TEEN ACCUSED OF SEXUAL ASSAULT ON A 16 YEAR OLD GIRL IN CHURCH BATHROOM ATTEMPTS SUICIDE...
A 17-year-old boy accused of sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl at a Waxahachie church is hospitalized in Dallas today after he attempted to commit suicide, authorities said.
Heritage Baptist Church When he’s released from the hospital, the boy, who was not identified, will be taken into custody and charged with sexual assault, said Lt. Jason Westmoreland, a spokesman for the Ellis County Sheriff’s Department.
"The offense itself is pretty cut and dry," he said. "We don't know why [he did it] until we get a chance to talk to him."
The alleged attack occurred about 7 p.m. Wednesday in a restroom at Heritage Baptist Church in Waxahachie. A Bible study was scheduled that night at the church.
When adults confronted the boy, he threatened to take his own life, Westmoreland said, and when police arrived he attempted to cut his throat with a straight razor. He was airlifted to a Dallas hospital.
Westmoreland said the girl did not suffer any injuries that required medical attention.
"It's sad anywhere," the lieutenant said of the attack, “but especially at the church."
Officials at the church declined to comment. ---http://www.dallasnews.com/

FOUR YEAR OLD SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENT LEFT ON BUS ALONE...
When 4 year old Kevin Johnson didn't show up at the bus stop after school, his mother and father knew something was wrong. It took hours before officials realized he had been left on his school bus.
Kevin is slightly autistic and has trouble speaking, so he hasn't talked about what happened to him Friday evening, but his parents have.
"They told me he never got on the bus on the way home from school," said Kevin's mother Valdelcia Johnson. "They didn't know where he was. Nobody knew where he was. I didn't know, I was frantic."
There was no sight of Kevin at Sylvan Park Elementary School, no sight of him at home. For hours, no one, not even Kevin's special needs bus driver, realized he was still trapped inside his own bus.
"She went home for whatever reason, and forgot my son was on the bus. He ended up getting off the bus by himself and was walking on a corner and they found him with a security guard," said Johnson.
Officer Sunny Park with the Metro Nashville Police Department found Kevin wandering the streets of Bordeaux. He was eventually reunited with his parents.
"It was all kind of weird, things flew through my mind. It was horrifying for that three hours or so," said father Kevin Young.
The 4-year-old's parents want to know how the driver could have made such a mistake.
"I would have thought by him being on a special needs bus they would take more precautions with the children," said Young.
"That's child endangerment. There's no other way to put it. You left a 4-year-old on the bus by himself," said Johnson.
Until something is done, Kevin's parents said he won't be riding the bus home anytime soon.---http://www.newschanel5.com/

STALKER SHOT BY POLICE...
FRANKFORT TOWNSHIP -- A man who was allegedly menacing his former girlfriend with a gun at her home was shot by a Will County sheriff's deputy Friday morning.
Spokesman Pat Barry said it was around 6 a.m. when the woman came out of her house in the 7500 block of West Benton Drive to walk her dog.

"She saw Richard Petrick, 48, who she has an active order of protection against, in the bushes near the front of the residence," Barry said.
The woman reportedly ran around to the back door, went inside and pushed a panic button on the alarm system, which police said were recently installed as the result of prior confrontations with Petrick.
"At the same time, a deputy was on patrol nearby and came down Benton Street because we have been watching over that residence because of the suspect," Barry said. "He observed Petrick in the front yard with a handgun."
The deputy called for backup and followed Petrick to the back door as other deputies, Frankfort and Mokena police arrived.
With other officers on the scene, Petrick was repeatedly ordered to drop the gun, but went inside instead.
As Petrick was coming in the back, the victim's daughter smashed out the window of a bedroom at the front of the yellow house and lept from the second floor, landing on a gray Dodge parked in the driveway.
"Deputies went inside and found Petrick hiding behind (the corner of) a partial wall still carrying the gun. (A veteran) deputy shot him once," Barry said. The deputy who fired the shot was not the first on the scene.
An ambulance arrived and took a "critically" injured Petrick to St. James Hospital in Olympia Fields. He was later airlifted to Advocate Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn.
Police and the woman he reportedly threatened were not injured.(surburbanchicagonews)

