One-Time Religious Publisher, Foster Parent Charged With Sex Abuse Of Two Girls - Illinois
RIVER FOREST, Ill. (STMW) – A River Forest man who took in dozens of foster children since 1996 and volunteered with local youth groups was charged Friday with the sexual abuse of two girls.
Robert L. Gaskill, 63, of the 600 block of Ashland Ave., was ordered held Saturday in lieu of $50 million full cash bond by Judge Gregory P. Vasquez.
In bond court Saturday, prosecutors said Gaskill sexually abused two adolescent girls over a period from 1996 to 2009.
He is scheduled to be arraigned at 9 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 9, at the Maybrook Courthouse in Maywood. Sources said the case is expected to go to a grand jury for possible formal indictment.
A River Forest detective assisted by members of the WEDGE task force arrested Gaskill at his home Thursday. On Friday the Cook County State’s Attorney approved two counts of predatory criminal sexual assault, which is a Class X felony.
Gaskill and his wife have operated a foster care service in their large three-story frame home on Ashland Avenue, and a foster care support system called Tapestry Chicago. He also served on the board of the River Forest Youth Soccer program and was a program coordinator in the late 1990s.
Gaskill currently works as the marketing director at Lydia Home in Chicago, a residential facility for abused children. He previously worked for Mercy Home for Boys and Girls in Chicago.
Gaskill is also a former publisher of the Oak Leaves/Pioneer Press West Group, where he worked for 16 years until the mid 1980s. Following that, he was the president and publisher of Chicago Catholic Publications, which publishes the Chicago Archdiocese’s official newspaper, the New World.
Gaskill was not currently an employee of the Catholic New World or New World Publications, Archdiocese of Chicago spokeswoman Susan Burritt said Saturday. She did not immediately have any information on when he had served as publisher for Chicago Catholic Publications.
In a 2009 interview with the Forest Leaves, Gaskill said he and his wife had “been opening their home to foster children for about 15 years.” Many of them had disabilities of some kind.
He said he had fostered “about 75 different children over that time.”
In 2009, the Gaskills had 12 children, four biological, six adopted and two in foster care.
“Long before we got married, while we were dating, we both agreed we wanted to have large families,” Rob Gaskill said in 2009. “We thought it would be fun to have a lot of children.”

Suisun City foster father, Solano County, others sued in boy's death
By Ryan Chalk
A Suisun City foster parent facing a homicide charge in connection with the death of an infant last year is now facing a civil lawsuit from the child's mother, according to documents filed in Solano County Superior Court.
An attorney for Vallejo resident Christina Bito filed the civil lawsuit last week and seeks an unspecified amount in monetary damages for what the filing describes as a "willful and malicious" assault on the child she surrendered at birth. Also named in the lawsuit are the foster parent, Reginald Tanubagijo, his wife, Tammy, Solano County, the child's biological father and up to 100 others yet to be identified.
Suisun City police arrested Tanubagijo on suspicion of felony child abuse Nov. 30, 2010, the day after police and emergency personnel were called to his Youngstown Lane home, where they found an unresponsive infant, identified as Christian Bito Ocampo, according to court papers. The homicide charge was added after the 3-month-old infant died at the hospital a week later.
Surrendered at birth, county officials granted custody of the child to Tanubagijo and his wife, both of whom are approved foster care providers.
Tanubagijo, who is free on bail, was in court on the criminal charge this week. Judge E. Bradley Nelson ordered him back in two weeks for the setting of a probable-cause hearing. Tanubagijo's attorney has proclaimed his innocence and characterized the child's death as accidental.
Nelson, at Tanubagijo's earlier bail hearing, acknowledged his significant ties to the community and lack of a criminal record in his decision to set bail in the homicide case. His attorney also referenced numerous letters of recommendation for being "phenomenal foster parents."
Bito's wrongful death claim is seeking damages for medical and hospital expenses, burial and funeral costs, loss of love, society and comfort of the child. The lawsuit also claims that the county and others were negligent in the hiring and training of Tanubagijo.
Bito's claim alleges the child died as a result of Tanubagijo's assault with the intent to do harm and/or the conscious disregard of the child's safety. The court filing does not detail why the child was entrusted to the Tanubagijo's care.
Tanubagijo, or an attorney representing him, has not yet filed a response to Bito's wrongful death claim. A case management conference was set for May.

County Commission approves $267,000 settlement in foster care lawsuit
By Joe Schoenmann
Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2011 | 12:01 p.m.
Clark County will pay $267,000 to three children allegedly neglected and sexually abused while in foster care.
Steve Sisolak was the only commissioner to question the pre-trial settlement. He made sure wording was added to the payment to mandate as much counseling as needed for the three children, who were pre-teens during the time of the incident, even if that means cutting attorney fees.
"It's a small sum for what these kids went through," he said later. "These kids are really subjected to some horrors. It is a terrible shame."
Little information about the children or what happened to them was provided in county documentation. A case filed on the matter in U.S. District Court alleges that the abuse occurred in 2004. Attorneys were hired for the children's biological parent in 2009.
According to court documents, the foster parent was accused of denying medical care and providing poor supervision, which may have led to sexual abuse of a child or children by a man who was a registered sex offender in Nevada.
In return for the settlement, the plaintiffs, Tim D. Fullmer, et al., has agreed to dismiss their lawsuit against the county.
Foster care in Clark County has for years been the focus of intense scrutiny. In the mid-2000s, stories of children who died in foster care led to a resignation and the hiring of Tom Morton in 2006 to take over.
Morton, credited with helping turn Alabama‚s child welfare system into a national model, arguably improved the system, decreasing caseloads per case worker and ending the warehousing of children in Child Haven.
Morton resigned in August, citing increasing fiscal pressures and a trend indicating that cases per caseworker were once again on the rise, a trend he blamed on the need to cut staff in the face of budget cuts.

Police: Youth Home Worker Admits To Sex Abuse
By Jay Ditzer/WLKY.com
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- A Louisville man is facing multiple sex abuse charges after police said he told them he abused a juvenile foster child in his care.
According to arrest records, 55-year-old Lyle C. Kenobbie turned himself in to Metro Police around 10 p.m. Monday.
Police said Kenobbie admitted he sodomized and fondled a child in his custody.
Kenobbie told police he is suicidal, according to arrest records.
Kenobbie is employed by Boys Haven of Louisville, according to arrest records.
He is charged with four counts of third-degree sodomy and two counts of first-degree sexual abuse.
On Tuesday afternoon, Boys and Girls Haven CEO Jeff Hadley released a statement regarding Kenobbie's arrest:
"We are saddened by the allegations against Mr. Kenobbie, and we accepted his resignation last night.
"For more than 60 years, Boys and Girls Haven has been deeply committed to protecting thousands of vulnerable children. We absolutely do not tolerate any behavior, alleged or substantiated, that compromises that trust.
"Mr. Kenobbie had been a long-time employee, serving as a food services supervisor. Three months ago, he became a foster parent for our agency after completing a battery of background checks.
"Our thoughts and concerns are with the young person involved. We will continue to work cooperatively with state child-welfare officials and law-enforcement personnel in this matter."
