When Hell Came to Our Home Update October 18

Master Post

After many hours of wrangling our lawyer got a copy of the DHS's "Individual Service Plan" for myself and my husband.  It's a hoot.  Counselors we've shown this to have hit the roof.  It only has one signature attached to it, and that isn't anyone I've seen or talked to.  Each section has a different date, and a different due date.  Everything is out of compliance with the official state practices.  Some of it is against state law, other parts of itare against official insurance practices.  Some of it isn't even worded in complete sentences.

Part 1 says:

"...will correct her home deficiencies to corrrect but arenot(sp) limited to replaceing the dead bolt lock"

This is:

1) ungrammatical,

2) incorrectly spelled, and

3) the deadbolt lock they want me to remove is next to a front door window that's already been broken into before.  The insurance people would hit the roof over that!

Part 2 wants the children's medical/dental records BUT doesn't offer to pay for them.  I learned today that's not kosher.

Part 3 says:

"...will provide proof/confirmation that the children's educational needs are being met."

That's ILLEGAL in Mississippi.

Part 4:

"the dead bolt will be replaced with a safer type of lock..."

DHS, meet insurance people.  Insurance people, meet DHS.

There's no "client" signature.  There's no "social worker" signature.  There is an "ASWS" signature -- but no date.  I was told that the ASWS is the social worker supervisor.  BUT the person who signed in the "ASWS signature" slot is not a social worker supervisor.  She's not even a social worker.  Melody Hamilton, who has the only signature on the entire document that they faxed our lawyer, is a student intern working in their office.

How many ways can you say FAIL!  


From dh:
We need an easy to use video recorder.
It needs to get OK pictures in indoor light but have really good audio pickup for recording any of these "encounters" or "interviews."
Any recommendations?

Yes, she's made so many appeals for money so far, hasn't she. Perhaps you'd like to repeat your assertions without that nice "anonymous" blanket wrapped around you?

I agree with this and your post below -- if, when CL went to the proper authorities they had done what their duties as required, it would have been completely inappropriate for her to post what happened until all the legal stuff was finished, and maybe not even then. But that's not what happened. Fear and intimidation are these people's weapons -- remaining silent would have only isolated her and made her and her family more vulnerable.

CL's been a calm and reasonable member of several online communities for years, and is respected by her business contacts. In the unlikely event that she's snowing everybody, that'll come out in time. Meanwhile if these meth-dealers (or whatever they are) do exist, they can't conduct their business under spotlights. So who benefits from these anonymous posts for silence and disbelief?
