NOBLESVILLE -- The mother of a 16-year-old boy that prosecutors and police
say was molested by a former Child Protective Services caseworker,
testified in court today that she had no problem with the worker spending
time alone with her son.

The 35-year-old woman reported that she met Cory Heinzman, 38, of Arcadia,
when the caseworker came to her house in August 2003. She said the
assistant principal at her son's school had filed a child abuse report,
and Child Protective Services assigned Heinzman to investigate.
The woman said her then-13-year-old son went into a residential treatment
center in April 2004. After the boy's release in August 2004, he and
Heinzman started spending nearly every Friday night together. Their
relationship eventually evolved into the boy spending the night at
Heinzman's house.
"I thought it would be OK," the woman told the 12-person jury in Hamilton
County Superior Court 2.
In April 2005, the time that the boy and Heinzman were together began
tapering off, the woman said.
Then on May 2, 2005, during an argument between the boy and his mother,
the boy made a statement accusing Heinzman of molesting him.
One of Heinzman's two attorneys, Rodney Sarkovics, asked the woman if her
son ever said anything negative about Heinzman.
"Nothing that (her son) said ever caused me any concern," the woman
answered.
It is the policy of the Noblesville Ledger to generally not publish the
names of sexual-assault victims.
Dr. Phillip Merk, a professor of clinical pediatrics and clinical medicine
who practices at the Pediatric Center of Hope in Indianapolis, testified
that his examination of the boy in May 2005 found no signs of trauma from
molestation. Merk explained, though, that any signs of molestation are
likely to be nonexistent 96 hours after an occurrence.
Heinzman has been charged with 15 felonies, including child molestation
and sexual misconduct with a minor, as well as 14 misdemeanors, all for
official misconduct.
The other alleged victim in the case was expected to take the stand late
this afternoon, the second day of testimony in the trial.









CURRENTLY CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES VIOLATES MORE CIVIL RIGHTS ON A DAILY
BASIS THEN ALL OTHER AGENCIES COMBINED INCLUDING THE NATIONAL SECURITY
AGENCY/CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY WIRETAPPING PROGRAM....

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.
