Agape Boarding School’s longtime leader recently filed for a temporary restraining order against the state to keep his name off Missouri’s Central Registry for child abuse and neglect.
Bryan Clemensen filed a motion for the restraining order on Nov. 22 in Cole County Circuit Court. The next day, Judge Brian Stumpe granted the order and the Missouri Department of Social Services, which maintains the registry, received a summons.
“It is therefore Ordered that Respondent be and is hereby restrained from listing Petitioner on the Missouri Child Abuse and Neglect Central Registry,” according to a docket entry on the state’s online court database.
It is not clear, however, whether Clemensen’s name was ever placed on the registry or if his request for a temporary restraining order was to keep it from going on. Stumpe’s ruling said the order would expire in 15 days if not further extended by the court.
The online court docket indicates that Clemensen plans to pursue another appeal. He did not respond Thursday to a request for comment.
Missouri’s Central Registry contains the names of people who, through a DSS investigation, have been determined “to be perpetrators of child abuse and/or neglect,” according to the state’s child welfare agency. People are put on the registry for findings of physical, sexual or emotional abuse, or educational and medical neglect.
According to the state: “An individual’s name will be added to the (registry) if the Children’s Division case investigation yields a finding of preponderance of evidence, probable cause, reason to suspect, or court adjudication that abuse and/or neglect did occur.”
Earlier this year, DSS substantiated multiple findings of child abuse/neglect against Clemensen and two other Agape employees. Clemensen appealed and an administrative hearing was scheduled for Nov. 17. The outcome of that hearing is not known.

Sounds like a corrupt judge.
I would be careful on this one. The judge damned well knows that to brand a man an abuser is basically a community death sentence. It appears that a decision has been postponed to give the judge time to come to both an ethical and moral judgement. FYI: The judge has been involved in literally thousands of such cases. He is not known as a soulless bastard.

I’ve posted past articles on this school the place is so full of abuse it’s not funny!! Last year this month their doctor went on the lam for sex abuse/sodomy among other charges. The place really does need shut down.
