A mother in Georgia claims county officials are hiding a pattern of abuse at a youth shelter.
A Georgia mother has taken a stand against a county district attorney and child services, accusing them of trying to hide the actions of a serial child abuser. The woman claims that her 13-year-old daughter was sexually assaulted by an employee at a youth shelter. According to Atlanta Black Star, the incident occurred in 2022 at a Clayton County nonprofit, formerly known as Rainbow House, where the woman's daughter sought refuge.

Determined to seek justice for her daughter, the woman has filed a lawsuit against the employee, Caleb Randolph, and his mother, Mia Kimber, who was the former director of Rainbow House. However, her legal action doesn't stop there. She's also accusing several state and local officials of being involved in a cover-up of the abuse allegations against multiple young girls. The plaintiff, referred to as "A.C.," has named Tasha Mosley, the current Clayton County district attorney, and Jeffrey Turner, the former chair of the Clayton County Commission, as part of the alleged conspiracy to conceal the abuse. It's worth noting that Mosley previously served as a board chair for Rainbow House while the commission funded the organization.

In May 2024, Randolph was convicted of statutory rape for the grooming and sexual exploitation of a teenage girl at the shelter, identified as "A.C." The lawsuit also claims that the defendants failed to report the abuse claims, which has led to racketeering allegations. The plaintiff's attorneys have made a joint statement, saying, "This case isn't just about one predator; it's about a network of power that enabled him. The District Attorney knew, Rainbow House leadership knew, the Department of Family & Children Services knew, and many others knew. They didn't just look the other way – they actively covered up the repeated sexual abuse of a 13-year-old girl. This wasn't just negligence; it was complicity."

Rainbow House served as an emergency shelter for children until its closure in 2023. A.C. was initially relocated to a facility in May 2022 by Child Services, with the goal of providing a safe environment and support for children removed from their family situations. However, instead of finding protection, A.C. was allegedly subjected to sexual abuse and exploitation by Randolph. Shockingly, instead of reporting the molestation, Randolph was fired for "violation of policy" and then rehired a week later.

The lawsuit states that the individuals involved were aware of the abuse but took no steps to remove Randolph from his position. In fact, it's reported that he also molested another young girl at Rainbow House. The plaintiff's attorneys have also accused Mosley of not launching a proper investigation into the claims. At the time, Mosley was a prosecutor for Clayton County. However, she has denied any wrongdoing, stating to Fox 5 Atlanta, "The Board of Directors was not responsible for the day-to-day operations of Rainbow House; thus, it was not involved in any manner with staffing other than the hiring of the Executive Director. I was not the Chair of the BOD when M. Kimber was hired, but the BOD was notified by the Chair at the time that Ms. Kimber passed all required background screens."

Unfortunately, it wasn't until a whistleblower complaint was made that the mother and son were finally arrested. Kimber is currently facing a charge for one count of Cruelty to Children, while her son is serving a 17-year prison sentence. "This little girl was a child in crisis, placed in state care to be protected, but instead, was exploited, hidden away, and ignored," stated the plaintiff's attorneys. "Rainbow House and multiple people in power preyed on the most vulnerable — children with no stable homes, no consistent records, and often no one looking out for them. These weren't just isolated failures; this was a deliberate targeting of kids who could disappear without anyone asking questions. That's what makes this so dangerous and so evil, and we believe there are many more victims."

In an unrelated incident, Spike Lee's Golden Jordan 3s have ended up in a homeless shelter and are now up for auction. It's a stark reminder of the importance of protecting and caring for vulnerable children in our society.
