Heading: Unsupervised Visits Lead To Confusion And Stress For The Children: May 2008 August 2008.

Text: Following these events, Ogoy was unable to reach Lucy until Ogoy went to Lucy's home on May 27. Ogoy told Lucy that because OCS was no longer seeking reunification with Rick, the case plan was being formally changed to adoption. At the case review the next day, the foster mother described that Jack was masturbating until his penis bled. The team also decided to continue allowing Lucy to have unsupervised visits with the children in her home. Despite being apprised of the situation with Jack and the fact that his counselor was working with him on it, Lucy and Andrew called the police to their residence during a later visit to report Jack's behavior. Jack's later counseling sessions revealed that the police arriving to talk about his masturbation caused him a great deal of stress. During another visit in June, Lucy and Andrew took a jean jacket that Jack was wearing, cut off the sleeves, and drew a picture of a shark on the back with Lucy, Andrew, Jack, and Carmen's first names with Andrew's surname on it. After the jacket was finished, it was given to Carmen. In his counseling sessions with Kidd, Jack exhibited signs of confusion and stress both because of the use of Andrew's surname and because his jacket was taken and given to Carmen. He was also confused about where his home was and where he belonged. Lucy and Andrew also gave Jack a very short haircut that was uneven and choppy, which also caused him distress. Jack's foster parents reported that Jack was waking in the night screaming and crying and that his bladder and bowel control had regressed such that he was urinating and defecating in his pants. In June 2008 Carmen was given an FASD evaluation because Lucy admitted to drinking while she was pregnant with Carmen. Andrew, Lucy, Jack, and Emma attended the assessment along with Carmen, and Andrew eventually tried to stop it by being very loud and aggressive and claiming that OCS did not have custody of the children. Iannolino asked Andrew to leave, but eventually had to call the police and have Andrew removed. Also in June, Lucy enrolled in two classes through the Central Council, Positive Indian Parenting and Financial Literacy. She completed both of these programs in August. Ogoy tried several times to meet with Lucy and Andrew during August 2008, but they were not able to meet. When her attempts to meet with them did not work, Ogoy wrote them a letter, which she hand delivered, and included an updated case plan and a list of service providers. The case plan required that Lucy get current substance abuse and mental health assessments.
