CASA worker and SRS with education

 CASA workers are suppose to be sure the child or children have a voice in what is happening in their life. The CASA worker should not know any of the family members before being assigned to a child or children. Our daughters CASA worker used to work with my sister's husband. She knew that they are unable to have children. Did she really do what was best for Angel and Catrina or make Sheial and Jeff's dream come true of havinf children in the home. I am writing the head of CASA because the Wichita/Sedgwick County CASA did not act in the best interest of our daughters. She spent time seeing how they did around Sheial and Jeff. She never spent time with the real family. How does the CASA worker really know how the family works if she never spends anytime with the family unit? I have met other CASA workers from being a substitute teacher and an intern working on my education/science degree. The CASA worker would let me know how the child interacted with all of the family members. He/she knew who the child was especially close to. Our daughters' CASA worker cannot say that. I am going to ask that a new rule be put in place that if the CASA worker knows any of the family members that he/she asked to be replaced. CASA workers are supposed to give the child or children a voice. Where was my daughters' voices?  On Tuesday, I am going to give them a chance to be heard. I am going to ask them to write or make a web video downloaded to a disk that can be sent to everybody I have written to so that they can finally be heard.
 Kansans need to start protecting the children and families and tell the state law makers and judges that all laws are to be followed. If the CINC court is gone. Children are placed in foster care because they are truly being abused and/ or negelcted. There should be no child falling through the cracks. Truancy should never be handles in the courts and taking children out of their homes. Stephanie Uhlik, SRS worker, told us that she can make us change churches, change faith, and even not to believe in God. If you do not do as I say, I will take your children. She did it. She ordered Ruth Clark Elementary School to have an IEP meeting even though Catrina was no longer attending school. SRS violating religious rights and over stepping grounds because Catrina was not in SRS custody until 7 days later. I tried to get her to look at the curriculum. I showed Ms. Uhlik that we are a registered home school. We even joined 2 organizations. They are christian organizations with home schooling. She foumd out that our curriculum is Christ-centered. She told us that she would find a way to make us change curriculum or put our children back into public school because religious curriculum is unacceptable. Is SRS going to close down Christian schools, Catholic schools, Lutheran schools, Jewish schools, etc.?  If we cannoit use religious curriculum in home schooling, how can these private schools use their curriculum because the home schooling laws fall under the private school laws in Kansas?
 Parents when will your child be taken because you want your child to attend church. Our daughters could only attend church if it did not interfere with them attending school. My husband and I had talked about our children attending parochial school even before they were born. WE did not know that we would be blessed with two beautiful daughters with special needs. Since they have IEPs, the parochial schools we wanted to send them to could not accept them as students. Other parents of special needs children were telling us about home schooling. I finally found Alpha Omega Publications that hat acceptable Christ-centered curriculum which I could adapt to their learning needs. SRS took our children after we did everything by the Kansas Education laws to home school.
 Parents you better start speaking up or else you will also lose your rights to chose religion and education for your children.
