How Could You? Hall of Shame-Eutawville Foster Father

This will be an archive of heinous actions by those involved in child welfare, foster care and adoption. We forewarn you that these are deeply disturbing stories that may involve sex abuse, murder, kidnapping and other horrendous actions.

From Eutawville, South Carolina, a Eutawville Foster Father “went to jail for third-degree assault and battery after his 16-year-old foster daughter called the Department of Social Services to report that he had injured her.

DSS called the OCSO to check on the residence at 1:25 p.m. on Monday, and the teen told deputies that she was attempted to get some food from the refrigerator when her foster father shoved her out of his way, the report states.

The incident escalated after the teen told her foster father not to knock her out of the way like that.

The two then got into a fist fight, the report states.

The man allegedly told deputies that he struck his foster daughter first by shoving her.

Deputies determined that the foster father was the primary aggressor, “and as an adult had no reason to have a fist fight with a 16-year-old.”

The teen sustained minor injuries to her inner lip and face.

Deputies transported the foster father to the Orangeburg County Detention Center.

DSS removed the teen from the foster care placement for her own safety.”
