Corruption within Children and Youth Services and the Department of Welfare


As many of you know I am a foster parent.  Dennis and I love giving teens going through a rough time in their lives a safe home and guidance so that they have a fighting chance to survive the “system.”  During this process I have learned a lot about just how corrupt and unfair the “system” can be.  I understand how people who are not involved with children and youth agencies and or foster care may not know just what a lot of these agencies are doing to keep the big wad of our tax dollars filling their pockets.  I have met people that have had children taken for simple things such as an unclean litter box, dirty floors, poor school grades and being mentally challenged.  Once these agencies take your children it can become nearly impossible to get them back.  You can also lose your children in messy divorce actions that play parents against each other with distorted tales of sexual, physical and mental abuse that one parent is accused of inflicting on a child.  Courts also like to use the terms: parent alienation, bi-polar, sociopath, and drug addict to rip children from homes.  Parents have also been promised the return of their children if they submit to drug testing for a 6 month period only to learn after 2 years of clean drug test they still cannot get their children back from these monster social workers. 
The so called money wheel works something like this.  Children and Youth Services received 1 billion dollars in 2012 to care for these children they have often legally kidnap from parents.  Then they pay a fostering agency anywhere from $400-500,000 per year who in return pays maybe $10-12,000 a child per year to a foster family.  This is without mentioning other kickbacks and payoffs that go to lying social workers, guardian attorneys, therapists and judges.  I can write about this with full knowledge as I watched it all unfold before me when I fostered for KidsPeace.  Not only did supervisors and social workers lie and cover-up criminal behaviors but they also steal personal belongings from the children in their care.  I have witnessed the worse kind of mental abuse inflicted by KidsPeace and Schuylkill County Children and Youth. Most children are way better off with their parents then these less than educated creepy agency workers.  They move children from placement to placement to cover up criminal behaviors by agency employees and keep children from bonding.  Then they attempt to hold foster families responsible for listening to their direction.  I would never recommend fostering through KidsPeace to anyone.  For more information on their corrupt organization this is a link to an article http://articles.mcall.com/2007-12-23/news/3936869_1_kidspeace-gravy-train-troubled-children that explains more.  The latest problems have been hiring sexual abusers and filing for bankruptcy mostly due to paying out lawsuits for children who die in their care.  I know of a child they have locked up and drugged in their KidsPeace hospital to keep him quiet about the sexual, physical abuse and torture he endured while in the care of Schuylkill County CYS and KidsPeace for 4 years.  He’s been held hostage at the hospital since October of 2012.  Then there are his siblings that are also being held hostage by SCCYS.  As being foster parents who wanted to adopt the oldest child we learned quickly just how far CYS agency employees and the Dept of Welfare will go to cover up criminal behavior. 
 
Senator Mike Folmer and State Rep Jim Cox demanded an investigation by DPW into my case and DPW just covered their tracks and those of the social workers.  They never did a full investigation.  For some sick reason ($) the DPW would rather hold these children hostage than let them go to loving safe families out of the system.  Although we are still pursuing the adoption of the oldest child the retaliation by these agencies can be brutal.  A local lawyer who has been helping many people with similar cases here in Berks has now had the agency threaten to take her children.  I have also heard of doctors and attorneys having their lives destroyed financially because they were involved in exposing what these agencies are really doing.  They are relentless.  They have destroyed many careers, families and children’s lives all for profit.  If you think the Luzerne County “Cash for Kids” scam was huge wait until the freight train coming down the track exposes more judges, social workers, attorneys and therapists who knowingly participate in this illegal, disgraceful behavior.  Judge Bucci was just slammed for his role in such cases.  Here is that info http://berkscountynewsnetwork.blogspot.com/2013/08/judge-bucci-slammed-by-superior-court.html .  We have formed groups that are asking for an audit of all PA CYS agencies and reform to stop the falsifying of records, stealing children, immunity for social workers, and unfair illegal activity in family courts.  House Rep Mark Rozzi is also helping in our fight for justice and clarification so that families can reunite and children can be saved from the horror that often comes from living in the “system.” 
I recently was included in an article by Chicago crime reporter published in World News Daily that is exposing what is happening in PA and other states amid the corruption of these agencies.   http://www.wnd.com/2013/08/kids-snatched-without-warrants-without-evidence/#SXSzU6PUr1f51fhW.01 .  
I am determined to be part of change and most that know me believe I will make it happen.  With Obamacare soon to kick in these agencies will be permitted without warrant or substantial reason to come into your home and take your children.  If you find yourself stuck in the throws of CYS or DPW please call me at 610-693-9722.  You can also reach out to advocate Davis Sharp of National Foster Parent Assoc. @ 205-369-4167 or Kathy Ramper of PA State Resource Family Assoc. @ 800-951-5151  Attorney Mark Freeman @ 610-828-1525
Attorney Ben Picker @ 610-341-1073 Jim Cox @ 610-670-0139 Mark Rozzi @ 610-921-8921 Beverly Mackereth sec DPW 717-7872600 Sen Mark Folmer 717-274-6735 you can also call your county commissioners as they hire social workers and the media if you want to be heard.  If you want to know more I can do my best to direct you to the right people.  This is a long hard fight but we are going to win if we keep the stories coming and the pressure on.  We can get justice and end this abuse!
I am also including some very interesting facts on the subject through utube videos and news articles,
 
