            <description><![CDATA[<span style="font-size: 10pt;">Reportedly, a Mason man will likely spend the rest of his life in prison for molesting boys at his mother&rsquo;s in-home day care and sharing photos of the abuse over the Internet.</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">A federal judge reportedly sentenced Andrew Keith, 29, to 80 years in prison Wednesday for producing and sharing child pornography.</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Prosecutors reportedly say Keith used his mother&rsquo;s West Chester day care as a &ldquo;personal hunting ground for victims&rdquo; and routinely photographed the boys while he abused them. Keith pleaded guilty last year to 15 counts related to child pornography.</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">He reportedly faced a minimum 30-year prison sentence and had asked U.S. District Judge Susan Dlott to consider such a sentence. An evaluation of Keith found he had been abused as a child and his attorneys said that could qualify him for a lesser sentence.</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">To Read More on this Story: <a href="http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20120509/NEWS/305090099/Day-care-child-abuser-gets-80-years?odyssey=nav%7Chead">Click Here</a></span><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt;">If you have any questions or concerns about what can be done to help children who have suffered from&nbsp;<a id="" href="http://www.keanelaw.com/" shape="rect" target="_blank">daycare injuries</a>, or families of children who have died, please call&nbsp;<a id="" href="http://www.keanelaw.com/" shape="rect" target="_blank">Christopher Keane</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Keane Law Firm&nbsp;<em>toll-free</em>&nbsp;for free consultation at (888) 592-5437 (KIDS), click on contact us here, or use the web form provided at&nbsp;<a id="" href="http://www.keanelaw.com/" shape="rect" target="_blank">http://www.keanelaw.com</a></span></strong></p><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="https://dss.fosterwebmarketing.com/upload/keanelaw.com/keanesignature.jpg" alt="" width="399" height="150" /><br />]]></description>

            <title><![CDATA[In Oklahoma, Day Care Workers Face Abuse Charges Over Hot Sauce Incident | Day Care Injury]]></title>
            <description><![CDATA[<span style="font-size: 10pt;">Two daycare workers in Oklahoma are reportedly under arrest for allegedly giving hot sauce to a toddler. Rosie Hicks and Tracy Owens have been charged</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">with child abuse.</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Court documents say the women reportedly deliberately fed a 13-month-old habanero sauce and didn&rsquo;t give him anything to drink when his mouth started burning. People who take their kids to the daycare say they&rsquo;re reportedly shocked.</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">&ldquo;Shocked, totally shocked,&rdquo; said grandparent Brenda Chafin.</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Human Services workers reportedly alerted police to the incident and that sparked a police investigation. Investigators watched surveillance video of the incident and says Hicks laughs as the boy cries in pain.</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Court documents say that Tracy Owens reportedly told police she left the day care and went to a nearby grocery store and&nbsp; bought the habanero sauce. Owens says Hicks advised her to buy the sauce and she&rsquo;s not sure why she went along with it.</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">When police reportedly interviewed Hicks, she admitted to everything. She says she knew it was wrong but she did it because of stress at work.</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Some parents say there&rsquo;s no excuse.</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">&ldquo;If you don&rsquo;t like your job, don&rsquo;t work there you know? said parent, Kaitlin Chaffin. &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t take it out on little kids.&rdquo;</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Chafin&rsquo;s mother reportedly agrees.</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">&ldquo;When you leave your child with some place like that, you are trusting those people to take as good a care of them,&rdquo; said Brenda Chafin.</span><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The boy&rsquo;s grandfather reportedly says the child was at the school about four months before the incident happened.

He also loves his family especially his grandmother Selma Mitchell who right now can't bear the thought that her grandson was allegedly abused at day care.</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">"I was furious, I was ready to leave my job get in my car and go confront this woman because you to do this to a child is ridiculous," Mitchell said.</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The family reportedly says they found out when social services paid them a visit this week by leaving this card at the door with a handwritten note on the back saying "give me a call".</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">"Someone called her anonymously and let her know that one of the teachers at the day care kicked him in the stomach and hit him on top of his head with a plastic bottle," said Zayante's mother, Nekeisha Greene.</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Zayante's family reportedly says there were no marks on his body, no indication of physical pain.</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">But now this family is in pain and wants to get to the bottom of the allegations.</span><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Reportedly, according to the DSS, this investigation is not the first.

