WARREN, Ohio - The justice system is still sorting through rape charges against a Trumbull County mother and father accused of molesting their baby daughter.

The alleged assault happened inside Trumbull County Children Services while the couple were visiting the child last year.

21 News has obtained a document that shows the agency had reason to believe Cody Beemer was a threat to his daughter before he allegedly raped her.

It's a discovery that has the agency re-assessing its procedures.

Loretta Banks says children services placed her grand baby at risk by allowing her son-in-law Cody Beemer to have unsupervised visits at children services.

She says they should have known Beemer had a history of molesting kids.

The document obtained by 21 News, which children services used to take the child away from Beemer and his wife Felicia, states Cody Beemer sexually assaulted a three-year-old female relative before he allegedly molested his own daughter.

Agency regulations do not prohibit convicted child molesters from visiting their own children in protective custody, even without anyone supervising the visit.

That changed after the alleged molestation of the Beemer baby.

"I don't think he should have been able to be in the agency seeing her knowing he's messed with any minor children," Banks said.

Children Services Director Nick Kerosky admits the agency knew about the document but says they were in compliance with all state guidelines.

The children services board has changed its rules so if there is a known sex offender who has a visitation with his or her child there will be an observer in the room the entire time.

Each visitation room and the outside play area will also be equipped with cameras.

"We upgraded our system so it gives different camera angles as well as a sharper image. When we built this facility, we didn't think something like this could happen in a nursery and that's why we didn't put a camera in. Now that this has happened, as i said before, we didn't foresee this. We have to change the way we do business and we put cameras in our nursery as well," said Marilyn Page, Deputy Manger or Trumbull County Children Services.

But Attorney David Engler, who is representing the child, says if Trumbull County Children Services board had common sense rules in the first place, the baby would have been protected.

He takes issue with the agency's director saying this was unforeseeable since the agency knew about Beemer's previous record.

"What about the word pedophile is not a red flag? When your entire job is to protect children, what caused confusion that they put a baby in a room and said see you in an hour, see you in 45 minutes," Engler said.

The baby remains in foster care.

Meanwhile her parents are being tested for their mental competency. They face life in prison if they stand trial and are convicted.
