Like you, I understand "normal" sexual expression and the necessity to not over react. But was there not a highly emotional parent who himself claimed to be abused?<br /> <br />Tonya is the mirror opposite when one looks at the profile of a female abuser. The Opposite. Well spoken, intelligent, socially outgoing, highly educated, employed etc... Also, since the report said MOST female abusers abuse boys...WHY was her son not questioned? Because daddy KNEW better.

I'll check in tomorrow afternoon some time.<br /><br /><br />Cyril, you're absolutely right, there are people who are guilty who play the system. There are innocent people who get screwed by the system. There are DA's who play the system to get people who guilty but otherwise a loophole would let them walk. There are DA's who play the system to put away people who they think are guilty who are really innocent. <br /><br />It's an imperfect system created by an imperfect Man. The only REAL justice is that which we receive from our Creator. There are ten basic components to God's law, which can be grouped into two categories 1) Love God with all your heart, and 2) Love your fellow Man as you would love yourself. People who use this or other systems to their own selfish advantage fail that age old tenent that says to love people and use things, and instead love things and use people.<br /><br />The man whose funeral I attended today was a good example of the kind of man who used things and loved people. Like several other members of the Seventh-day Adventist church, he refused to kill when called to serve his country, and so he served as a combat medic. Spending 1942 through 45 in the Pacific, time and again he risked his own life to save the lives of wounded comerads, several times going behind enemy lines to treat and bring back to safety soldiers who otherwise would have died. When he got home after the war he never talked with his family about what he did. His own daughter never knew until just before his passing that he had twice received the bronze star for bravery. That kind of selfless sacrifice is what is lacking in our popular culture today. We recall the saying from the 1990s, "I'd like to be like Mike." That meant that we wanted the praise and attention of people, fame, glory, money, and things. But as Solomon wrote, it is all vanity. Glory is fleeting. But when you do something to help someone else, that establishes a legacy that, while doesn't go into the history books, is far more important than being able to make a dunk from the freethrow line. We have become so absorbed in self gratification that we have lost touch with what it means to be an American--duty, honor, industry, self-reliance, having malace towards none and charity towards all. I've lived in six states, from the Bible Belt to New England to the West, and everywhere I go I see the same thing; self-righteous people who use religion as a means to fulfil their need of feeling like they belong, for self-justification. So few people who claim to be Christians, Jews, Muslims, Mormons, Buddhists, Hindus REALLY practice integrity and selflessness. Take a rock out of a stream and break it open. The rock has been in the streem for thousands of years, and yet there is no water inside of it. God sent us his son more than two thousand years ago, and yet Christ is still not in the hearts of Man, men and women who stand in front of the church and profess good works even. Go to your local mall and see the stores there. it is all vanity, friviality and gluttony. Even in the bookstores you have to go all the way to the back to find the books of any substance.Lamenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286599265273958850.post-36538565367155846402010-05-09T01:27:12.708-04:002010-05-09T01:27:12.708-04:00Lets not forget that accusations can be made anony...Lets not forget that accusations can be made anonymously to CPS (at least in my state).

Between that, and the reported number of cases of child abuse, and the Mondale Act funding issue, it does make me wonder what our world has come too. And yes, children are bombarded with sexual innuendo constantly on television more than ever. So called Family Violence Act charges I have heard of get filed merely when a husband and wife have an argument, start shouting at each other, one of them bumps the other against the wall going up a set of stairs. In fact, the FVA is only supposed to apply when someone actually gets ARRESTED for committing battery, or stalking, or criminal trespass, (vandalism). I've seen cases where a FVA Temporary Restraining ORDER WAS ISSUED WHEN no one was ARRESTED FOR A CRIME. That means a husband and wife are restricted from speaking to each other for a YEAR! Tell me it's not a money machine, I've got a bridge to sell you. Oh, and according to Newton Minow, former FCC chairman, who helped fund PBS (think Sesame Street), he said children spend more time in front of a television than they do in a classroom by the time they are 18. And we wonder why the world is so fucked up.Lookout Spynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286599265273958850.post-11748927139949514842010-05-09T00:03:27.838-04:002010-05-09T00:03:27.838-04:00Part 2

