Teen Who Found Injured Girl Now Charged With Assaulting Her
September 22, 2009 by Morbid
WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah – On September 11th, a 17-year-old boy was taking a break from cutting the grass when he heard a the cries of a little girl. He then spotted the body of a 6-year-old girl lying bleeding and naked in his neighbor’s backyard near a trampoline and a fence. The teen alerted his 16-year-old sister as well as some neighbors and 911 was called. During their investigation police brought the teen and his family to the West Valley City police station for further questioning. The boy’s father, Don Bullock, who adopted the boy when he was 6, was a bit miffed at this stating his boy should be treated as a hero. “It turned into they were interrogating him as a suspect. I think that was wrong. We know he had nothing to do with it He did the right thing, he got that girl some help.” Well it turns out that the teen will be treated as something else entirely after he confessed to not only finding the little girl, but also being responsible for luring her into his yard, choking her until she passed out, sexually assaulting her and then giving her the old heave-ho into the neighbor’s yard.
The teen has now been charged with aggravated kidnapping, aggravated sexual abuse of a child and two counts of sodomy upon a child with injury and one count of second-degree felony aggravated assault. These charges make the teen eligible for adult court under the state’s serious youth offender statute. The entire story is pretty fucked up, and it starts long before this incident. Seems as if the boy and his sister were sexually abused by their biological parents, both physically and sexually, to such an extent that they both have mental disabilities directly connected to the abuse they endured. Bullock, who volunteers with a Boy Scout group for disabled, said his son has learning disabilities, and behavioral issues in the past including “inappropriate behavior“. The details of this behavior has not been reported, but their neighbor was told that an incident had occurred between the boy and a girl, but it was not relayed as anything serious or sexual in nature.
The boy’s story of just finding the girl was immediately doubted by investigators who noticed that the boy and his clothing matched that description the girl gave of her attacker. They also noticed dark brown spots on the shirt he was wearing at the time, and that he had scratch marks on his face and neck and an abrasion on his right knee. The teen eventually confessed stating that he lured her into his yard telling her the friend she was looking for was there. He then pushed her down and began choking her because “he wanted her to sleep or something“. Once she was unconscious, he removed her pants and performed two sex acts on her, but did not have sexual intercourse with her. Thinking she was dead, he chucked her over the fence and into the neighbor’s backyard. When she began crying, he concocted the story of finding her there. After police arrested the teen, he apologized for his actions asking that someone “tell the little girl I am sorry for what I did to her.” His adoptive father has not commented since his arrest.
This story just sucks for everyone involved. The little girl and her family, as well as the teen and his. I feel the boy should be charged as an adult as his actions were heinous and he obviously new what he was doing was wrong, but still…I cannot help feel a little bad for the boy only in the fact that his life could have turned out so much differently, along with this little girl, had his birth parents not been such vile pieces of shit.

Poor little angel, just 6 years old. And I agree, a teen who learned as a child that this is what you do with your sexual urges. He is a product of his upbringing, and now he will spend the rest of his life suffering for it. You are right Morbid, this is just sad in all regards.

Its sad how history repeats itself.I have seen how damaging sexual abuse can be to children including attempted suicide of a 4 yr old.And yes I know many dont believe that can happen but it dioes.It took yrs of councelling for the person to get beyond what happened to them but they have and are adults now contributing to society with great education and great job.I just hope this little girl gets the same b/c it will depend on how shes handled.The boy that attacked her is also a victim to a point on the fact of huis abuse I just hope they all get councelling to prevent history from repeating its self. n/c n

Oh, man. I don’t even know what to say about this one…turns my stomach. That poor little girl. And those biological parents? Hope they fucking burn. This kid needs to be institutionalized, or something. He sounds scary.

I’m feeling the 6 yr olds parents guilt – They will be blaiming their selves – They also will need counseling – were all living in our own prisons – One thing I learned from DD, how often and how much this type thing happens, way too fucking much… You just can’t leave your kids unsupervised even when they are 30 and up …. to many crazeeeee fucks around.
I am so Happy that little girl didn’t die and is able to talk about what happen to her. great Job little one, you were able to give a decription of the person that did that to you. Way to go Girly!

