18 Months Old, Sexually Abused (allegedly) & Beaten To Death In Maplewood

KARA reportingMike TikkanenApril 22, 2015

Republished from the Kids at Risk Action archive as written. No images from the original corpus appear in any form.

Genisis Xiong is the 8th child murdered in MN by a caregiver since Eric Dean’s death in early 2013 and the 57th child to die of maltreatment since 2005.

The only positive is that the media and public attention absent (for decades) children murdered by their caregivers is now making front page news & driving the Governor to speak out and form a task force to study child protection issues.  

Let’s hope those recommendations are enacted by the legislature and the Star Tribune (article on 18 month old Genisis Xiong death today) and other news media stay on top of child safety in our state.
