Children Services report includes painful images

By Josh Sweigart | Monday, December 29, 2008, 10:59 AM

Meet Deshawn. He is 12 years old, and his grades have slipped. He can’t do homework because the electricity was turned off at home.

“I told Mom, but she was really high,” he said.

Meet Josh. He is 9 years old and was sent to the school nurse because of bruises on his back. They turned out to be shoe prints.

“I made too much noise, and Joe whupped me with his work boots,” Josh told Children Services. Joe is his mother’s live-in boyfriend.

Butler County Children Services introduced the county to Deshawn, Josh and others in the agency’s annual report, which appeared in this newspaper Sunday.

Here is the story. The report is below.

In addition to updated statistics on child abuse and neglect, and useful information on how the community can help confront it, the report includes some shocking images of real abuse.
