Useless Letters from Useless People....MORE to come!
Letter from Deputy Dog (Deputy Director of DHS)
(names and locations have been changed to protect the not so innocent, his letter is in blue, my response in RED)
I asked a colleague of mine from another County to review our electronic file in this matter.(What is an electronic file?) She is a CPS Supervisor with many years of experience.(I'm sure she's REAL good at her
job)
She cannot find any reason to re-open the investigation. I completely agree.(Of course you do...that's what you people do)
Our Dept. investigated the allegations, (wrong) had a third party interview the child and subsequently “substantiated” the report. (Finally after TWO years!) We agreed that your daughter was inappropriately touched by her father. (hooray) We recommended that a CHIPS Petition be filed. (but Corporation Counsel, did not agree) We referred this matter to the Sheriff’s Dept. and the District Attorney.(the officer refused to interview my daughter, the DA refused to ask him
to, the abuser refused to speak to the officer only to say I "brainwashed" my daughter")
At an appeal hearing, the Court Commissioner overturned our substantiation, finding that the Dept. did not meet the burden of proof that abuse occurred.(hearing
held by the Court Commissioner who recused himself previously and NOW
decided he could be fair and impartial. My attorney and I had no
knowledge of this "kangaroo court" where my credibility and character was more of an issue than the abuse. In fact, my daughters guardian ad litem wasn't even there to "protect" my daughter. Also at this hearing is where your social worker perjures herself and makes slanderous and libelous statements regarding me)
What more can we do in this case? (uh...do your job?) Re-opening the case only subjects your daughter to more interviews and more reminders of the incident.(she has reminders of her "incident" every time she's made to be with her abuser) She is re-victimized each time she is interviewed.(actually she hopes that one of you social workers, counselors etc. will finally listen to her and protect her) Your ex-husband won’t cooperate with Law Enforcement,(he is NOT my ex husband this is a paternity case for the LAST time! Of course he won't cooperate what kind of guilty person would?) which is his constitutional right.(what about my daughter's constitutional rights?!)
Our Corporation Counsel sees no purpose in filing a CHIPS Petition when you are protecting your child. (protecting
her? I try and I will until the day I die, but sometimes mothers and
children need help protecting themselves from their abusers...isn' t
that what your agency is for?) Our District Attorney does not have enough evidence to charge your ex.(just
like he doesn't have enough evidence to prosecute forgery on a court
document that the abuser gave himself 50/50 custody? The DA has plenty
of evidence he just doesn't want to do his job, still.)
I don’t believe you will be satisfied until your ex is in prison.(I have never said this or implied such, but isn't that where child molesters go?) It is not our Dept.’s job to put people in prison. Our job is to protect children.(then do it) I am confident that we have done so in this case.(I am confident you have not and your social worker is inept)
I feel that that you need to “let go” for your daughter’s sake.(let go? of what? justice? protection?) You need to move on with your life and allow your daughter to have some semblance of normalcy.(we have tried and her father keeps tormenting her) If she needs counseling, then get her to a counselor.(she
was in counseling, but the counselor got upset that she got subpoenaed
by her father and decided she would no longer see my child. Then they
court ordered another counselor who now will not allow me to make appointments because it would be a "conflict of interest" because her father is the
patient, even though he's not he SHOULD be)
Your only remaining avenue is through Family Court. (really? the ONLY remaining avenue? With the same Family Court that put her in this situation? How do you sleep at night Deputy Dog?) The Judge can decide whether or not your daughter should have any contact with her father, and under what conditions.(the "Judge" is as useless as your agency)
Our Dept. considers this case closed.(I consider your agency inept, apathetic and pathetic)
Sincerely,
Deputy Dog
Deputy Director
Dept. of Health & Human Services
Another letter for your enjoyment! 
Mr. Big Shot asked me to follow up with you regarding your concerns about
your daughter as well as how your case has been handled by 'Mafia
County'. I plan to work with my co-workers as well as my Bureau
director in order to best advise you on next steps.(Which probably means more of "our agency did everything possible to protect your daughter") I will get back to
you in the very near future. (Can't wait....but hey...didn't I talk to you before and you told me your agency doesn't handle this??)
Sincerely
(Little Grunt),, MSW (Master of Social Work, oh good! She went to graduate school....she MUST be smart!)
