A convicted felon, who had been staying with the family, had recently been released 
from the Ozaukee County Jail, disappeared along with three young Oostburg girls. The man had a long criminal record. The disappearance of the three young girls, ages 6, 8 and 13 was the subject of an Amber Alert. The man has been arrested and the girls are safe.
Jail staff said the man was booked into the facility at about 10 a.m., just hours after the girls were found in Belgium and Milwaukee.
Sheboygan County sheriff’s authorities say the girls’ mother reported her daughters missing early Monday after she woke up and found they had not returned with the man.
The girls are ages 6, 8 and 13. The girls were found at about 6 a.m.
Ozaukee County authorities contacted people at a Belgium home and determined the 6- and 13-year-old girls were there.

Daphne Wright was arrested and charged with first degree murder of missing Darlene VanderGiesen. Authorities have been searching the landfill for the missing VanderGiesen as they believe she may have been dumped in the trash.
Court papers indicate that Daphne Wright removed carpet and cement blocks from a basement bedroom at her home. Her roommate told police that Wright had left the house with a large plastic garbage bag and may have put the items in a dumpster in the neighborhood.
The home of suspect Daphne Wright was also searched according to court documents and from items found she was arrested.
There, according to court papers, police found samples of human bone, muscle and fat. They matched the DNA from those samples to the DNA of Darlene VanderGiesen. “Evidence found so far has supported an arrest warrant for Miss Wright,” says Sioux Falls Police Chief Doug Barthel.
Court papers show the two women are deaf and knew each other, but the relationship was anything but friendly. Days before VanderGiesen went missing, police say Wright sent VanderGiesen a demeaning and profane message. Wright thought her girlfriend was cheating on her with VanderGiesen.

Yet another terrible situation in New York City with the child welfare agency. It is reported that Administration for Children’s Services caseworkers had visited the apartment where Quachon lived in November 2005 and reported it “to be in order.” Well, once again with the case of children case workers the term “in order” could not have been further from the truth.
A woman and her boyfriend were arrested Tuesday in the alleged beating death of her 4-year-old son, the latest in a recent series of child abuse fatalities that have rattled the city’s child welfare agency.
Alicia Smith, 26, faces a manslaughter charge in the death of Quachon Brown, police said. Her boyfriend, Jose Calderone, 18, was arrested on a second-degree murder charge.
Investigators believe Calderone physically abused the child, a police official said.
In less than two months from when case workers visited the home of Quachon Brown, “in order” became everything but. When police had entered the Bronx apartment they found Quachon dead with what appeared to be a fractured skull and other injuries.
Police responding to a 911 call early Monday found Quachon dead in the family’s filthy Bronx apartment. Investigators think the boy had died Sunday.
Autopsy results were pending, but police said there was preliminary evidence that the child had a fractured skull, a damaged liver and atrophied leg muscles.

When will these stories end and children’s services take their positions more seriously? These people handle cases of the most vulnerable among us. Maybe they should start acting like it.

Illinois Authorities cancelled an Amber alert issued for a 5-year-old girl who was kidnapped by her grandmother late Sunday.
Makayla Christy was found unharmed with her grandmother about 8:40 a.m. in a motel in the outskirts of Granite City, Ill., where she’d been taken from her mother the previous evening.
The 44-year-old grandmother, Deborah McFadden, was being interviewed by authorities and may face kidnapping charges, police said.
Authorities initially believed she was heading for Texas because she drove away with Makayla in a Mercury Sable bearing a Texas license number.
“We traced the call to a motel and found them there,” Miller said. “We arrested the grandmother and returned the girl to her mother.”

Peter Braunstein, 42, wanted for questioning in Halloween night sexual attack on a woman in her Manhattan apartment posing as a city firefighter was captured Friday at the 
University of Memphis in Tennessee.
Police said fashion writer Peter Braunstein, 42, was spotted on the University of Memphis campus by a woman who recognized him from news reports about his fugitive status. She called campus police, who caught up with Braunstein, according to New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne.
“He said, ‘I’m the person you’re looking for,’ and he stabbed himself three times in the neck,” Browne said.
Braunstein was hospitalized in critical condition. Seeing the acts that this man is allegedly responsible for, maybe he was just doing everyone a favor.
New York police had been hunting since early November for the freelance journalist, once a writer for Women’s Wear Daily. Police want to question Braunstein about the attack on a woman by a man who bluffed his way into her apartment after setting two small fires and pounding on her door while dressed in full fire gear.
He bound the woman and molested her for more than 13 hours, police said.
He has not been charged in the attack.
Investigators said they believe Braunstein was obsessed with the victim.