From my experience with my friends, and from what my former girlfriend told me about these kids, it is ROUGH dealing with these issues. One of the two girls whose mother used them as a prostitute is a former girlfriend. Her abusive past is what I believe lead to the eventual breakup. She ended up pregnant and lost custody after beating her kid nearly to death. The hardest thing in the world to do is to break a cycle, any cycle, be it generational abuse, situational depression (being depressed for not having something, and being too depressed to do anything about it), bulemia, et cetera. I'm not a therepist. I'm a teacher. I have seen what I suspect to be the results of children being abused in the classroom. By law, here in Utah, I cannot say or do anything about it other than report suspicions to a guidance counselor. So, if those suspicions held water, I'll never know, because I can be sued if I ever tell anyone else about them. I've been conducting research for my master's in education thesis regarding inappropriate student-teacher relationships. That's how I found out about this case. From my research I can also say that this case is far-and-away the worst-handled one I've seen by those charging a teacher with a crime. So, my interest here isn't to blame the kids, or parents, or media, or anything of the sorts. My initial interest in this was as part of my research of how to prevent cases of teacher perpetrated sex crimes against studnets. However, as I learned more about this my interest has shifted to being, how can one accurately detect a teacher-perpetrated sex crime. Of course, a part of prevention is detecting, because part of my research, the lynchpin really, is identifying key commonalities in these types of crime, red flags so to speak. Then, investigating the roots of those commonalities and exploring methods of avoiding those circumstances. For instance, one commonality I have itentified is spending time alone with the student without a third party present. You would be surprised how many instances of inappropriate behavior could be avoided if it were the policy that no teacher be in a room with a student and have the door locked. Another commonality is either the teacher or student spending time, supervised or not, at either party's place of residence in a non-professional visit. I can list at least 20 cases off the top of my head where either the teacher or the student "hung out" at one or the other's home. That's why when I first looked at this case, it appeared to be cut and dry that she did it, because it hit nearly every commonality that I've thus-far identified. But, that, I now realize is the kind of faulty logic that has the prosecutors making statements like, "Narcicists are child molesters." So, I'm actually shifting my own focus of research now towards using these commonalities to act as a general guideline to show teachers, avoid this and you'll likely not have a problem, and adding an additional component of differentiating a genuine accusation from a false one.<br /><br />So, when I criticize people on the prosecution side here, don't think I'm doing so because I don't believe children, or that things happen to children. Read some of my posts on badbadteacher and interested-participant and other blogs/websites, and you'll see that I'm generally VERY critical of teachers who commit crimes or who put themselves into these positions.<br /><br />End part 2Lamenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286599265273958850.post-3162664467917256292010-05-09T00:03:03.217-04:002010-05-09T00:03:03.217-04:00Part 1

What I am saying here is that knee-jerk reaction to problems does not ever solve problems. Look at the law they passed in Florida after Jessica Lundsford. A horribly tragic case, indeed. But, part of the law they passed to "protect children" makes it so that if there is a break in your employment by the state of more than 24 hours, then you have to be re-fingerprinted in order to work in the dept of education, as a teacher, janitor, whatever. And that's $75 that comes out of your own pocket. Sure, I'm willing to pay a C note even if it keeps people from hurting kids. But, come on! 24 hours? Is someone really going to commit a sex crime, be caught, tried, convicted, sentenced, and registered in just that 24 hours? I was employed by Orange Co Pub Schools during 2006 under a temporary contract for teaching. I had to go all the way through the screening process two days later when I was re-hired. TWO DAYS!!!! Then, in July had to do it again when I moved to Miami to teach. The laws are written in a way that the only people who have a harder time accessing kids are the ones who are actually trying to do them benevolence.<br /><br />While I have not worked with kids who were abused myself, I once dated a woman who did. And, I personally know twelve women and two men who were abused, mostly by parents, aunts, uncles, including two women who were used by their mothers as prostitutes, as young as 7 and 8 years old.<br /><br />End part 1Lamenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286599265273958850.post-90578032425730834612010-05-08T23:52:05.880-04:002010-05-08T23:52:05.880-04:00Dan,

