A 12-year-old told her pastor she was being molested by her adoptive father. The Pastor calls police who show up and arrest the girl for making a false statement rather than open a child sexual abuse investigation.

Wow. Taylor’s strength and courage is impressive. Melissa Turnage on the other hand….. Detective Melissa Turnage should be punished then fired. Melissa has a track record of screwing up cases of child abuse. Why is the Polk County Sheriff’s office protecting her? It’s gross.

Here’s more info on how Melissa Turnage sucks at her job:

> She was hired to the Special Victims Unit in October 2015. The next month, her personnel records show she failed to read a suspect their full Miranda rights, which led to that suspect’s alleged confession not being able to be used in court. Taylor says she was not read her Miranda rights when she was being accused of a crime either.

>In December 2015, Detective Turnage’s records show she interviewed children who said their father was raping him, but then left for vacation without bringing the suspect in for questioning or updating her supervisors for the case. The suspect was arrested while she was gone, and she was given a letter of guidance calling her actions "inexcusable" but she was not otherwise disciplined or re-trained. https://www.fox13news.com/news/lawsuit-accuses-polk-county-sheriffs-office-failures-during-child-rape-investigation
