexual assault and two counts of felonious sexual assault.
Jason Czekalski engaged in a pattern of sexual contact with an 11-year-old child he knew between March 1993 and December 1995, according to court documents. His case has since been forwarded to Cheshire County Superior Court.
Police say the alleged incidents are unrelated.
“Luke’s issues had nothing to do with the father,” Jaffrey Police Chief William J. Oswalt said in an interview.
Both men are being held at the Cheshire County jail in Keene.

Minor raped by dad, brother
Teen suspect confesses to crime

Published Saturday, January 19, 2013
The Rajanganaya Police took into custody a 40-year-old Navy deserter along with his 14-year-old son, for sexually molesting his 10-year-old younger daughter. The father had sexually molested the victim on numerous occasions since 2009, and had allowed his 14-year-old son to molest his sister writes Ceylon Today.
The two arrested suspects were produced before the Thambuththegama Acting Magistrate, Chandrasiri Rajapaksa, on Saturday and were remanded until 22 January.
The child who was subjected to severe sexual molestation was ordered to be placed under the care of the Avanthi Devi Children’s Home in Anuradhapura until 22 January, while the underage suspect had been ordered to be placed at the Abhaya Children’s Home in Anuradhapura by the Acting Magistrate.
According to the Rajanganaya Police, the suspect had been living with his first wife in Nattandiya, Marawila and had been in the habit of sexually molesting his daughter since 2009. Around 1 ½ years ago, the suspect had separated from his first wife and had together with his children gone to live in the Rajanganaya area. He had thereafter married his present wife, who had a child of her own and is also pregnant by the suspect. However, the police stated that they are conducting investigations to determine if the suspect’s second wife had known of the abuse and if she had approved of it.
Meanwhile, the 14-year-old suspect had told police his step-mother on numerous occasions had brought pornographic videos and allowed him to watch them. He had also confessed that while his step-mother was out of the home, he and his father used to sexually molest his little sister.
Following information received by the Rajanganaya Police, the OIC and a group of officers attached to the Women’s and Children’s Unit had brought the victim to the police station and attempted to get the child to make a statement, but she had initially refused. However, when the child was again brought to the police on 11 January and questioned again, she had admitted that she had been molested by her father and older brother on several instances.
The Magistrate ordered the police to subject the child to a medical examination at the Anuradhapura Teaching Hospital and obtain a medical report, and also conduct extensive investigations with regard to the incident.
Further investigations are being conducted by a team of officers attached to the Anuradhapura, Thambuththegama and Rajanganaya Police Stations.

Custodial dad convicted of sodomizing 8-year-old son (Kitwe, Zambia)
You have to read this account carefully in order to find out that this rapist father had custody of his 8-year-old son. These sh**s are all the same. Threaten to kill the victim, then label them crazy when they finally speak up. Of course, not a word of explanation as to how sicko dad AARON BWALYA got custody, but he certainly managed to cut off any regular contact with the protective mother--a very typical thing for pedophiles to do. This is sometimes called "growing your own victims."

Father sodomises 8-year-old son
Written by Online Editor MWILA NTAMBI in Kitwe
A 38-YEAR-OLD man of Ipusukilo in Kitwe has been committed to the High Court for sentencing after being convicted by the Kitwe Magistrate’s Court for sodomising his eight-year-old son.
This is in a case in which Aaron Bwalya of house number 1216, Ipusukilo, is charged with an unnatural offence and assaulting his son, thereby occasioning him actual bodily harm. In the first count, particulars of the offence are that Bwalya on dates unknown but between June 2011 and September 10, 2012 in Kitwe had unlawful carnal knowledge of his eight-year-old son against the order of nature.
On the second count, it is alleged that Bwalya on September 8, 2012 in Kitwe, assaulted his son thereby occasioning him actual bodily harm.
Bwalya denied both counts and the prosecution called five witnesses.
During trial, Bwalya’s former wife, who is the mother of the child, testified that she and Bwalya had two children before they divorced in 2007.
The woman testified that in September 2012, she received information from Bwalya’s brother that her son was very ill and that’s when she went to see him in Ipusukilo.
She recalled that her former landlord broke down when she saw her.
She testified that the landlord told her that what Bwalya had done to the child was very bad and that the child also broke down when he saw his mother.
The woman told the court that her former landlord narrated to her that the child had a big wound on his head because Bwalya had been abusing him.
She recalled that medical staff at a nearby clinic referred her son to Kitwe Central Hospital because the wound could not be stitched as it had started decomposing.
She testified that when she went with the boy to Kalulushi where she resides, she discovered that a stick was stuck to his body as she was trying to bath him.
The woman added that when she removed the stick, the child fell to the ground and that she rushed him to the clinic where he was again referred to Kitwe Central Hospital.
The woman said upon being interviewed by doctors at Kitwe Central Hospital, the child disclosed that Bwalya used to sodomise him and that it was very painful.
She said medical examinations conducted on her son revealed that he had suffered injuries, was malnourished and HIV-positive.
The doctor also recommended psychiatry counselling for the child as he was severely traumatised.
The woman added that the child was in good health at the time he was under her custody.
The boy also testified that he was Bwalya’s son and that he lived with his father.
He testified that one day when Bwalya returned from work, he discovered that he (the boy) had a sore in his eye and demanded to know how it started.
The boy testified that when he told Bwalya that the sore started on its own, he hit him with a plank on the head and that be bled profusely.
He also told the court that after his father cooked nshima on the material day, he began sodomising him.
He said Bwalya sodomised him on several occasions but he did not tell anyone because he threatened to put him in a sack and throw him into the bush if he dared tell anyone.
During cross-examination, the boy broke down because he was disappointed that his father was denying the things he had been doing.
And in defence, Bwalya urged the court to dismiss his son’s testimony as he was allegedly insane.
Delivering judgment, magistrate Maxwell Mainsa said he had no doubt that Bwalya had unlawful carnal knowledge of his biological son.
He said Bwalya’s conduct is unacceptable and he is a danger to society.
Magistrate Mainsa said had it not been for the vigilant neighbour, the child would have died in the house.
“Such conduct should not be tolerated, especially from a parent. There are so many people out there crying to have children and yet some parents have seen it fit to abuse their children,” magistrate Mainsa said.
He said children must be treasured and protected by all.
He said the court is duty-bound to send a strong message to would-be offenders.
He also convicted Bwalya for assaulting his son and sentenced him to seven years imprisonment with hard labour.
He said the unnatural offence charge for which Bwalya stands convicted carries a minimum mandatory sentence of 25 years and is beyond his jurisdiction.
He committed Bwalya to the High Court for sentencing on the first count.
Bwalya did not say anything in mitigation.

