Whose Protecting Children from the Protectors
A Washington Post writer, Steve Vogel, issued a report about a 16-year-old boy living in a group home for neglected youths. While under the "protection" of the state the child was allegedly raped by three women, a "substitute teacher and two counselors at the group home." It's not clear if the 'protectors' were acting separately or if they regularly engaged in one big menage a'tois. Mr. Vogel chose to use the term "sexually abused," but I prefer to call it exactly what it is ... rape! The last time I checked, having sex with an underage child is statutory rape ... which is rape, even if the minor gave his consent. Nevertheless, the workers were charged with "sexual abuse of a minor," after police received a tip from a fellow teacher.
According to Vogel's report, the 32-year-old teacher spent alone time with the child in her home where she "had sex with him." Once police began investigating the allegations, they would also discover that the 32-year-old teacher wasn't the only one smitten by the boy. They would later also charge both 38 and 24 year old counselors at the group home with the same crime. I wonder if they knew the others were also involved sexually with the boy or if they were all unaware of the others indiscretions -- my gut tells me they all knew. I am also willing to bet the teen took pride in his sexual conquests which may have contributed to their cover being blown. I can just see the teen walking through the group home bragging to his buddies that he has had this one, and that one, and that one over there too!! Or, who knows, maybe he wanted to see just how many of the "professionals" he could sleep with before either aging out of the system or being returned to his parents.
The website for M.S. Youth Services Group Home, where the three employees worked, claims to provide "a safe, home environment, for abused and neglected boys in need of alternative living." Now THATS what I call alternative living!! Take children from their homes under the guise of protecting them, and throw them into foster or group homes where they are often beaten, molested, raped, and sometimes killed. How long will our government continue to turn a blind eye to the atrocious crimes being committed against children and innocent parents? And most importantly, how long will our government continue to fund this criminal organization?
While our government continues to ignore these crimes, many are left to wonder whose protecting children from the protectors?
