    Mark Ashby, foster parent and accused child molester/abuser

    A southern Illinois foster parent is jailed on $200,000 bond after being accused of inappropriate sexual relations with two girls.

    Williamson County prosecutors charged 29-year-old Mark Ashby of Marion with five sexual assault counts. Investigators also allege that he beat one of the victims.

    The state Department of Children and Family Services says Ashby and his wife have been licensed foster parents since September 2006.

    DCFS spokesman Kendall Marlowe says five foster children had lived in the home before last June, when they were removed by DCFS because of "safety concerns."
    Wonder what the safety concerns were, and why they got the kids back?

    Oh, and of course, the wife swears he will be found innocent. Don't they always?

    This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.

    Nasty, vile man. My heart goes out to these girls. They've obviously been placed with foster parents because of some sort of problem within their own homes. Now, to be abused by their foster "father" as well.

    I hope he rots.
