Duggar family under investigation, refuses to let official check on child: 911 call
BY Meg Wagner  NEW YORK DAILY NEWS  Wednesday, June 10, 2015
Arkansas' Department of Human Services is investigating the Duggar family, according to a worker who called 911 when the family refused to let him check in on a child.

Arkansas officials are again investigating the Duggars — but the ultraconservative family isn't cooperating.

A Department of Human Services worker called 911 last month after the Duggars — entangled in oldest son Josh's molestation scandal — refused to let him check in on a child inside the house, according records newly obtained by In Touch Weekly.

The caller told the dispatcher he visited the home as part of a DHS investigation into the "19 Kids & Counting" family....

Duggars were investigated by DHS in May and 911 was called, new report claims
Published June 10, 2015

A new report by In Touch claims the Duggar family was being investigated as recently as May 27, and a 911 call regarding the Duggars was placed on that date by a Washington County Department of Human Services (DHS) worker because the DHS was allegedly being denied access to a minor in the family. 

The call was supposedly just days after a May 19 report by In Touch revealed Josh Duggar had sexually abused five females – including four sisters -- when he was 14 or 15 back in 2002 and 2003. Josh Duggar, his parents, and two of his sisters—Jessa Seewald and Jill Dillard—have since spoken openly about the abuse.

After the revelations about the Duggars hit the web, the Arkansas Department of Human Services reportedly launched a new investigation into the family made famous by the TV show “19 Kids and Counting.”

The latest issue of In Touch magazine contains a transcript of the 911 call that was allegedly made regarding the Duggar family. In supposed printed transcript of the call, the caller identifies the home they are calling about by saying “Address is the Duggar family home.”....

Nova Scotia woman 'tortured' for years by family speaks out
WARNING: This story contains graphic details that may be disturbing to some readers




By Angela MacIvor, Susan Allen, CBC News Posted: May 28, 2014

Two Nova Scotia registered nurses who run a human rights advocacy group are speaking out about domestic "torture" cases with the help of a woman victim who first sparked the issue for them more than 20 years ago.

"We tried to find people to help her and no one really wanted to. About three sessions into her work, we realized she was a torture survivor because her story went way beyond abuse, so we stayed with her and we helped her heal," said Linda MacDonald.

MacDonald and fellow registered nurse Jeanne Sarson are the founders of Persons Against NST (Non-State Torture).

They say their first foray into looking at domestic torture began in 1993 when Sarson took a call from a woman in her late 20s who goes by the name Sara....

Sara, who is now 50 years old and uses a pseudonym to protect her identity, alleges she was starved, drugged, confined, beaten and raped by her own parents from the time she was a young child....

Over the years, Sarson and MacDonald say they've helped more than 3,000 victims of NST around the globe, including about a dozen or so cases in Nova Scotia. 

MacDonald says counselling can continue for two to three years. In some cases, they work with victims for over a decade....

Central-Colombia shaman arrested for ‘drugging and raping at least 50 women’
Posted by Torkan Omari on Jun 5, 2015
A shaman from central Colombia was arrested on Thursday on charges he drugged and raped at least 50 women between 2008 and 2012.

Edgar Orlando Gaitan, known as “El Taita”, is accused of using his position as a shaman to sexually abuse women who came to him to perform spiritual rituals in which the native “Yage” or “Ayahuasca” drug was used.

During the ritual, the participants visiting him in La Vega, Cundinamarca drank the brew made out of various plants.

However, according to prosecutors, Gaitan mixed the traditional drug with a substance that made women fall asleep after which he sexually abused his victims....
The suspect has denied the charges.
