Camper Recounts Abuse at Warnock Church Camp

8355599866?profile=RESIZE_584x

Among the indignities 12-year-old Anthony Washington endured at the church camp overseen by Reverend Raphael Warnock: counselors who tossed urine on him and locked him outside his cabin overnight.

Washington, now 30, recounted the events in an interview with the Washington Free Beacon and said his experience at the camp resulted in a 2003 lawsuit that ended two years later, when Washington says he and his family received a large financial settlement.

Washington’s account of the 2002 events provides the first direct insight into the alleged abuse and neglect that transpired at Camp Farthest Out, which Warnock oversaw as senior pastor of Maryland's Douglas Memorial Community church, and raises new questions for the Democrat, who is currently vying for a Senate seat in Georgia.

Washington expressed surprise when he was told Warnock is currently running for U.S. Senate in Georgia. "I don’t think nobody like [Warnock] should be running for damn Senate nowhere, running a camp like that," he told the Free Beacon. "He should not be running for government."

Warnock has faced scrutiny over his 2002 arrest for allegedly obstructing a child abuse investigation by Maryland State Police that centered on the camp's treatment of children. Washington's account is buttressed by records from the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, obtained by the Free Beacon earlier this month, which indicated that campers were routinely left unsupervised; staffers were not subject to required criminal background check; and at least five cases of child abuse or neglect were brought against the camp's director, who was ultimately forced to resign.

Warnock served as senior pastor at Baltimore's Douglas Memorial Community Church from 2001 until around 2005. His job included overseeing the expansion of the church’s sleepaway camp, Camp Farthest Out, which served inner city children. Warnock's campaign did not respond to a request for comment.

The Free Beacon reached out to Washington and members of his family because his name appears on a lawsuit filed against Warnock, the camp, and several of the counselors.

"I just wanted to get the hell away from that camp," Washington said in an interview. "I didn’t want to spend another day there. … That camp was real messed up."

  • Ignorance is the greatest enemy of God.  And if that, then it is an even greater enemy of man.  But that is what happens.  Evil men gain power because those who vote them into office are IGNORANT.  Ignorant of their background, ignorant of their character, ignorant of their lack of ability to do the job.  Just plain and simple ignorance is what gets totally unqualified people into office.  And no segment of the population has a monopoly on ignorance.  They are found everywhere; in the black community, the hispanic community, the asian community....everywhere.  And, these unqualified people depend on that ignorance to get themselves into office.  Electing someone not qualified is not quite but almost akin to getting a plumber to fly a jumbo jet from New York to Paris.  What are the chances of getting there without having to suffer something horrible.  But plumbers are not allowed to fly planes because there is a process for licensing pilots to insure public safety.  There should therefore be a process for vetting a politician wannabe.  They should go throught some kind of training, testing and qualification process in order to be allowed on the ballot.  That would greatly increase the chances that the pubic is picking on someone who, at the very least, is qualified to run for office becase the candidate has passed a test for integrity, job knowledge, background and moral character.  That should be a law. Just sayin'.............

    • The vetting process for elected office at one time was the purview of the Media... Journalist were charged with the task of vetting, and exposing any character flaws or competency issues before the election. That process however no longer exist as the media is no longer free and or competent... they have become the incompetent agents of Marxist propaganda... leaving the vetting process up to individuals who in general are unable or incapable of properly vetting candidates for office. The result is that the pubic is left to guess at who is the best candidate or simply putting their TRUST IN THE POLITICALE PARTY Of their choice... and that no longer works as the Parties are corrupted.

    • You are right, Ronald. The media doesn't properly vet candidates anymore. They used to dig in a candidate's history and publish anything that could be relevant to the election. The media acted like character witnesses as they reported on things like racist comments, sexual misconduct, financial irregularities, problems in the tax returns, etc. They no longer do that. They probably let candidates get away with murder these days as long as the candidate fits their narrative. It's disgusting.

    • You are right Col.  Absolutely right.  However as you also pointed out the media no longer does that.  At one time there were about a hundred media entities owned by almost as many individuals or entities.....I not really sure of the numbers but that there were many owner that is true.  Over the years they got wittled down to like six or seven owners, all liberals.  Fox held off for a while during the time of Roger Ailes but no more.  They too have sold out to the deep state.  They are now thorougly corrupted and drinking the KoolAid of Marxist ideology. It is very sad.  And yes again.  The parties are ALL corrupt.  Money, power no more patriotism, no more honor, no more love of country.  It is all gone. Good to hear from you Col. Take care.

       

  • Warnock involved in something like this?  I can believe it because Warnonck is anti-Christian...just like Pelosi

  • Elections in Georgia are obviously rigged. They already know who will win next week. 

    • Consider giving God the glory and American patriots some credit at least.

       

  • Warlock is such an anti Christian hate monger one has to wonder why he is even allowed to be a preacher?  The Devil prowls about constantly seeking who he may devour.

  • The Party of Marxism is capable of all sorts of degenerate and unlawful acts... they have a massive history of such abuses including being the party of slavery... Voting Democrat only works to expand and continue their legacy of criminal conduct.

  • I think we can classify Warnock as a deginerate.  Unlike the Democrats I don't use that term lightly.  But the more I hear about this person, the more the term fits.  Wake up Democrats - do you really want this person in congress.  Well I suppose if you're a Democrat, you just don't care as long as you get power.
