Man sentenced for sex abuse of foster child
By Andrew Waite | Peninsula Clarion
A Soldotna man was given a 34-month prison sentence Wednesday in superior court for sexually abusing a girl he had taken in as a foster child.
Dustin L. Poole, 38, pleaded guilty in January to touching a 13-year-old girl above her clothes in the chest area on New Year's Eve 2007. He was convicted on one class C felony count of sexual abuse of a minor.
The sentence, delivered by Judge Carl Bauman on Wednesday, carries a five-year probation period, which includes a number of restrictions. The sentence also requires Poole register as a sex offender for 15 years.
"It's a tsunami," Bauman said on the effect the sentence could have on Poole's life. "My concern is that this is broader than just the single incident on the single occasion."
Police investigation, included in court records, says Poole touched the 13-year-old girl while she slept on multiple occasions. Records also indicate Poole admitted to placing a hidden camera inside the girl's clothes hamper and to filming her while she showered and used the bathroom. This happened at least four times, according to police reports.
However, Poole only pleaded guilty to touching the girl in the single incident.
"We're dealing with a person who was a foster parent who went off the rocker one night, one New Year's Eve," defense attorney Arthur Robinson said. "Though criminal, the act was isolated. It's not something that is in his character."
At Wednesday's sentencing, Poole said he was sorry.
"I know I done wrong. I hurt so many people. I just want to apologize," he said in a raspy voice, fighting tears.
The victim, who was present in the courtroom, declined an opportunity to make a statement. Bauman said the sentence was meant to provide justice.
"The total impact of the sentence here is heavy and appropriate," he said.
Many people, including Poole's family members, came to the courtroom in support of Poole. Bauman read letters from people who wanted to comment on behalf of Poole's character. In one of the letters the writer claimed the situation "leaves them scratching their head as to how this could even happen." Other letters, written by parents, explained they continue to trust Poole around their children.
However, Bauman reasoned, a 13-year-old foster daughter caught Poole's eye and Poole didn't look away.
"The message of the community has to be, no, you just can't act upon that," Bauman said.

Louisiana Department of Social Services secretary Kristy Nichols said Tuesday that the parent of a foster child was arrested following an incident in Ouachita Parish on Monday.
Nichols said a foster care worker sustained multiple injuries after being attacked by a dog during a visit to the parent's home.
According to police reports, a dog chained in the yard was barking as the worker approached a home of a West Monroe family at approximately 3 p.m. Monday.
A preliminary investigation revealed that Daphne Bailey approached the dog and allegedly unleashed the animal. After it was unleashed, the dog attacked the worker.
According to the West Monroe Police Department, Bailey was charged with aggravated battery and currently is being held on a $10,000 bond in the Ouachita Correctional Center.
The foster care worker sustained four bites, three of which required stitches. After she was able to free herself from the dog's attack, a second resident of the home restrained the dog.
The foster care worker was treated for her injuries at a local hospital and released.
The dog involved in the attack will be tested for rabies and kept under quarantine for 10 days by Ouachita Parish Animal Control.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- Lakisha Toles spoke from Lerdo jail on Wednesday afternoon about the anguish she felt after hearing her 5-month-old son Micheal Patterson Jr. had died while in foster care.
"I couldn't believe it. I just ran out when they told me," Toles said.
Toles is serving a two-year sentence for theft. She said she stole sheets from a local Wal-Mart store.
Toles has 10 children she said were fathered by eight different men. Seven of those children, including the baby who died, were taken out of her home when she was incarcerated.
"They took my kids, because I took my baby with me stealing," Toles said.
Toles said she blames herself for being locked up and not with her kids, but she also feels the foster mother should be held responsible for Micheal's death.
"They knew the baby was sick. My family saw Michael on Friday and he was sick," she said.
The Kern County Coroner's office said it completed the autopsy, but the cause of death won't be released until toxicology reports are completed.

