How horrible for the little boy.
Notice how CPS routinely violates its own rules.
Maybe the 7yo could have been placed with family, where at least, he might not have been SEXUALLY ***AULTED.
Why doesn't DHS, DHHS look for some family member?

Suzy asked: In some states under 5 yo CANNOT BE PLACED IN A GROUP HOME.
However, US policy states KIDS SHOULD BE PLACED WITH FAMILY FIRST.
Notoriously violated. Especially with poorer, inarticulate families.

Sexually ***ualted? I always have trouble wondering about the specifics.
Could it be that these boys were doing nothing more than playing grab-***.
Could it be these boys were not even naked? Perhaps they may have 'pants' the kid but even then to call such games a 'sexual ***ualt' is a bit much.
Certainly I don't know the specifics but I'm not going to join a group of dunderheads to immediately think or beleive the worse. Isn't it possible the younger kid was really making a pest of himself and the boys somehow evened the score.
I also note that the writer seems to make an issue of a facility that was 'city funded' as if to find the city at fault. For additional drama there is the matter of age. Where should the line be drawn? Separate everyone by age or physical maturity?
Missing, of course, is an explanatioin relative to supervision. Where were the adults who are charged with maintaining order?

The bleeding hearts will soundly chastise you for blaming the victim.
On another note, I was reading a pamphlet the other day distributed by a domestic violence counseling and shelter program. Did you know that giving someone a wedgie is sexual harr***ment?