 
 
Will post more as they come about.

    1. Have a GOOD lawyer that does NOT work for them. Do not use a court appt attorney you will never get your children. Have as many witnesses and character leters as possible. Make sure you are heard by the judge. On this site I have a form you can fill out without an attorney to dispute all lies in your paperwork. Get it filled out copied and filed with the court. If on fb check out BerksCounty CYS Corruption. Lot's of info. Please let me know if I can help further with atty referrals or anything.

  7. My great-grandson was taken from his parents, at a few weeks old. Both parents have mental health issues. Both sets of grandparents were willing to take him, but he was placed in foster care, and it was drawn out for months and years, and then he was quietly put up for adoption. This happened with the Mifflin County Children and Youth agency, not just with my family, but so many, and with all the complaints, the Dept. of Human Services had to investigate. They did not talk to anyone in my family, but some one in another case, told me they were told that abuse of power was found, but plan to do nothing about it! There are accounts of women in Mifflin County having drug addicted babies and they keep custody, yet if there is mental health issues with a parent, they keep the child from the rest of the family. So these agencies discriminate as well. I found an investigation done in another state where it was found that C & Y get a lot more federal funds, if they keep a child in foster care, and then put them up for adoption rather than place them with family. Total corruption and nothing is done about it.

  8. I hear you and you are 100% right on. The problem is getting law makers to hear us and change Hillary Clintons agenda to own our children. Trump will help us we just got to get him in office so she can no longer control the courts. God Bless you and all family for having to deal with the Clinton bills. We need to stand together to stop her!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  9. Yes Hillary Clinton inacted the bills that give huge incentives for taking keeping and adopting children. Hillary feels the gov is better at raising children than parents. There are hundreds of thousands of cases just here in PA. Yes they abuse power. There is no oversight or laws that govern them to stop the kidjacking. Law suits are starting to be won for millions. That has to continue. All that find abuse and ca prove it need to get a good atty and sue them. If they dont they allow the abuse to go on. They also prey on mentally ill and disabled as well as poor and addicted because those people usually dont fight back. God help us and our families. Clinton in the white house will triple fold the issues.

These people in CYS treat all parents like crap and lie lie lie to keep the kids. You have to stay strong, get a good lawyer, and go in a winner and let it be known your children are coming home.

  18. Berks County Children and Youth
    Hello,

    I am requesting that an audit be done within this agency. I am a single mother amongst many others that are suffering because of this agency. There was a previous audit done , I believe that the issues which intiated that audit are once again becoming a barrier to reunifucation of innocent families. I will continue to reach out to anybody who will listen. As I am a mother who will never give up the fight for her child.

    Thank you

  19. Contact auditor general DePasquale. He just visited Berks a month ago. Send him your concerns and requests. Make it personal by including puctures of you and your family. Let my know if you are in need of a private attorney.