The callousness of this one really got to me. First the teenage boy and his sister with mental disabilities directly connected to abuse they received at the hands of their parents. Then this boy’s display of total disregard for human life as he just tossed this girl over the fence like last week’s garbage. I’m surprised attempted murder wasn’t added to the charges. I’m very interested to see how this turns out.

Anyone have issues with the agencies involved like CPS that released these damaged goods with prior history on an unsuspecting community.
5:27 pm on September 23rd, 2009
What prior history? The part of his life where he was abused by his own parents? Are you saying that adoption agencies or CPS should notify communities whenever a sexually abused child is living in it? Seriously? This kid was 6-years-old when he was adopted by his current father. You cannot possibly be suggesting that abused children should be outed are you? That a community be warned of a sexually abused 6-year-old boy moving in?
Aside from the father informing the neighbor of an incident involving his son and another girl (that as far as we know was never reported to any officials at all), I have read no reports of this boy having a past history of doing anything like this. Have you? If so, please get me a link to the info so I can update the story.

Thank you Morbid, you took the words right out of my mouth! I am raising 8 of *those kids* and they deserve a second chance at life…. not to be ousted because of what HAPPENED to them!
This story is horrific, and it took me all day to make myself read it. It is sickening and sad on so many levels. But to say this 17yr old did this because he was abused as a child is an unfair judgment for survivors of abuse.

Just going by what you wrote

Yeah, and no where in there did anything imply a past history that CPS would have been aware of – or warrant an “unsuspecting community” being warned of a 6-year-old “damaged goods” being introduced into it. I think this is just more examples of your complete lack of reading comprehension.

I am social worker who works with children ages 4-18, many of whom have been physically, mentally, sexually abused. I work for a mental health agency so ALL of the kids I work with have been diagnosed with a “mental disability” which in many cases could be directly related to past abuse. These “mental disabilities are depression, PTSD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, etc. MOST of these kids are not going to end up with the extreme and scary diagnoses I imagine people are thinking of like multiple personalities, antisocial personality disorder, reactive attachment disorder…those are not that common. So to say these kids should have been outed to the community based on “mental disability” related to abuse is ridiculous…they could just have depression or PTSD, that does not make them a danger to society.
Its unfortunate what this kid did but the actions of this one abused kid does not predict the actions of all abused kids.

Thanks for the explanation and clearing that up for me

Booo fuckin hooo. I don’t have one ounce of sympathy for this piece of shit. Yes, okay a terrible up bringing prior to foster care, but he is well old enought to know that what happend to him was wrong, shouldn;t have happened and wasn’t his fault, so to do the same thing to this baby is insane.
I think it’s fucked up that people always bring up a criminals childhood when a crime is commited, which I feel is so irrelavant when the fuckers are adults and know right from wrong. Believe we will hear about him again in the near futuer on DD.
Now this baby has to live traumatized and have a hard time trusting men. The cycle just continues. Yes people we all hadsomething in our childhood that we wish we could change, but guess what you have to get over it and deal with the fact that life goes on and make up for the past by doing the opposite of what you feel is/was wrong.
Lock him up and throw away the key.I hope she gets the support she need in life.

A mental disability is not the same thing as retardation. The only one I can associate with this one is . (Lack of sympahy & empathy & often all emotion)It’s often the same as calling drug addiction and alcoholism as disease. It’s a choice.(I struggle with it every day) At 6 he may have been far too gone to learn life values and morals but after 11 years he should have picked up a tad (unless he’s a sociopath). A mental disability and a learning disability are just way too vauge for me here. Does he lack only math skills or actual life comprehension. I know of a child with a learning disability that is strictly related to math but can read to you 3 levels higher than grade.People think down-syndrome lack of comprehension yet that is often not the case.(And our children are on far too many medications as well) It would be intresting to know the exacts there. In my prayers tonight for strength from god little one.
