CASA Retaliates

This was a response from Rebecca L. Grossman of the National Court Appointed Special Advocates for posting the Baby LK report.

I believe it was removed from the facebook posting because, Child Abuse Propaganda Machines do not like publicity that challenges their current funding structures. 

It more than likely was removed as retaliation for, let's just call them "previous encounters."

Now, here is the 2008 CASA Annual Report. No where in this publication will you find any reference to ending fraud, waste and abuse in child welfare.

As a matter of fact, you will find no reference to the number of children who are being removed from homes on the basis of poverty or lack of medical coverage.

Quite frankly, you will see not a whisper of the abuses and deaths of children in the child welfare system.

CASA Annual Report 2008

There are only two reasons I prefer to publish a document in its entirety because, in the event I have omitted something or, perhaps, have interpreted the information improperly, the source is right at one's fingertips.

The second reason is because I am a fan of accountability and transparency. It is the responsibility of the citizen to protect and serve. I call this my civic duty to call out bullshit, and I do it extremely well.

CASA is  publicly funded entity; therefore, this is a public document.

CASA 990 2008

Out of the $12 million in expenses, not one penny went to ending Medicaid fraud in child welfare.

CASA, the ones with direct knowledge of these child welfare cases, does absolutely nothing but allow the status quo to grow with such a ferocity that we have federal agencies scrambling to find out why.

If you suspect fraud in child welfare, report it because CASA sure as hell will not.