  20. Berks County Children and Youth Service is the worst. The court system is corrupt. Definitely need to thin the herd here. I had an attorney from Philadelphia and he said he has never seen such a corrupt court room.
    CYS also likes intruding in your other parts of your life too. Don't let them in your home because once you do they make prey out of you.
    Pray hard and do your best to never let these people in your life. Having a baby... Stay at home or mid wives... Stay away from hospitals because they set you up with cys if you have even the slightest issue.

  21. Both hospitals here have 2 caseworkers on duty 24-7 to steal babies and children. Kids for cash. Government funded child trafficking. Berks is bad. Every appt lawyer is corrupt and makes sure you don’t keep your children. Every judge corrupt. Take pay offs and make huge money stealing children. Report the lawyers report the judges.

  22. On the final page of the family service plan it says notice of right to appeal but I don't know what form to use plus they change the address instead of sending it to Harrisburg like all my other 21 family service plans saying to send it to their office they just change this the last two hearings can they do that

    1. I had someone else tell me this.Maybe it's due to the coronavirus layoffs. When I did my appeal I did it in letter form with all the important errors CYS and foster care made. Plus any other important proof I sent with it.

  24. I need you to hear my story Vickie! I actually created a group on FB about the caseworkers of Schuylkill county cys and have shared what cys has done and is still doing to me and my kids. My rights have been violated over and over and every time I tried to do something about it my caseworker and her supervisor would turn around and do something drastic to my family but placing one or all of my kids for reasons that didn't require them to be placed away from home and everything they violated gets ignored and my children and I have suffered greatly at their hands.

  25. Sch County plays a real nasty game with children's lives and families. What they do is illegal and many of the actual commit criminal offenses against parents and children. I have learned the only way to fight and win is a good attorney. They know that 99% of people can't afford a good private atty so they continue to abuse the system. There is NO oversight. The are very dangerous people who will not stop until they are held accountable and even then the damage has been done.

  28. You need to get a lawyer asap. They totally stole your children. It is the typical things they do. REVOKE the adoption. You need a private lawyer. The CYS lawyers work to take your children. Give Kristen Doleva a call. 610-816-6242 See if she can help you get this straightened out.

  29. I am only a witness to what CYS HAS done to a very dear friend and mother of 3 .CYS of Westmoreland county has Been putting this lady thru hell since October of 2019 up to the present time because she was having trouble with her 14 year old son and truancy.She was doing her best to deal with the problem and even went so far as to ask the local magistrate at a hearing what he suggested since you are no longer allowed to whip your kids ass like in our day.Of course no answer only more threats of fines and jail if her son did not get to school.Then steps in CYS And nothing even close to good has come from those people.I have personally witnessed the case worker threaten on so many occasions to take her children if she did not do exactly as she demanded.I watched as this lady illegally searched her house.Has brought the police to the house for intimidation has subjected this mother to endless drug test and the best move of all was to put her estranged husband who she left 2 years prior along with her kids because the man is a drug selling drug using alchoholic with violent tendencies back in her house to supervise her with the children.Mind you this has gone on for a year now and never a court order for the searches or drug test and the other bullshit they have shoved down this poor lady's throat.All with intimidation and threats of taking the children.I tried to explain to her that CYS is breaking so many laws and violating her civil rights and they can not just take her kids but she is petrified and only lets them do this.Even after I had an attorney tell her this she has no money and would not let me pay for his services to stop this witch Hunt.I will not rest until I find away to bring this corruption to the attention of our legal system and the case worker and her supervisor be held for criminal charges.

  30. She is very lucky to have a friend like you that knows what CYS is doing is corrupt. They have no oversight so they continue to break every law they wish. They can and will take her children right from school if they choose. The only way to stop them is a private attorney and many refuse to get involved because of the corruption. I am glad you found my blog. Lots of info to help deal with these evil people. Education about their tricks is the best way to send them away. You can contact your lawmakers and meet with them to try and get laws changed and those breaking laws put in jail. It can be done. We did it in Luzerne County, Schuylkill and Berks Counties. If she can move to a different county that may help also. If I can help don’t hesitate to ask.