Jailed mother's kin suing to take on judge
By Bruce Vielmetti of the Journal Sentinel
March 25, 2010
The sister of a Milwaukee woman jailed more than two years for refusing to reveal the whereabouts of her son in a custody dispute is so upset with case that she wants to run against the judge.
Milwaukee Circuit Judge Thomas Donegan on Monday ordered April Hope Griffin to undergo an inpatient psychological evaluation, after reports that she wouldn't cooperate for a less intensive review ordered earlier. Griffin is charged with interfering with child custody.
Griffin's sister, Ieshuh Griffin, tried to file to run against Donegan this week. Told she couldn't, she has now gone to federal court for a write of quo warranto challenging Donegan's authority to sit as judge.
She says the criteria to run for circuit judge is "unconstitutional and infringes on the right and the will of the people, for the people by the people to form a more perfect Union." The motion runs seven pages and invokes the Clayton Act, the Sherman Act and "all aplicable federal law."
April Griffin first spent time in jail on contempt for refusing to say where her child was being held. A family court judge eventually let her out, and she was arrested on charges of interfering with custody a few months later when police, acting on a tip, discovered the boy with her and removed him.
Ieshuh Griffin also runs a YouTube channel devoted to her sister's case.

Secrecy in child welfare cases creates monsters
Harry Jaffe: Secrecy in child welfare cases creates monsters

Remember the Renee Bowman case? It has to be one of the most despicable, heinous crimes ever in a region that's suffered some horrible ones. It's so heart-rending maybe you couldn't deal with it.
Police raided Bowman's home in 2008 when one of her three foster daughters, filthy and emaciated, was found wandering in a smock through a neighborhood in southern Maryland. Inside Bowman's home, cops found the bodies of her two other foster daughters. She had beaten all three, starved them, tortured them and killed two. Then froze them. The third escaped.
Bowman, 44, was convicted last month of killing Minnet and Jasmine Bowman. This week, Montgomery County Circuit Judge Michael Algeo sentenced Bowman to life in prison.
Algeo said the case was the most horrific he'd seen in his 25 years in the criminal justice system. Bowman apologized only for the abuse.
The fact that Bowman might spend the rest of her life behind bars was cold comfort to Richard Wexler. He and other advocates for children who are routinely abused inside the foster care and adoption systems, especially in D.C., want more than one woman's incarceration.
"We need to open the entire system to public view," says Wexler, executive director of the National Coalition for Child Protection Reform. Now the entire process — from the D.C. social service agencies to the family courts — is done in secret. "That does nothing to protect children and everything to allow agencies and courts to do sloppy work — and cover their mistakes."
Consider this mistake: Renee Bowman — a monster who beat the girls then sent e-mails to a friend that read: "They hate it — hahaha" — was a creation of the D.C. Child and Family Services Agency. In 2001, D.C.'s welfare agency recommended her as a suitable adoptive parent. D.C.'s social workers then blessed the adoption of her first daughter — who wound up in a freezer.
Really? Suitable?
During the course of their lives, as their "mother" beat them and fed them cat food, the District kept paying her subsidies. She was able to collect support money even after she had killed two girls and stuffed them in a freezer. She received an estimated $150,000 from D.C.
What can be done?
"Completely open the system," Wexler says. "It would allow us to see the mistakes, hopefully before they turn fatal. And the prospect that someone might be looking over their shoulders might encourage everyone — from social workers to judges — to do better work."
Right now 14 states have opened their child protection proceedings to the media and public. Maryland, Virginia and D.C. are not among them. Wexler and Matt Fraidin, a law professor at the University of the District of Columbia, have been lobbying D.C. council members to open the system. How far have they gotten?
"Nowhere," Wexler says.
With Renee Bowman's horror show still in mind, perhaps it's time.

