A Brownwood woman was arrested this week on an indictment for the sexual
assault of a foster child who was in her care.
Phylecia Bien, 26, was indicted May 1 on a charge of sexual assault of a
child in a case involving a 16-year-old male foster child in her care in
2005. The incident reportedly occurred in 2005 when he was 16 and lived
with her for a month, police said.
"The alleged victim made an outcry to Child Protective Services," said
Sgt. Troy Carroll of the Brownwood Police Department.
Bien was arrested on a sealed indictment Tuesday and booked in to the
Brown County Jail and was released Wednesday on a $25,000 bond.
This is the second time Bien, formerly known as Phylecia Humphries, has
been indicted on a charge of aggravated sexual assault of a child.
Bien was indicted on Jan. 10, for sexual assault of a child involving
another 15-year-old male who was a foster child in her care in 2005. She
was arrested and released on a $25,000 bond. The indictment followed a
DNA test that was taken during the investigation from the alleged
victim, that was compared to DNA from a baby Bien had in June of 2006.
"The test proved that there was 99.998 chance that the child was related
to the alleged victim," Carroll said.
The January case is still pending in the 35th District Court in Brown
County.
Officials at CPS said that Bien was not licensed through the Texas
Department of Family and Protective Services.
"This home was licensed through a child placement agency," said Shari
Pulliam, a spokeswoman for CPS. "She is no longer a foster parent, and
CPS has not placed any children in that home in quite some time."
This the second indictment handed down this month involving alleged
inappropriate relationships between a woman and a teenage boy.
Last week, a former teacher at Early High School turned herself in to
police after being indicted on a charge of having an inappropriate
relationship with an 18-year-old male student at Early High School.
Joy Blackstock, 23, of Brownwood, was indicted May 1 by the Brown County
grand jury. The indictment was sealed until she turned herself in May 8.
Blackstock, a choral teacher at Early High School, was released on a
$15,000 bond.
Blackstock was charged with improper relations between an educator and
student, a second-degree felony. If convicted, Blackstock faces two to
20 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
Police said she confessed after being confronted with the allegation by
Early High School Principal Bobby Fryar on April 4. She resigned from
EISD that day. Police said she confessed to "some sexual contact" with
the student, whom they declined to name.
An Inconvenient Truth about Child Protective Services, Foster care, and
the Child Protection "INDUSTRY"
Child Protective Services Does not protect children...
It is sickening how many children are subject to abuse, neglect and even
killed at the hands of CPS.
every parent should read the free handbook from
connecticut dcf watch...
http://www.connecticutdcfwatch.com
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/Foster care 160, biological Parents 59
Sexual Abuse CPS/Foster care 112, biological Parents 13
Neglect CPS/Foster care 410, biological Parents 241
Medical Neglect CPS/Foster care 14 biological Parents 12
Fatalities CPS/Foster care 6.4, biological 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.
THIS IS AMERICA'S HIDDEN HOLOCAUST
Currently Child Protective Services violates more constitutionally
guaranteed liberties & civil rights on a daily basis then all other
agencies combined, Including the National Security agency/Central
intelligence agency wiretaping programs…

A recent study has found that 12-18 months after leaving foster care:
30% of the nation’s homeless are former foster children.
27% of the males and 10% of the females had been incarcerated
33% were receiving public assistance
37% had not finished high school
2% receive a college degree
50% were unemployed
Children in foster care are three to six times more likely than children
not in care to have emotional, behavioral and developmental problems,
including conduct disorders, depression, difficulties in school and
impaired social relationships. Some experts estimate that about 30% of
the children in care have marked or severe emotional problems. Various
studies have indicated that children and young people in foster care
tend to have limited education and job skills, perform poorly in school
compared to children who are not in foster care, lag behind in their
education by at least one year, and have lower educational attainment
than the general population.

80 percent of prison inmates have been through the foster care system.

of the Department of Health and Human Services, is a former child
psychologist who says the foster care system is a giant mess and should
just be blown up.

Four rigorous studies have found that at least 30 percent of America’s
foster children could be home right now if their parents had decent
housing.
This study found thousands of children already in foster care who would
have done better had child protection agencies not taken them away in
the first place.