Like I stated in my earlier 3-part post, from my own experience, and from what I have read in published adolescent psychology journals, children sometimes begin engaging in this kind of behavior as young as four and five years of age. I can remember that I had my first crush on a girl when I was five years old--the girl I later ended up getting in trouble with.<br /><br />As for the girls knowing this and that, two points: 1) By the age of seven, I knew pretty much what goes on in sexual intercourse and had even (I can't believe I still remember this) drawn a chart or diagram depicting intercourse, and what happens. I did all this without having yet ever been told a SINGLE thing about sex by my parents or anyone other than talking with neighbor friends who were my age. It was after finding this drawing that my parents finally sat me down and had the "birds and bees" talk; and 2) the parents grilled the girls for hours about this, and during that time they probably did something to the effect "Did this happen to you? Did they touch you there, do that to you, put that in there, did it feel like this or that?" It was more likely the parents who put this into the girls minds than any other thing. Remember, THAT is why COMPETENT investigators tell parents NOT to talk with their kids about these things, and NOT to talk to each other.Lamenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286599265273958850.post-67481283933748468362010-05-08T23:10:42.176-04:002010-05-08T23:10:42.176-04:00Ack, too many "sums!"

I spent too long working with kids who had been abused and now a lot of my time is counseling adults who've gone through pretty wicked stuff. If a reasonable person had talked to the little girl who touched the other little girl, they might have learned something reliable. The showering-shaving weirdness certainly deserves more attention it will likely never get.<br /><br />I'm with all of you on the very disturbing trial and investigation here, but I've also worked with kids over years and found out later that they had been enduring abuse for a long time - abuse I didn't catch - abuse they were wondering when someone would save them from.<br /><br />You're right about the label "abuser." The awful thing is that people rarely prove that they are innocent, they just demonstrate a "reasonable doubt". So they stay out of jail and spend the rest of their lives with a scarlet letter. It's kind of like Mayberry's being stalked by a serial killer and we're trying to protect ourselves by giving an assault rifle to Barney Fife.

I was in the Ft. O Wal-Mart and I really had to go to the bathroom...I drink way to much coffee, anyway I opened the door to what I thought was an empty stall. Surprise there stood a child no more than 7-8 yrs old who had failed to lock the door. She screamed, I screamed and everyone in the bathroom had a look of horror. If something similar were to happen..let's say no other adults were present to witness the accident, lets say an adult walked in in time to hear this child scream with me standing there and her pants down, let's say the police were called, you get my point. I would be in a fight for my life. It could happen to anyone of us and I can promise from this day on I will never use a pubic restroom again, I am afraid to smile @ a child or even look in their direction.

That doesn't mean that there is something criminal going on, it may be more nebulous and fall into one of those categories of whether or not it is "wrong" depends on a person's individual beliefs. <br /><br />Although some adults would rather not think about it or admit it, children do have their own sexuality that they explore on their own varying timeline, and in fact there is nothing inherently "dirty" or unusual about it as long as it is expressed in a healthy manner, its just a normal part of the maturation process. The fact some things are causing nagging doubts with me whether they really are typical child behavior, but just on a much-advanced timeline, makes me wonder what is really going on. But, like many aspects of this story and trial, I'm no expert on the subject so am left with no real answers, just an opinion. I firmly believe that even though I can't quite put my finger on what the dynamic with that one accuser is, it is a major, and so far hidden, piece of the puzzle that caused this situation.dmknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286599265273958850.post-59402085617194916802010-05-08T22:22:46.496-04:002010-05-08T22:22:46.496-04:00To Mommy Dot Com:

