9 Year-Old Boy Found Alone In Cabin In Wilderness – Child Protective Services Investigating.

Perry County, Indiana--A nine-year old boy was found alone in a remote cabin sixteen miles north of the Ohio River and about a mile from Little Pigeon Creek.

A passerby saw the child, age nine-years old, alone in front of the cabin swinging an ax and immediately called authorities.

A caseworker with Child Protective Services was dispatched. She stated that “It was a clear-cut case of child neglect.”

“The boy, Abraham, was left all alone. When found he had hardly a shirt to cover his back. He had been made to sleep on a bed of poles covered with corn husks.”

“He was forced to live in a log cabin 18 feet square. The cabin didn’t even have a floor,” the caseworker added.

His father, Thomas Lincoln, a carpenter, was away from home at the time. Authorities located him at work making cabinets and took him into custody. He will be charged with neglect of a child, a spokesperson for the district attorney’s office said.

It was reported that the boy’s mother had died recently.

“The boy seemed depressed and dejected,” authorities said. He was removed from the cabin and examined by a psychiatrist.

A spokesperson at the hospital stated that the boy apparently suffers from bi-polar disorder and has been placed on anti-depressants.

“The boy is unusually tall and strong for his age, and he has a wonderful sense of humor. We foresee no problems placing him with a suitable foster family,” a spokesperson for Child Protective Services said.

The governor held a news conference and was asked about the boy. “The child had been allowed to handle an ax and forced to work by his father to split rails for fences. I have instructed the Department of Family and Protective Services to conduct a thorough investigation. It is clearly in the best interest of the child that the state intervene in this matter.”

[Frustrated]

Did you see the word.....Cabin had no floor verus the Dad a Carpenter?

LOL yeah! You gotta love it....this story is twisted, alright....

You see the words are twisted...LIke....mother had died recently and he was placed on anti-depressants?

And? He was tall...and had no problems being placed with Foster Family, Yeah! It is called "Healthy Child". All the criteria to put up for Adoption.

This is sad indeed for this boy, who had lost so much...already.

Just makes me so mad, that they did not even put up a Saftey plan or Service Plan? .....all the signs are there, and this boy is easy prey to put in for Adoption. Very easy!

[Frustrated]

I forgot to mention that...CPS Doctor LOVES to diagnose this boy, having no mother...and put it "BI POLAR"....yeah right...all the more reasons to put in Foster Care where there is about 80% of the Children placed in Foster Care had ADHD< ADD< Bipolar...

How convienet.......
