Dear Family and Friends,
I have told
you that Department for Children and Families (DCF, old name was Social and
Rehabilitation Services. This is one of the hidden predators which are harming
children and families in Kansas. Another predator is Sedgwick County Juvenile
Court. Here is a reminder of what Kansas and Sedgwick County Juvenile court are
being investigated:
June 13, 2013 I went to a meeting where the speaker
was Phyllis Gilmore who is Secretary of Department for Children and Families.
She gave a presentation of what is happening with DCF. She stressed that DCF is
not Social and Rehabilitation Services-SRS. I was given the honor to ask the
first question. I was very nervous because the judge over our case was also at
the meeting. I asked if DCF is going to set right what SRS did with wrongfully
removing children from their homes and keeping the children out of the home by
untruths in court reports. The judge stated that no case can be discussed. Ms.
Gilmore told him that I did not ask about my case and repeated the question.
She stated Kansas is under investigation for too many children in custody and
too many children kept out of the home. Judges also will be investigated.
Sedgwick County juvenile court (our case is in this court) - judges, attorneys,
and court workers, DCF Wichita office, and Youthville for violating the First
Amendment. She told her staff to be sure and gives me contact information for
you and me. Mr. Kahrs gave me his card after the meeting. He has told me that
he will look at our case to see how to bring our daughters home.
David
and I have been hoping that DCF would be sending children home because of the
investigation. DCF has the legacy of SRS which was not positive. The only way
for people to believe DCF is protecting children and families plus making the
families stronger, there needs to be some positive news to show how DCF is
accomplishing what SRS failed to do.
I would like
to start a writing letter campaign either mail or email. If you are comfortable
calling the people that would be great too. We need to make DCF, Governor
Brownback, and Sedgwick County Juvenile realize people do know about the
investigation and that the court and agency are seen as predators instead of
protectors.
Write about
your concerns with CPS part of DCF. Also write about families you may know who
have had their children wrongfully removed and untruths are keeping the
children out of the home. We need to stress that this does affect the children
for the rest of their life. I saw an ad by Charles Koch Foundation which states
the United States was the top country for protecting people’s rights. Our
economy is affected by states not protecting children and families’ rights
according to the ad. I also went to seminar where business people talking about
what they look for to expand or move their company to a new city and
state. They look at how children and
families are protected by CPS, juvenile court, and family court to make their
decision to expand and/ or move the company to a new city and state.
Sedgwick County Juvenile Court is being investigated
also for First Amendment (religious rights) rights violated. David and I have
the evidence proofing First Amendment rights violated by SRS social worker
before our daughters were removed. The violations continue today.
Judges fill
out an accountability form every year. It is easy to check on judges filling
out the form honestly who are not in juvenile or family court. Judges in family
and juvenile courts do not have to be honest on their accountability form
because there is, at this time, no way to check to see if the judges are being
honest. Our judge stated in April 2011 that he chooses what an investigator
sees with the cases the investigator is check on. Does the judge have more than
one file on the cases- a file which has everything and a file which only has
what he wants an investigator to see?
Here are issues I have found which is
happening in Kansas:
1.
Children
with special needs targeted by SRS/DCF for federal funds. Most of the children
will not go home.
2.
Children
who are really being abused are either being rescued by law enforcement or
killed by their abusers. These children do not have special needs. SRS/DCF knew
about the abuse and the abuse was life threatening. In some cases, SRS/DCF had
evidence. How much does it cost a child to be rescued by SRS/DCF? - Adam
Herrmann was a foster child who was adopted by his foster parents. SRS knew the
foster parents were abusing him but still allowed the adoption to go forward.
In 2009, he was reported missing by a person who was not his adoptive parents.
He went missing in 1999. He has been declared dead. The adoptive/foster parents
are in prison for money fraud. No one has been charged with Adam’s murder.
Jayla was killed by her mother. There is a Facebook Page “Justice for Jayla”.
The news stated that SRS social worker testified in Butler County Court that
there was evidence of abuse and the abuse was life threatening.
3.
Youthville
gets life insurance on the children in their custody (foster care). April 2011
a brother and sister went on a pass to see their family during the Easter
weekend. Youthville knew that both children had gang issues. The brother was in
a gang> the sister was dating a boy in a rival gang. The brother was ordered
to kill his sister and her boyfriend. He only killed his sister. There are
reports which states how much Youthville makes on the death of children. Are
children worth more dead than alive?
4.
Sedgwick County DA’s office was investigated
for tampering with court reports and evidence. The investigation did find
evidence of this happening. Nothing happened to the DA (Nola Foulston) or her
staff. She was allowed to retire in 12/12. Here are two articles in the Wichita
Eagle which talks about the investigation:
a.
Child
Welfare No Place for Bullying 9/1/09
b.
Audit
Says Few Social Workers Pressured 8/29/09
Here are the addresses
of people I would ask you to write to so DCF and the juvenile court knows that
they cannot hide anymore. These were the hidden predators. There are other
people and agencies which helped with wrongfully removing children and keeping
the children out of the home. People need to get involved and help us fight to
protect the children in Kansas and all the other states.

Please write these people to let them know that wrongfully removing
children from the home and keeping the children out of the home will no longer
be allowed. These people need to follow federal and state laws. We tell
children that only the truth is to be told in courts. Until the courts start
only accepting the truth, children cannot be taught that courts are just. These
people are mandated to protect children but they have been the hidden predators
which have been hurting children for years.
Thank you for your time and caring!
