A call to 911 is generally mutually assured destruction of a family and the lives of all involved. It doesn't matter that you're innocent.

In Ripley County in 2008 there were 142 substantiated cases of child abuse, reports Angela Krieger. Last year 549 reports involving 806 children were made, leading to 395 investigations.

What are some issues that trigger child abuse? "Right now with the economy, it could be financial," the president points out. "Parents are frustrated" due to lack of jobs, "not having money to get food or be able to pay rent." Other examples of behavior that may provoke incidents are constantly getting poor grades or fighting with a brother or sister.

In July 1996, two 9-year-old twin sisters and their 7-year-old brother were removed from the abusive home of their biological mother and placed in foster care.

Under Washington state law, child-welfare workers can file a "dependency" petition when a child is being abused or neglected; the children are removed and the circumstances investigated. Usually, the problems in the home are addressed and the children return. The goal is to keep families together.

A small group of activists rallied Friday in Rapid City to protest sexual abuse of children and the state's foster care system.

The two-issue Unity Rally for the Children took place at 1 p.m. at Memorial Park. Addressing the issue of sexual abuse were Mayor Sam Kooiker and Robert Brancato, director of the Rapid City chapter of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests. Tate Walker of the American Civil Liberties Union of South Dakota and Evelyn Red Lodge, a reporter for the Native Sun News, talked about problems they see with the state's foster care system.

Douglas County -- One report of child abuse or neglect was received every eight minutes in Oregon last year, with a total of 65,400 reports recorded in the state, an increase from 2007 figures.

A bright spot in the report was that the total number of children in foster care continued to sink, even though Oregon has the highest number of children in foster care in the U.S. 161 of the 728 assessments Child Protective Services conducted in the county were designated founded, while 449 were determined to be unfounded. Another 118 were classified "unable to determine."

What 17-year-old Tiffany Ann Carver says she recalls most from the custody battles that raged during her childhood is not being listened to. The courts, she says, seemed more focused on her father's rights than hers.

Carver says her claims of abuse at the hands of her father were not believed by California authorities after her mother was branded a "parental alienator" who had brainwashed her. As a teen, Carver ran away from her father's home until attorneys from the Alliance for Children's Rights placed her in a foster home. A court gave her Utah mother sole custody last year. Her father has never been charged and denies the allegation.

The state Court of Appeals last week upheld the homicide by abuse conviction of Maribel Gomez, an Ephrata woman convicted of killing 2-year-old Rafael "Raffy" Gomez.

Raffy died on Sept. 10, 2003. In just 25 months of life, he had suffered two broken legs, burns, bruises and at least two skull fractures -- all while living with his biological parents. Four times, the state sent Raffy to live with a foster family to be nursed back to health, only to have the state return him to his biological family.

People who were raped as children often faced secondary victimisation when those in whom they confided reacted in a non-supportive manner, a researcher said on Tuesday.

Steven Collings, from the University of KwaZulu-Natal's School of Psychology, was speaking at the conference of the SA Professional Society on the Abuse of Children which is being held at the University of Pretoria.

ABUSED children are routinely returned to the homes where they were assaulted because the NSW Department of Community can no longer find foster carers willing to take them.

"It's a problem of their (DOCS) own making," said one foster mother, who has cared for neglected children, including a blind girl still in her custody, since 1993. "They treat foster parents with complete contempt, and they are leaving in droves."

Two children who suffered abuse in the Gresham foster home that has already led to Oregon's largest ever child welfare settlement filed lawsuits Thursday against a state agency and their former foster mom.

In May, Oregon paid $3.75 million to the family of then 2-year-old Stephanie Kuntupis, who was shaken so badly by her foster dad, Cesar Cruz-Reyes, in 2005 that she was left blind in one eye and permanently disabled.

An Associated Press investigation has found that at least 786 children died of abuse or neglect in the U.S. in a six-year span while in plain view of child protection officials.

The children lost their lives even as authorities were investigating their families or providing some form of protective services. The AP canvassed the 50 states, District of Columbia and the military.
