Adopted 7YO Beat Bound Starved - Dillsburg Pennsylvania, Nathaniel Craver / Ivan Skorobogatov

York County, Dillsburg, PA - DA Seeks Death Penalty http://www.ydr.com/ci_15150451?IADID=Search-www.ydr.com-www.ydr.com and http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2010/05/death_penalty_sought_in_ad...
This is what they do in the York County area, beat and abuse women and children and locals, officials, and police help cover it up. PA's "old fashioned country values".
Nathaniel Craver born Ivan Skorobogatov, Dillsburg Pennsylvania. Pathologist Testimony at PreTrial Hearing April 29 2010. (Related: Russia Wants Right to Prosecute U.S. Parents http://www.themoscowtimes.com/news/article/russia-wants-right-to-prosecute-us... ).
Starved, beaten and possibly bound are the findings of a forensic pathologist who examined the body of 7-year-old Nathaniel Craver.
Dr. Wayne K. Ross testified Thursday at the preliminary hearing for the Russian-born boy's adoptive parents - Michael and Nanette Craver of Carroll Township - who are both charged with criminal homicide, endangering the welfare of a child and criminal conspiracy. They remain in York County Prison without bail.
At the hearing before District Judge Richard Thomas in Carroll Township, northern York County, Ross testified to the boy's injuries for almost 2½ hours. At the end of 4½ hours of total testimony and argument, Thomas bound the Cravers over for trial on all charges.
Nathaniel died Aug. 25, 2009, at Hershey Medical Center from complications of traumatic brain injury coupled with a severe "failure to thrive," Ross said. Nathaniel was placed into care by York County Children and Youth Services in 2007. During that period, he received medical examinations including blood tests and a bone scan. Ross said he was able to compare those results with his autopsy findings.
Ross said the injuries to Nathaniel's swollen head were caused by repetitive blunt force trauma. He made the same observation as to the numerous bruises on the boy's arms, legs, chest, abdomen and torso. The only part of the boy's body the pathologist did not take note of was the bottom of his feet.
Pictures taken at Hershey Medical Center by Carroll Township Police Sgt. John Schreiner reportedly showed an emaciated boy with gauze covering his head where surgeons had removed a piece of his skull to relieve the pressure on his swollen brain.
The exhibits - 18 hospital and autopsy photos and a cat scan - were passed by Barker to the defense attorneys and the district justice. They were not visible to onlookers in the courtroom.
Ross said the boy "looked like he was starved to death" and had "less than a millimeter" of body fat at the time of his death.
The pathologist said the boy's face and head were distorted by swelling and looked "like a balloon." Nathaniel also had a "classic cauliflower ear" normally seen on a wrestler, he said.
Ross's other findings included anemia, brain scarring, indications that the boy's shoulders and hips had been dislocated and that he had been bound at the wrists and ankles. He said the time of the injuries ranged from the 24 hours before being taken to the hospital to up to two months earlier.
Sandra Atkins, Michael Craver's aunt, testified she visited the Craver home a week before Nathaniel was taken to the hospital and "I nearly cried." She said the left side of the boy's face was "very, very swollen." "His little eyes were swollen and almost shut," she said. She described Nathaniel as lethargic and "not playing like he normally would." Instead, the boy "sat on my lap and put his arms around my neck most of the time I was there." She said she noticed a healing scar on the back of Nathaniel's head and asked her nephew about it. "Michael said he throws himself down and he bawls and he rubs his eyes," Atkins said. She said Nathaniel whispered in her ear, "Needle"
Ross suggested deferring the psychological questions to an expert in that field. He then explained that anyone seeing Nathaniel over a period of time would have noticed the drastic change in his appearance and health.
Ross said the final injury to Nathaniel's head that necessitated taking him to the hospital required "hundreds of pounds of force." He added the bruising patterns on the boy's head, back and abdomen "were inconsistent with self-abuse." http://www.ydr.com/ci_14983263

11-21-2011. Russia May Issue International Arrest Warrant on Couple After Judge Lets them Walk in York County, Dillsburg, PA on Friday.

Every U.S. parent who's child has been tortured, raped, murdered in state custody can relate to this. They always walk.

Perhaps the Russians will get justice for one of their own, as will NOT happen in the U.S., esp Pedsylvania.

Sept 1, 2011. Secret jury selection held in local Russian adopted child death case. A York County judge said info was withheld from court calendar + dockets intentionally. Anyone disputing this can appeal to a higher court. Trial begins Sept 6 - ydr (dot) com/crime/ci_18797513

I doubt this precious child will get justice in York County PA, where even officials protect their own. Foster/adoptive parents claim the little boy killed himself - 100+ injuries, 20 to brain, emaciated body?! Hang them!

[mamasuntwinkle]

Time + again, court + county officials have intervened to protect Children and Youth Services + other insiders from scrutiny and blame while kids continue to be hurt. York County in central PA where a 7yo Russian boy was beaten to death by his adoptive parents has a long history of negligence involving its Children and Youth Services

July 3, 2011. DA takes death penalty off the table for parents of Russian boy; York, PA - The parents of a dead 7-year-old adopted Russian boy no longer face the death penalty if convicted of first-degree murder

Why, it goes higher??!! 80+ injuries, 20 to his head ! Outrageous, shocking, typical of foster "care". The government will never prosecute their own, they become liable AND the manure goes deep and high.

God Help us. This is too much.

@deadly32 - "Churches" = main player in adoption/social services/child trafficking racket. Baby trafficking in god's name - Blasphemy by The Whores of Babylon. - Ivan/ Nathaniel was adopted from Dom Rebyonka #9 in Troitsk, Chelyabinsk region. He was placed through LUTHERN SOCIAL SERVICES of the South, Austin, Tx. LSS lost its accreditation on May 20, 2005 + closed its Russian program. The adoption took place when LSS was accredited. bastardette blogspot

This is absolutely horrid. How many stupid people are in this world? This reminds me - and this is going to sound like an anti-adoption rant - but it's not - of my studies in evolutionary biology - we are related to our children by 1/2, our grandchildren by 1/4, etc In nature parents care for those they are related to but neglect the others. There are only a few reliable instances of caring for young when there is no relatedness. As humans we are supposed to be able to overcome this selfishness.

I get angry when I hear child abuse and even more when they're torture and killed. No money in the world would make me defend a case like that if I was a lawyer, couldn't live with that.

[thegreat101nt]

they should take that dam paper from that womans face. that bitch doesnt deserve any dignity for what she'd done to that poor defenseless boy. cant believe they gave that bitch paper. their punishment should be the exact same thing they did to him. and make it slow and painful.

[devolutionone]

I would prefer to get an abortion then to give a child to adoption, I believe that kid would have prefer that too. R.I.P. Little angel

This is so tragic for any child anywhere to endure. I hope the parents have the full measure of the law thrown at them.

I have worked in a Russian orphanage and I assure you that this kind of thing goes on even in the orphanages. I witnessed beatings, starvation, and exposure as one child was left naked in the corner to die. Children all over the world are abused by parents and caretakers so we must all be active in stopping it and prosecuting it to the fullest extent of the law.