So, for dinner my husband and I took them to a local Chinese buffet restaurant. While standing at the buffet with my daughter (she's 8), I noticed a cute little girl on the other side of the buffet. She was just staring at my daughter. She never said anything, she was just watching her. At first, I thought she must be a schoolmate. Then, I thought she looks a lot like the little girl on Sarah Henke Bass' FB page. I'm starting to think I am too obsessed with this case. The little girl had two other girls on either side of her, like bodyguards. My daughter and I move to another buffet table. While standing there, a woman rudely keeps reaching in front of me. I must have given her a look because she finally backed off saying, "Excuse me." I look at her and think to myself, she looks exactly like Sarah Bass Henke in her FB pic. And again, I'm thinking I need to take a break from the internet. The 3 girls walk up and the 2 older girls are doing all of the talking. I hear them call the little girl by name and I know then, it is Tonya's daughter.<br /><br />So, here is my take on the few minutes I observed them. Tonya's daughter has the saddest eyes I have ever seen on a little girl. She is beautiful, but she looks so sad. Someone should have taught Sarah some manners. You don't reach across someone at the buffet. It is rude! Also, she looks like she has painted on eyebrows and is constantly startled. Joal is taller than I expected. He walks with his chest puffed out and he seems to have a corncob stuck up his butt. He is not good looking and he can't pull off that plaid-short look. Also, for someone who used to be a fitness instructor, he needs to get back to the gym. He is starting to get a gut (maybe it's the buffets).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286599265273958850.post-13069704432278439802010-05-08T21:59:08.491-04:002010-05-08T21:59:08.491-04:00Having lived in the same county as this trial for ...Having lived in the same county as this trial for the last 6 yrs, has caused me to become me very, very concerned and a bit paranoid. I am a mother to six children and have children over our home on a regualr basis. Just today I met a little girl at the ball field who wanted to help me out in the concession stand. Because of this trial I felt I was risking my life, my family and everything my husband and I have labored for our entire adult lives by allowing this precious little girl to assist me at the stand - even with other people only feet away. <br /><br />Is this how the prosection wants mothers of this community to feel? Is this how they want their own wives to feel? <br /><br />Because SO MUCH is a stake when someone is prosecuted for such a crime as sexual abuse against a child, solid evidence must be mandatory! And no one feels there is any solid evidence. That's why there is so much pity for Tonya and anger towards the judical system of Catoosa county. <br /><br />Obviously, in this community all it takes is an accusation for a life to be ruined. An accusation, a lot of talk, and a big dose of pride from the local "professionals" (what a joke). <br /><br />I am shocked and angered that our judical system does not seem committed to protect the caretakers of this community. I need to know that I would never be pursued by prosecutors without SOLID evidence. I need to know that solid evidence matters to them.<br /><br />Ironically, the prosecutors or judge didn't care if they truly had a solid case. They have run a woman through the mud and destroyed her life and the lives of her children. Now their lives will be destoyed b/c no one in the community or nation has the least bit of respect for them and everyone wants to see justice. And justice is removal from their positions. Now I pity their children.Kara Akinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14183707916550822861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-286599265273958850.post-65826380353819641352010-05-08T21:24:47.989-04:002010-05-08T21:24:47.989-04:00Bill, You may want to take a look at this paper wr...Bill, You may want to take a look at this paper written by former Georgia senator, Nancy Schaefer,THE CORRUPT BUSINESS OF CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES November 16, 2007. http://fightcps.com/2008/02/29/report-of-georgia-senator-nancy-schaefer-on-cps-corruption/<br /><br />An excerpt: <br /><br />that caseworkers and social workers are oftentimes guilty of fraud. They withhold<br />evidence. They fabricate evidence and they seek to terminate parental rights.<br />However, when charges are made against them, the charges are ignored;<br />· that the separation of families is growing as a business because local governments have<br />grown accustomed to having taxpayer dollars to balance their ever-expanding budgets;<br />· that Child Protective Service and Juvenile Court can always hide behind a<br />confidentiality clause in order to protect their decisions and keep the funds flowing.<br />There should be open records and “court watches”! Look who is being paid!<br />- 4 -<br />There are state employees, lawyers, court investigators, court personnel, and judges.<br />There are psychologists, and psychiatrists, counselors, caseworkers, therapists, foster<br />parents, adoptive parents, and on and on. All are looking to the children in state<br />custody to provide job security. Parents do not realize that social workers are the glue<br />that holds “the system” together that funds the court, the child’s attorney, and the<br />multiple other jobs including DFCS’s attorney.<br /><br />Here is a speech she gave on the subject<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbSRDjcuirI&feature=related <br /><br />She and her husband were recently found dead in their home. It was declared a murder - suicide, but many skeptics believe they were murdered because of her strong stance and activities against CPS. <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4w_IOnQanIs<br /><br />http://www.ajc.com/news/what-really-took-2-430563.htmlVictorianoreply@blogger.com
