Trumbull CSB chief: Agency shares disgust over rape of toddler at its facility

WARREN

The head of the Trumbull County Children Services Board has asked the public to withhold judgment about the agency’s practices “until all the facts are in.”

The agency has come under fire after videos surfaced showing a 1-year-old child in its custody being raped by her parents during a visit at the agency’s offices on Reeves Road.

“Trumbull County Children Services is devastated by this tragedy,” Nick Kerosky says in a letter released Friday. “We find it hard to believe that anyone would do something like this to their own child. We share your disgust and sadness at this unspeakable act.”

The letter adds, “We want to assure you we are doing everything we can to protect children.”

Meanwhile, Cliff Evans, special-agent supervisor for the Youngstown office of the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation, confirmed that BCI will conduct a criminal investigation of CSB employees’ actions regarding the alleged rapes.
