Heading: H.'s Life History and Allegations of Abuse and Inappropriate Conduct

Text: C.H. had a troubled upbringinghe had been in foster care since he was about 2 years old. When C.H. became available for adoption at age 14, he was living in a foster home with other children in Laurens County. In July 2003, Defendant Braddy visited C.H. at the foster home and was told by a male foster child that C.H. had touched him on the chest. Braddy's documents indicate that some child (uncertainty exists about whether it was a different child) also said C.H. asked him to go behind the school and let C.H. bounce on his lap. These comments, according to Braddy's notes, made the child (or maybe the two children) feel uncomfortable. In response to the reported conduct, Braddy recommended wrap around services, which means C.H. wouldand didreceive therapy while in the foster home. Other record evidence indicates C.H.before later going into the Templeton's homehad at times been physically violent and threatening to peers and adults. [2] In March 2004, C.H.'s then-foster mother contacted Braddy and said she had found a pouch hidden in C.H.'s room. The pouch included pictures of naked men and women, as well as photos of C.H.'s genitals. The foster mother said a child had reported that C.H. had shown him some of the photos of C.H.'s genitals.
