DID YOU KNOW?
*1 in every 3 girls will be sexually molested before the age of 18
*1 in every 6 boys will be sexually molested before the age of 18
*Every 10 SECONDS a child is abused, raped or killed in the U.S.
*Today up to 5 children will die from abuse or neglect
*In 13 seconds, another child will be abused in the U.S
*There were 2.9 million child abuse reports made in 1992
*ONLY 28% of the children identified as harmed by abuse are investigated
*85% of the 1.2 – 1.5 million runaways are fleeing abuse at home
*Today 6 children will commit suicide
*Suicide is the 3rd leading cause of death (ages 15-24)
*Untreated child abuse increases the likelihood of arrest for a violent crime   by 38 percent
*Today 3,086 public school students will be corporally punished & 3,356 high-school students will drop out
*60 MILLION survivors are former victims of Child Sexual Abuse in America today
*38% of all women & 20% of all men have been sexually abused by the end of adolescence
*It is estimated that 3% – 6% of the clergy population has abused a child in their congregation
*The typical child sex offender molests an average of 117 children–most of whom do not report the offense
~~~ Imagine the outcry if these statistics represented a disease, which was wiping out 5 children per day, victimizing millions, and who’s by-products where disabilities & expanding violence. Children/Youth rights are really about human rights, and simple empathy is a giant first step to the benefits of increased awareness. The high jump in child abuse statistics shows the importance of youth rights by showing cases of frightening lack of knowledge!!~~

Sloan Briles, the father who threw his 7-year-old son off a cruise boat into Newport Harbor, is scheduled to report to a rehab program by the end of the week.

The former marine, 35, pleaded guilty Monday to felony child abuse and resisting arrest in the Aug. 28 incident, reports CBS Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles Times reports Briles was sentenced to three years of probation, 180 days in a Veterans Administration residential treatment program and one year in treatment for child abuse.

Briles reportedly slapped his son while aboard a tour boat and tossed him into the harbor. Orange County Sheriff’s spokesman Him Amormino said the boy was crying about an argument between Briles and his father’s girlfriend before the incident occurred.

“Three boaters that were nearby came to the boy’s rescue,” said Amormino. “The father did eventually jump in, but by that time the boy was rescued by a boater.”

Both the boy and his brother were later returned to their mother’s care.

If Briles fails to complete the inpatient program, he will serve six months in Orange County Jail and receive no credit for time already spent in treatment.

“It’s an all or nothing deal,” said Deputy Dist. Atty. Cyril Yu, who said he was satisfied with the guilty plea but believed Briles deserved jail time.

“Certainly he was cognizant of what took place,” Yu said.

Briles was heavily intoxicated at the time of the incident, and his lawyer said he was hospitalized for alcohol withdrawal for two days after his arrest.

Two separate cases of alleged child neglect in St Lucie County in the same week

PORT ST. LUCIE, FLORIDA

For the second time in a week, children have been removed from a home in St. Lucie County after investigators found filthy conditions inside.

From the outside, the home on Chapman Avenue in Port St. Lucie looks fine, but inside police say it was a different story. Officer Steven Brown was there and called it one of the most shocking cases in his nine years on the force.

“When I walked in, the smell was so overwhelming. I was in there for about 2 or 3 minutes just to observe everything, and holding my breath about half that time,” said Officer Brown.

There were dirty dishes with moldy food, bugs, and more than fifty piles of dog waste.

“The first thing I saw were several mattresses piled up. The stains were seeping over to the sides of the mattresses,” added Officer Brown.

The mother, 26-year-old Victoria Hinchcliff, was arrested and charged with three counts of child neglect involving her nine, six, and five-year-old children.

Just last week, a Fort Pierce couple was arrested for failing to properly care for their two, three, and four-year-olds.  In both cases, someone stepped forward to alert authorities. In the Hinchcliff case, it was a school teacher who noticed one of the children was coming to school dirty and not wearing any underwear.

Florida has the highest rate in the nation of children who die from abuse at the hands of their parents; that’s why organizations like CASTLE on the Treasure Coast are so important.

For more than three decades, CASTLE has worked to prevent child abuse by working with families free of charge to teach strong parenting skills, so children have safe and nurturing homes. Doug Borrie, CASTLE’s assistant executive director, says there are a number of reasons families get in these situations.

“It could be poverty, it could be failure to look for services, maybe a fear of approaching services, maybe shame,” said Borrie.

Borrie says what’s crucial is that if the family doesn’t step forward that someone else, a teacher, neighbor, or friend will.

“If you see something, say something. You may be the only thing between that child being hurt and not being hurt,” added Borrie.

2 boys, 10, accused of sex assault on Houston bus

Posted on January 10, 2012 by SACAMarketing

 

HOUSTON, TEXAS

Houston police say two 10-year-old boys have been charged with sexually assaulting an 8-year-old boy on a school bus.

The boys were arrested last week after authorities reviewed a security videotape from the bus.

The alleged incident happened in August but the investigation took several months. Houston police spokesman Kese Smith said Tuesday it is not unusual for investigations involving juveniles to take that long.

Houston school district spokesman Jason Spencer says officials were first made aware of the alleged assault when the district’s transportation department was asked by a parent on Aug. 30 to review conditions on a bus that transports special needs students to an elementary school.

If convicted on charges of aggravated sexual assault of a child, they could face a sentence of up to 40 years.
