Innocence Lost

Foster Care/DCFS Scandals
 
This page is dedicated to all the innocent children who have lost their lives due to the neglect of Family and Social Services and the great foster car system. The victims, the children, so young, depending upon people who could not, or would not help them. Katelyn Frazier - 3 years old, dead. Larry and Gary Bass two of a set of triplets - 8 years old, dead. Megan, Anthony, Robert & Damien Whittle, a set of quads - beaten and shaken savagely until all four children are now disabled. Miguel Humberto Arias-Baca- 2 years old - dead. It pains me to say that this is not the tip of the iceberg, only the 8 children that we are telling you about here. They are safe place now, a place where no one can hurt them any longer, for children are sacred to Jesus, somehow that just doesn't make this reporter feel any better.  

Our Social Services, Child Welfare, Health and Human Services, whichever you choose to call them, and our foster care system is in serious need of dismantlement and rebuilt from the bottom to the top. We're not talking about just the enormous amount of money being poured into useless systems, we're talking about the lives of our children. The lives of our futures is being murdered on a daily basis. What is so horrid about this crisis is that it's totally preventable. From the biggest to the smallest, California, Iowa, Rhode Island and even small town hick Nebraska isn't immune to the blatant disregard for the safety and well being of our children, to the laziness of most of the social service workers, which in turn leads to the tragedies that we are going to discuss now.
3 Year Old Little Boy Chained By His Neck To A Bed While In Foster Care
Five different DCFS agencies were involved with placing six very troubled children in a foster home run by a 64 year old woman. When police began searching the house, they came to a bedroom.
Katelyn Frazier 
Three year old toddler, beaten to death by her mother and her mothers boyfriend after being returned to them from foster care. Katelyn entered the Alexandria foster care system when she was only two months old after her mother arrived with her and her sisters at a homeless shelter. Katelyn would come before two separate judges in fifteen court cases over the next two years. During this time, she would be shuffled through foster homes, finally ending up in the home of Lesley Dodson, who would eventually try unsuccessfully to adopt little Katelyn. The state also tried at one point to have Frazier's parental rights terminated. However, a judge, in his infinite wisdom, declared that the state had not met the high "legal threshold for such a drastic step." Katelyn was killed on December 27, 2000 just twelve days after her third birthday by blunt force trauma to her head, after being returned to the care of her mother.
Foster Mother Holds 17 month Old Latiana Hamilton Under Water
Lena Cumberbatch, 36, of 5957 Wentworth Circle S in Jacksonville, Florida was bathing Latiana when she pushed the baby's head under water while at least two other children watched her murder the baby. Cumberbatch had a total of 8 children in her home, four were foster children and four her own ranging in ages from 2 months to 10 years old.
Miguel Humberto Arias-Baca
Miguel Humberto Arias-Baca was only two years old when his foster parents, Ricky Haney (37) and Evon Haney (31), claimed that he'd fallen off the toilet during potty training. He would die the next day from severe head injuries suffered from a beating.
