assistant: Using documentation of of suspicious and possibly fraudulent claims filed by
psychologists and social workers with the Arkansas Crime Victims Reparations
Board for providing "therapy:" for allegedly abused children, I have
succeeded in getting 2 of 6 Arkansas Congressmen to request Federal criminal
investigations.  The same request was made to the entire Congressional
delegation and I have reason to expect the remaining 4 to join in the
request.  This should be possible to replicate in every state.  FOR A COPY OF
THE PAPER AND COVER LETTER CONTACT ME AT:

I have also c mpleted a logical analysis of the interpretive structure of
MMPI-2.  The most important discovery was that 198 of the 567 items on the
MMPI-2 are bifurcated, double bind questions.  It does not matter whether one
answers true or false, BOTH answers are interpreted as indicating
psychological disorders.  The "test" is rigged to ensure false positive
conclusions that the individual taking the test has psychological disorders
that require "treatment."  BEFORE TAKING ANY PSYCHOLOGICAL TEST OBTAIN A
WRITTEN STATEMENT FROM THE TEST ADMINISTRATOR THAT THERE ARE NO QUESTIONS
WITH BOTH ANSWERS INDICATING PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDERS.  ASSUME THEY ARE LYING
AND CHECK IT OUT.

user: You are replying to All about "Child Abuse Statistics".

Write your reply.

assistant: Yesterday my daughter brought home from school a slick parents' newsletter
published by the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD.) One article on
child abuse under the title of "Mommy! Daddy! Make it Stop" gave some
startling, but not very believable statistics. Among the claims:
* "1 in every 3 girls will be the the victim of sexual abuse before she is 18
years old."
* "1 in every 5 boys will be a victim of sexual abuse before he is 18 years
old."
This resembles a feminist advocacy report: no citations of any kind are
offered anywhere in the article, nor is sexual abuse defined. Information
appears to be based on interviews with caseworkers in the industry. The
report goes on:
* "90 percent of the abusers are well-known to the child."
* "80 percent of the abusers in California are the child's natural parent."
It does not specify whether the term "abuser" applies to only to sexual abuse
or is more comprehensive.
I don't know the right statistics, and hopefully someone can post reliable
numbers from legitimate sources.
The article prominently displays the phone number of the LAUSD Child Abuse
Office: (213) 625-6319. The e-mail address of this publication is
PARENTNEWS@aol.com. The snail mail address is: Parent Community Services, Los
Angeles Unified School District, 634 Cesar E. Chavez Avenue, Los Angeles, CA
90012. The voice phone number of Parent Community Services is: (213)
625-6010. The publication to which I refer is: The Parent Press, vol. 1,
number 2, April 1996.
The LAUSD also operates a local TV station over which it televises board
meetings. At these meetings, members of the community can sometimes get the
floor for a few minutes.

blood or marriage except for parents, for character, suitability, and
competence in the care and treatment of children, expectant mothers,

to care for children, expectant mothers, and developmentally disabled

13.34.060 or 13.34.130, and if such relative appears otherwise
suitable and competent to provide care and treatment the criminal
history background check required by this section need not be
completed before placement, but shall be completed as soon as possible
after placement[.]"

assistant: TEXAS DEPARTMENT OF PROTECTIVE AND REGULATORY SERVICES
               1994 STATEWIDE FINANCIAL AND COMPLIANCE AUDIT
                             REPORT # 95-099
Overall Conclusion
Our audits continue to indicate that the Department is not complying
with all federal requirements for two of its largest federal programs.
Expenditures for these programs total $100 million and represent 45
percent of total federal funds expended by the Department in fiscal
year 1994. Payments have not been limited to appropriately documented
clients and costs for the Child Welfare Services program. This
resulted in material noncompliance with federal requirements.
Discrepancies continue to exist in Foster Care eligibility data
between automated systems. In addition, the Department has overcharged
federal funds due to its method of allocating Foster Care income
credits. Also, noncompliance with cash management requirements was
noted for the Foster Care program.
Key Findings
The Department is not limiting payments to appropriately documented
clients and costs for the Child Welfare Services Program. This has
resulted in material noncompliance with federal requirements. This
issue has been identified in prior audits.
The Department's automated systems continue to contain discrepancies
in Foster Care information, which result in incorrect payments and
noncompliance with federal requirements. This issue has been noted in
prior audits.
Foster Care income credits have not been allocated in accordance with
federal requirements, resulting in questioned costs of $328,847.75.
The Department does not have sufficient cash management monitoring
procedures in place to minimize federal cash requests and prevent
holding excess funds for the Foster Care program.

assistant: PERFORMANCE MEASURES AT 18 STATE AGENCIES
                          REPORT # 95-055
Factors prevented certification due to the double counting of intakes
in two of the regions because referrals are counted as an additional
intake. Therefore the integrity and accuracy of the can not be ensured
because the actual number of intakes would not be determined.
A source of information for the calculation of the performance is the
statewide data base called CANRIS (Child Abuse/Neglect Reporting and
Inquiry system.  CANRIS is maintained by the agency.  All regions
report performance information to CANRIS, but also maintain their own
stand alone systems.  The regional system's information varies
significantly from the CANRIS information.  As a result it could not
be determined which, if any, of the numbers were correct.
The source for the information used for this measure comes mainly for
the Bills Paid System and SSMS/POS (Social Services
Management/Purchase of Services).  The registration system is part of
SSMS.  The Agency was not able to reconcile the number of children in
substitute care receiving a purchased supportive and/or a
rehabilitative service with what is being reported to SSMS.
Therefore, it cannot be determined which numbers, if and, are
accurate.
The source of the information used to measure the number of Children
in Substitute Care comes from the Foster Care, Adoption and
Conservatorship Track System (FACTS) and the SSMS.  SSMS information
is not reliable; therefore, it cannot be determined which information,
if any, is correct.

assistant: By way of closing out this series on the state of Texas, allow me to
post a memorandum from inside the state itself.  This memo details the
states plans to maximize federal grant money flowing into the state.
Texas has hired a private contractor, on a fee contingent basis, to
procure every last thin dime of available federal dollars.  This is
not an uncommon practice, though I have yet to determine the actual
number of states that have taken this course.  (There are several.)
This type of relationship is often referred to as a "public-private
partnership," or something along those lines.
What I find interesting is that the genuine needs of children are not
addressed in the following memo, rather foster care placements are
spoken of in terms of the maximum revenue they may provide for the
state.
There does exist, without question, an aspect of this whole problem
that closely parallels that of the Big Business metaphor often used to
describe it.  I hasten only to add that this businesslike aspect of
the child protective system is but one part of the problem.  I have
observed a tendency, in some circles, to unduly focus upon it, just as
others may have focussed upon those aspects which may parallel or
suggest a greater conspiracy.  While both metaphors may be molded to
fit a given scenario, I am of the impression that neither suffices to
fully explain it.  That said, follows a behind the scenes look at the
procurement of federal dollars.
