36 reports of sex abuse trigger review of Nebraska child welfare system
By Joe Duggan / World-Herald Bureau Updated 55 min ago (dec. 22, 2016)
....The 36 sexually abused children are primarily state wards or former state wards removed from their homes because they were abused or neglected, Rogers said. Their subsequent sexual abuse occurred in foster homes, adoptive homes or in state-licensed residential care facilities.
Some of the abused children were on juvenile probation, which provides intensive services to children who may not be state wards, Rogers said. The probation system is run by the Administrative Office of the Courts.
All of the sexual assault allegations were reported and investigated by law enforcement authorities, Rogers said. The abuse ranged from molestation to forced sexual penetration. Some of the cases have resulted in convictions, others are pending in court and others were deemed credible by HHS investigators.
“These are not just baseless claims,” Rogers said.

Outrageous. The World-Herald reports this, after covering it up when the lid was blown off 30 years ago. They are directly responsible for this continuing. They should be bankrupted.

Right, I don't know why the federal judge just doesn't send US marshalls in to protect the kids and remove them from protective services. I bet a lot of those kids have good relatives willing to take them, worried about them. Bad judges are a serious problem, no one can intervene in litigation so it gives bad judges the freedom to be corrupt. this needs to end. If these kids will grow up to be a stress and problem in their communities from this abuse and neglect, the judges should be held accountable.