Dad and son charged with sexually abusing the same child (Dearborn, Missouri)
This is the crime of Fatherlessness!!! If boys didn't have their daddies, then, uh. Nevermind.

The dad is identified as DARREN PADEN. Congratulations, pal. You taught your son to be as big of a scumbag as you are.

Dearborn Dad and Son Charged with Sexually Abusing the Same Child
Posted on: 11:55 am, January 3, 2013, by Michelle Pekarsky and Tess Koppelman, updated on: 02:19pm, January 3, 2013
DEARBORN, Mo. — A father and son from Dearborn, Mo., are out on bond after they were charged last week with having sex with the same child.
Anthony Paden, 25, and his father, Darren Paden, 50, were released after their $150,000 cash bonds were posted by two different people.
Both Padens are charged with Statutory Sodomy in the 1st degree and Deviate Sexual Intercourse with a person less than 14 years old.
According to court documents, the victim says the abuse began in 2001 when she was 5 years old. She told police that she watched pornographic movies at the elder Paden’s home and was forced to perform sex acts.
The girl says the abuse continued for about eight more years. Then when she was in the 7th grade, she says a school resource officer discussed the topic of sexual abuse and she said she realized then that she was a victim.
According to the probable cause statement, the victim said that Anthony Paden knew about his father’s abuse of her and began forcing her to perform sex acts when he babysat her.
The father and son are scheduled to be back in court on Feb. 15th.
In reality, too many boys and men learn sexually abusive behavior from other men, including their fathers.
The dad is identified as DARREN PADEN. Congratulations, pal. You taught your son to be as big of a scumbag as you are.

Dearborn Dad and Son Charged with Sexually Abusing the Same Child
Posted on: 11:55 am, January 3, 2013, by Michelle Pekarsky and Tess Koppelman, updated on: 02:19pm, January 3, 2013
DEARBORN, Mo. — A father and son from Dearborn, Mo., are out on bond after they were charged last week with having sex with the same child.
Anthony Paden, 25, and his father, Darren Paden, 50, were released after their $150,000 cash bonds were posted by two different people.
Both Padens are charged with Statutory Sodomy in the 1st degree and Deviate Sexual Intercourse with a person less than 14 years old.
According to court documents, the victim says the abuse began in 2001 when she was 5 years old. She told police that she watched pornographic movies at the elder Paden’s home and was forced to perform sex acts.
The girl says the abuse continued for about eight more years. Then when she was in the 7th grade, she says a school resource officer discussed the topic of sexual abuse and she said she realized then that she was a victim.
According to the probable cause statement, the victim said that Anthony Paden knew about his father’s abuse of her and began forcing her to perform sex acts when he babysat her.
The father and son are scheduled to be back in court on Feb. 15th.

TROY, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio adoptive father accused of raping three boys in his care was sentenced Monday to 60 years to life in prison.
Miami County Judge Robert Lindeman followed the terms of an earlier plea agreement for the 40-year-old man. He pleaded guilty to six rape counts and agreed to cooperate with authorities.
The man declined to make a statement in court. The Associated Press isn't naming the man to protect the identities of the children, who were ages 9-12.
His attorney Nick Gounaris (goo-NEHR'-us) says he is pleased the judge accepted the plea deal.
Prosecutor Gary Nasal (NAYZ'-ul) wouldn't comment, citing still pending cases, including the upcoming trial of a man who allegedly raped one of the boys.
The man had been charged with 31 counts of felony rape in Miami County, where he had been caring for the three boys and a girl in his home. Authorities have said the man had adopted all of the children, except for one of the boys, whom he was in the process of adopting.
Miami County prosecutors agreed to drop 25 counts and recommend a sentence of 60 years to life in prison in return for the adoptive father's guilty plea last month to six rape counts. The man could have faced life in prison without the possibility for parole