MAN CHARGED WITH RAPING A 9 YEAR OLD AT A BIRTHDAY PARTY...
Cambridge — A 24-year-old Cambridge man who was charged with allegedly raping a 9-year-old at a birthday party worked at the King Open after-school program. The incident, according to officials, did not occur on school premises.
Cambridge resident Christopher Bradshaw was arrested and arraigned on April 8 in Cambridge District Court on one count of child rape. Cambridge District Court Judge Michelle Hogan ordered Bradshaw held on $5,000 cash bail with conditions.
The District Attorney's office Thursday refused to name the after-school program at that time, but Bradshaw maintains a LinkedIn profile.
The incident allegedly happened at a child's birthday party on April 1. Bradshaw was a guest at the party and a friend of the victim’s mother. The victim’s sister allegedly witnessed Bradshaw sexually assaulting her brother at 11 p.m. after he went downstairs to watch TV with the victim, according to a press release from the District Attorney's office.
A Cambridge parent of a third grader who attends the after-school program at King Open did not know about this incident and is concerned. She said parents had not been informed as of today.
Justin Martin, a Cambridge Public Schools spokesman, did not respond to calls and an e-mail for comment, but an extended day school staffer said Bradshaw was, as of last week, not working for the school.
According to a list of city salaries published by the Chronicle last year, Bradshaw worked in the extended day program as an assistant teacher and made $7,775 in one fiscal year.
This case remains under investigation and anyone with information about this, or related matters is urged to contact the Cambridge Police Department at 617-349-3300 or the Middlesex District Attorneys Office’s Child Abuse Unit at 781-897-8400.

THE AFTER MATH OF CHILDHOOD SEXUAL ABUSE (by Dennis Thompson Jr.)
People who were sexually abused as children may have issues with sexual dysfunction and self-destructive behavior when they get older.
Sexual abuse leaves many scars, creating feelings of guilt, anger, and fear that haunt survivors throughout their lives. Adults who have undergone sexual abuse as children commonly experience depression and insomnia. High levels of anxiety in these adults can result in self-destructive behaviors, such as alcoholism or drug abuse, anxiety attacks, and situation-specific anxiety disorders.
The damage extends to the sexual abuse survivor's sense of their own sexuality. Many survivors also have trouble pursuing adult relationships and enjoying sex as an adult. The abuse can color a person's sexuality, preventing the survivor from pursuing a healthy sex life with a loving partner.
Sexual Abuse and Sexual Behaviors
In general, childhood sexual abuse survivors tend to either pursue sex recklessly as adults or to forgo sex completely, says Stephen L. Braveman, MA, a licensed marriage and family therapist in Monterey, Calif., and the western regional representative of the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists. "They typically wind up with splitting behavior, where things become very black and white," he says. "Either they are very sexually active, or they shut down sexually." www.everydayhealth.com

Sweet Dreams 4
I remember back in June of 94,I was married to my 2nd abusive husband and pregnant with my now 14 year old son.Nicole Brown Simpson had been murdered.This sent a real chill down my spine.I can remember thinking,now her kids are left without a mother..But,I still remained in my abusive marriage for a little while longer.However,I did separate from him before my son was born.Of course this was not our first seperation.....ya,know the victim most always goes back to her abuser..You know the drill...'I'M Sorry' it won't happen again...Anyway on to Clue #3 CONTROLLING BEHAVIOR...The abuser wants to know your every move...if you arrive home late from an appointment or work,the abuser will become angry and accuse you of seeing someone else.The abuser at this point is very irrational.Trying to defend your actions or trying to reason with the abuser at this point can be very exhausting, to say the least.The abuser will want to control everything from what you wear,to where you go, to whom you talk too.Are you starting to wake up?Well,THERE'S EVEN MORE...AND IT GETS MORE SERIOUS AS WE GO ALONG...
SWEET DREAMS-THREE'S A CROWD
I can remember having the very misguided feeling of being special and ooh so loved,because my husband was so insanely jealous.I was foolish and naive enough to think that this was cute.I was 17,the first time I got married...of course,it was against my adopted parents better judgement.But,you already know...that of course, I did not listen to them.So many women feel unrealistically flattered by the potential abusers jealousy.WAKE UP! You are headed in a DANGER ZONE! I must also mention that,I have suffered from depression my whole life..So,of course this added to my insecurities and acceptance of allowing myself to be a victim time and time again for years..I must say when my 21 yr. old daughter started dating her soon to be abuser..I could do something that,I could not do each time I met one of my future abusers..It was if I had some kind of a built in radar..something that I did not have concerning my abusive relationships.He may as well have been wearing a label because I could see right through him.He absolutely,terrified me.I tried over and over again to warn my daughter to no avail.She stayed in the relationship.I could tell exactly when she was starting to see the REAL person that she too quickly became involved with..Which brings me to #2)QUICK INVOLVEMENT! That Worldwind Wanna Be Romance.The potential abuser comes on strong "You are the only one for me" or "you are the only person that I can trust or talk to"..Many abusers propose in less than six months.Potential abusers will often put pressure on their victims for commitment...to the point that the victim may feel guilty if they want to slow down the relationship.This is yet another important clue..PAY ATTENTION! If these two very important clues are not enough Believe me THERE ARE MORE!

