Re:
[FamilyRightsAdvocacyIMPROVEMENTProject] Evelyn This is another good point, Greg. Parents don't always tell the WHOLE story. In fact, they usually don't. I know of many cases on these groups in which the family tells a very different story than what it really is. Several come to mind...Cygan, Pound, and Swallow are the first ones that come to mind. Sometimes, it isn't that the parent is purposely covering up...they truly don't understand the allegations or what has happened in the process. Those are honest mistakes. But, many other times, the parents know exactly what's going on and they are definitely covering it up.... Kay Covering it up, like you and Ms Shell did? This is part of an article written by Ms. Shell posted several places on the internet. This kid must have been hit really hard to still have a red bruised butt the next day. Kay M. Henson, 31, a mother of six from Sharon, Wis., pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of "simple battery" after she "admitted spanking her son 15 times, but said she also tried grounding him, using timeouts and ordering him to do extra chores as forms of discipline, but nothing worked," The Associated Press reported Aug. 18, 2001. "I spanked him on the bare butt with my hand," said Henson, who weighs 110 lbs. "This was after a whole summer of this boy misbehaving." The boy reported to school officials that his mother had spanked him 30 times on his bare buttocks. Henson could have faced a maximum 10-year prison sentence. "The state's case appears to rely heavily on a photograph of the boy's buttocks taken after the incident," the local Janesville Gazette reported. "The picture shows the buttocks almost completely covered with bruises and redness. "A judge said Wednesday that a picture of the bruised buttocks of a 10-year-old boy shows `extensive reddening,' likely from `multiple or very hard strikes.' School officials reported the incident to human services, which then reported it to police." All six children, aged 9 months to 13 years, were taken from Henson's home after the report of the alleged abuse. The four who belong to her and her current husband were returned two months later, and have now fled the state with their father. The 10-year-old and his older sister have gone to live with their birth father. KAY HENSON IN JAIL AGAIN HER FAMILY IN HIDING Walworth County, Wisconsin Sept. 13, 2002 -- Kay Hensen has been jailed on a claim that she has violated her probation in a battery case. This battery case involved a spanking, using her LEFT HAND, administered to her son by the right-handed Mrs. Hensen. Mrs. Hensen is a minister's wife, living in Delavan, Wisconsin. The spanking incident involved one of her two children from a previous marriage. Mrs. Hensen has five children from her present marriage. Ms Shell reported that the Child reported the spanking to the school. Now she's blaming Kay Henson's ex husband. I guess Ms. Henson knows what she's talking about concerning cover ups. The initial child abuse report was made by Mrs. Hensen's former husband, Alan Cardella. This report became a criminal complaint to which Mrs. Hensen pled "no contest" on the advice of her court appointed attorney. She was put on probation, and has since been jailed twice for allegedly violating the conditions of her probation. The first alleged violation occurred during another investigation of alleged child abuse. Mrs. Hensen's probation officer at the time, Eilene Haffey, stated that contacting an attorney would be considered a violation of her probation. The second alleged probation violation, for which she is currently jailed, involves reports that the Hensen children played in the street in front of their home in a residential area. While jailed, Mrs. Hensen, who has a 9 month old daughter, has been denied the use of a breast pump. This may result in mastitis and other health issues. |
