Report: Pedophile Gained Custody of Foster Child Using False Social Security Number The Associated Press

ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) - Using a false Social Security number, a convicted pedophile escaped detection and gained custody of a 12-year-old foster child, according to a published report. Ira Butt kept the boy in his home for three months in 2001, The Morning Call of Allentown reported Sunday, until the boy told caseworkers that Butt had computer images of child pornography, court records show. The boy did not allege sexual abuse.

Butt was convicted of molestation in 1996 and was accused of sexual abuse four times in 1997.

The Northampton County Children and Youth department had checked what they thought was Butt's criminal history and child-abuse record, but turned up nothing suspicious because the Social Security number Butt gave actually was that of his adult son.

The youth department is now requiring prospective adoptive and foster parents, as well as everyone in their household, to submit photo identification. The county in eastern Pennsylvania also will begin fingerprinting candidates next month for a federal criminal history check.

Butt was arrested on child pornography charges and sentenced July 8 to three and a half to seven years in prison. The man he shares his home with, Kenneth Anthony Sr., faces separate charges for allegedly trying to delete hundreds of pornographic images from Butt's laptop computer.

...He grabed her by the hair
You can't do that today, fellas, 'Cause it might
come off
You have a piece of hair in your hand and she'll
be swimming away from you
This one women just lied there, wet and frighten,
He said: move, move
She got up, she was a big women, biiig women
Her name was Bertha, Burtha Butt, she's one of
the Butt-sisters...
