Foster mother pleads guilty to assaulting child
By Christine Clarridge
Seattle Times staff reporter
A woman who burned her foster daughter's tongue with a heated fork, beat
her feet with dumbbells and stuck a needle into the girl's eye several
times pleaded guilty today to three counts of assault. Chornice Y.
Kabbelliyaa, who also goes by the last name of Lewis, pleaded guilty in
King County Superior Court to one count of first-degree assault and two
counts of second-degree assault for her treatment of her cousin and
foster daughter.
Kabbelliyaa, 34, of Federal Way is the girl's cousin and had been her
licensed foster mother since the girl was 5 years old.
The 34-year-old woman was arrested last year after Child Protective
Services were called by a neighbor who reported seeing Kabbelliyaa punch
the girl, hit her with an umbrella and lock her in an outside storage
unit for hours.
Physicians examining the girl found serious damage to the girl's right
eye, scarring, bruising and a severely burned tongue.
The girl, who was then 14, told police and CPS investigators that her
cousin had become angry on one occasion and plunged an insulin needle
into the pupil of her right eye, holding it in her eye for several
minutes and telling the girl not to move or she'd be blinded.
A medical examination showed similar puncture wounds to the pupil of the
girl's left eye.
In addition, police and prosecutors said in charging papers, Kabbelliyaa
beat the girl with crutches, an umbrella, canned goods and keys.
Charging documents also alleged that Kabbelliyaa would turn on the
stove's burner until it was red-hot before pressing the girl's palm onto
the burner.
Kabbelliyaa, who is scheduled to be sentenced Nov. 16 at the Regional
Justice Center in Kent, will face a standard sentence range of 10 years
to a little more than 14 years. Prosecutors said they will seek a
top-end sentence.

CPS Does not protect children...
It is sickening how many children are subject to abuse, neglect and even
killed at the hands of Child Protective Services.
every parent should read this .pdf from
connecticut dcf watch...

Number of Cases per 100,000 children in the US
These numbers come from The National Center on
Child Abuse and Neglect in Washington. (NCCAN)
Recent numbers have increased significantly for CPS
*Perpetrators of Maltreatment*
Physical Abuse CPS 160, Parents 59
Sexual Abuse CPS 112, Parents 13
Neglect CPS 410, Parents 241
Medical Neglect CPS 14 Parents 12
Fatalities CPS 6.4, Parents 1.5
Imagine that, 6.4 children die at the hands of the very agencies that
are supposed to protect them and only 1.5 at the hands of parents per
100,000 children. CPS perpetrates more abuse, neglect, and sexual abuse
and kills more children then parents in the United States. If the
citizens of this country hold CPS to the same standards that they hold
parents too. No judge should ever put another child in the hands of ANY
government agency because CPS nationwide is guilty of more harm and
death than any human being combined. CPS nationwide is guilty of more
human rights violations and deaths of children then the homes from which
they were removed. When are the judges going to wake up and see that
they are sending children to their death and a life of abuse when
children are removed from safe homes based on the mere opinion of a
bunch of social workers.