Local doctor faces charges
Psychologist indicted in Cheshire County
By PHILLIP BANTZ
Sentinel Staff
Published: Tuesday, March 23, 2010
A Keene psychologist has surrendered his license to practice mental health therapy in the wake of allegations he sexually assaulted and stalked a patient.
Dr. Burton G. Hollenbeck, 56, of Richmond has been indicted in Cheshire County on eight counts of felonious aggravated sexual assault, two counts of violating a protective order and one count of witness tampering.
Each sexual assault charge carries a maximum prison sentence of 10 to 20 years. Witness tampering, also a felony, is punishable by 3 1/2 to seven years in prison. Violating a protective order is a misdemeanor charge with a possible sentence of a year in jail.
Hollenbeck’s attorney, Cathy J. Green of Manchester, declined an interview request but released the following statement: “Dr. Hollenbeck will enter pleas of not guilty to all of these charges and is confident that when all of the facts are brought before the court, justice will prevail.”
Hollenbeck, who worked out of an office on Roxbury Street in Keene, hung up on a reporter when reached by phone Monday.
In late January, Hollenbeck agreed to quit practicing psychology in New Hampshire until the state Board of Mental Health Practice resolves the allegations of misconduct pending against him. Psychologists are barred by ethical code from having sex with current clients or former clients within two years of the termination of therapy.
The sexual assault indictments against Hollenbeck allege that he had sex with a 36-year-old patient eight times between March and October 2008. The patient’s identity is being protected because The Sentinel does not name alleged victims of sexual assault.
The state Attorney General’s Office has appointed Hillsborough County Attorney Robert M. Walsh to prosecute the case. Walsh did not return messages seeking comment.
The alleged victim and her husband — they were married in 1995 and have two children — began seeing Hollenbeck for marriage counseling in mid-2006.
After learning that the wife had been abused when she was younger, Hollenbeck asked her to have one-on-one therapy sessions with him, according to separate lawsuits the wife and husband have filed against Hollenbeck.
They are seeking hundreds of thousands of dollars in compensation for mental anguish, emotional distress, lost wages, legal fees and other damages, losses or expenses they say they suffered as a result of the alleged affair and Hollenbeck’s “wanton, malicious and oppressive” actions.
Shortly after the wife started her private sessions with Hollenbeck, the doctor bought her golf equipment, gold and pearl earrings, paid her auto insurance, gave her $200 toward a trip to Europe and paid $50 for her monthly phone bill between March and November 2008, according to the husband and his attorney, William Aivalikles of Nashua.
The wife and Hollenbeck became involved in a romantic relationship in February 2008, the husband states in his lawsuit. In October, Hollenbeck’s office manager blew the whistle on the alleged affair, but the wife and doctor denied the allegations, according to the lawsuit.
The husband states in court documents that he wrote a letter in support of Hollenbeck because he could not believe the doctor was having a romantic relationship with his wife.
But in early December, the wife came forward and admitted she was having an affair with Hollenbeck, her lawsuit states. She then ended the relationship, according to her lawsuit.
Her attorney, Paul M. DeCarolis of Nashua, declined to comment on the case.
“All I can say is we’re confident that the case will get before a civil jury in Cheshire County and the jury will issue the appropriate justice,” DeCarolis said.
Court documents indicate the wife is seeking at least $400,000 in compensation from Hollenbeck. Her husband wants $500,000.
Both lawsuits have been suspended until Hollenbeck’s criminal case concludes.
After the wife ended her romantic relationship with Hollenbeck, the doctor began stalking her, according to her lawsuit.
Claremont District Court Judge John J. Yazinski barred Hollenbeck from contacting the wife in a Dec. 22, 2008, restraining order. In her request for the restraining order, the wife writes that Hollenbeck followed her to a gas station on Dec. 3 and tried to block her car with his vehicle.
“I refused to tell him where I was going so he followed me all around Keene and a few miles out before giving up and turning around,” she wrote. “I fear for my life because I have reported him to the Board and I don’t know what he will do, how he will react and I have many phone messages for you to hear his temper.”
She writes that Hollenbeck won’t stop calling her and sending her text messages and that she’s seen him parked outside her house.
Four days after the incident at the gas station, Hollenbeck pulled the keys out of the ignition of the wife’s vehicle while she was trying to drive away from him during another confrontation, according to her statement in support of the restraining order.
Hollenbeck “told me I could have them back when I got to his office. Despite repeated (requests) to give them back he went to his office. As I entered he grabbed me and threw me on the couch. He threw me many times whenever I was able to get out of his grip. I told him, ‘No Burt No! Get off me!’ to no avail.”
Hollenbeck is accused of violating the restraining order by contacting the wife on Dec. 22 and Dec. 23, 2008. During the latter conversation, he told her, “I can’t help you from prison,” according to the indictments. The alleged statement led to the witness tampering charge.
On Dec. 31, 2008, Hollenbeck was arrested for violating the restraining order. He posted $25,000 bail and was released from jail the next day. The restraining order remains active.

My Grandson, Austin Knightly-Illegally stolen by the State of New Hampshire
The top picture of Austin was taken in 2009, I believe and the bottom picture was taken in 2008, while he was held prisoner at St. Charles Childrens Home in Rochester, NH. He was forced to run every day while he was there. As you can see, he was skin and bones.He probably still is after being placed in the same foster home as he was first placed where he was fed pretzels and water. The same home where he tried to hang himself. Isn't our government great?