            <description><![CDATA[<p class="body.text"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The owner of a Lincolnshire daycare center where a toddler was reportedly murdered in 2009 died of cancer-related heart failure a day before she was to stand trial on charges she coached her employees to lie to police.</span></p><p class="body.text"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Judith Katz, 67, was reportedly charged with obstruction of justice after being accused of telling her employees to lie about staffing levels to police investigating the death of 16-month-old Benjamin Kingan.</span></p><p class="body.text"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Katz, who was reportedly diagnosed with cervical cancer shortly after being indicted, died Sunday at her Arlington Heights home, according to her attorney.</span></p><p class="body.text"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Though Katz had been reportedly scheduled to go on trial Monday on that charge, defense attorney Jack Carriglio instead reported her death to Lake County Judge John Phillips.</span></p><p class="body.text"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">&ldquo;The complications of cancer brought about heart failure,&rdquo; Carriglio said during the brief hearing.</span></p><p class="body.text"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Katz had been in failing health, appearing in court Friday in a wheelchair and accompanied by a nurse for her final pre-trial hearing.</span></p><p class="body.text"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">&ldquo;She&rsquo;s been fighting this for a long time,&rdquo; Carriglio said.</span></p><p class="body.text"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Prosecutors said they also had confirmed that Katz died Sunday.</span></p><p class="body.text"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Phillips indicated he would formally dismiss the charge after receiving a copy of Katz&rsquo;s death certificate.</span></p><p class="body.text"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Authorities said Katz instructed employees at the Minee Subee daycare center to tell police two workers were present on Jan. 14, 2009, when Benjamin suffered fatal head injuries so it appeared the center was following state staffing requirements. Police, however, concluded only worker was in the room.</span></p><p class="body.text" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Daycare worker Melissa Calusinki was convicted last year of first-degree murder after a jury determined she hurled the Deerfield boy to the floor when he became fussy.

            <description><![CDATA[<span style="font-size: 10pt;">On a spring day in 2010, 17 members of Mason Beach's family reportedly crammed into the living room of his uncle's O'Fallon, Mo., home and set their attention on an invited guest, St. Charles County Prosecutor Jack Banas.</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The family reportedly wanted to know why Banas had not filed criminal charges after Mason died Sept. 10, 2009, from a head injury suffered just minutes after his mom left him at a Wentzville home day care eating Cheerios in a high chair. Why, a half-year later, had nothing happened?</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">But Banas reportedly gave them no solace that day. In a recent interview, he said Mason's fatal injuries remain suspicious. But there were no other witnesses older than 4 in the unlicensed home day care. And beyond medical opinions, there was probably not enough evidence to convince a jury that the 18-month-old died from an inflicted injury and not from an accidental fall down carpeted stairs, as the provider claimed.</span><br /><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The investigation reportedly remains open. The child care provider, Lisa West, has not been charged. She stopped speaking to authorities hours after Mason's death. Her attorney, Arthur Margulis, said the death was a "heartbreaking" accident, not a crime.</span><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br />To Read More on This Story: <a href="http://www.stltoday.com/news/local/metro/justice-proves-elusive-in-deaths-at-day-care/article_bff3f1f0-e7c6-5666-b501-502563e682db.html">Click Here</a><br /><br /><strong>If you have any questions or concerns about what can be done to help children who have suffered from&nbsp;<a id="" href="http://www.keanelaw.com/" shape="rect" target="_blank">daycare injuries</a>, or families of children who have died, please call&nbsp;<a id="" href="http://www.keanelaw.com/" shape="rect" target="_blank">Christopher Keane</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;The Keane Law Firm&nbsp;<em>toll-free</em>&nbsp;for free consultation at (888) 592-5437 (KIDS), click on contact us here, or use the web form provided at&nbsp;<a id="" href="http://www.keanelaw.com/" shape="rect" target="_blank">http://www.keanelaw.com<br /><br /><img src="https://dss.fosterwebmarketing.com/upload/keanelaw.com/keanesignature.jpg" alt="" width="399" height="125" />&nbsp;</a></strong></span></p>]]></description>