Sweet Dreams Too
First,I would like to say the feelings of hopelessness and just sheer low self esteem can cause a woman to feel so worthless,that she feels somehow it is her fault that her partner is abusive to her.These feelings are Totally Untrue.Please,Please do not listen to these negative feelings.If you have a trusted family member or friend..Please confide in them and let them be a strong source of support.You CAN NOT CHANGE HIM! You are waisting valuable time,if you try.I know that I felt for years, like it was my fault..I thought 'It must be my fault,if I keep attracting these kinds of guys".If you do not have a friend or family member,talk to your family doctor.If this is not an option call 1-800-559-safe.I know that a lot of women stay in the relationship because of finances and their children or both.Especially today,in these hard economic times.It can be difficult.But,your life is priceless..just remember that.If you have young children,they desperately need you.For those of you that would like to know what to look for, as far as WARNING SIGNS..TO VIOLENT ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR..# 1)EXTREME JEALOUSY! He will tell you especially in the beginning of your relationship,that his jealousy is because he loves you so much..you are the best thing that has ever happened to him.He doesn't want lose you.WATCH OUT!
SWEET DREAMS (The beginning of this blog)
This blog is dedicated to women survivors of domestic violence.I was a victim of domestic violence for years.It is behind me now but,it recently touched my 21 year old daughter's life.All of the signs were there and I saw them and I desperately tried to warn her about them.But,of course she would not listen to me.Her ex-boyfriend recently set our house on fire as we were sleeping.The Lord awoke my daughter in time for her to alert us all(my husband & my two teenaged sons)we were able to escape without harm and our house was not very badly damaged.I have since installed a home security system.We all are still terrified because he was never arrested for the aggravated arson.The police did not have prove that he did it.Even though he posted a photo of himself,posing with a lighter burning,on a social network.My daughter has a 2yr. protection order against him.He violated it with telephone calls,he was arrested for this and he does have to go to court for it.In my blog I will list telltale signs of a potentially abusive person.I hope that I can help someone out there avoid becoming a victim of domestic violence.
MANHUNT IN PEORIA (published ALLVOICES) by me win59
On Tuesday Morning November 16th,my husband and I awoke to the startling news of two inmates escaping from the Peoria County Jail sometime between Monday 8:00pm and Tuesday 6:30am. James Fuller 44 and Aaron Cook 28 had managed to escape from the roof.The two had tied sheets together to lower themselves from the rooftop of the jail.(it was like something out of a movie) Fuller had been digging his escape thru the roof for well over a year.Aaron Cook had been in jail since March for breaking the arm of a 3 year old girl.James Fuller an unemployed felon,already convicted of armed robbery and rape was accused of attacking the same woman twice(I & my husband remember reading about the attack in our local newspaper)He is described as a very scary character.Police warned the public that Fuller is to be CONSIDERED DANGEROUS.But,what really made this very scary for me personally,was the fact that he was tracked down to the very neighborhood in which I live.Aaron Cook was captured several hours after the two escaped.He was found hiding in the basement of a residence and two people were arrested for obstructing justice.But,Fuller was still at large.Just blocks away,Fuller broke into a resident's home,tied him up and robbed him,taking a vehicle and a cell phone.Around 7:00 pm he reportedly left the stolen vehicle in a High School parking lot(he was in my area now).The police tracked the cell phone to an area that is like 2 blocks from my house! I was a paranoid mess and I can imagine the fear his victims must have felt upon the news of his escape.He was out there somewhere the entire night.Police finally captured him in a vacant house,where he reportedly surrendered without a struggle(he had left my area).It is reported that Serial Rapist James Fuller 6'3 and 225 lbs. was a patient at Zellers Mental Health Center(now closed down) 20 years ago,when he overpowered a worker and escaped(he was 24 yrs. old) he was at large for 5 days.He was a sixteen year old basketball star when he was first charged with rape,it is reported.But,thanks to the Peoria Police Department and local authority's James Fuller Serial Rapist and Man Of Terror is back behind bars!
