Foster Care False Claims To The Government Will Never Be Prosecuted

This is the same scheme that is used in foster care.

Most of the time, a person will automatically think that these services are only provided to the foster children but the original parents, the ones who have had their children snatched, have to go through services, also.

I remember a case...the memories, where a mother was to go to anger management therapy because she would file complaints.  Not only was this 37 year old woman billed under juvenile coding, but she always found out that her counselor, who had severe challenges conjugating the infinitive "to be" claimed the graduate degrees of someone who had a similar name.  

This "therapist" who had spent about 10 years in prison was so entertaining that when he would come to the mother's house, yes home therapy visits, in the morning, she would invite her friends for high tea and silent laughs at what he was referred as "Brotha Man from the fith flo". 

Brotha Man did not realize that the mother worked with the graduate director of where he claimed to have graduated with two master degrees.  The mother decided to ridicule the director for issuing a degree to someone who could be Brotha Man's twin.

Come to find out through the power of FOIA, Brotha Man lied.  Not only that but the mother found out he was not even licensed by the state.

I should really publish his court report because it is hilarious if one can read through the illiterate chicken scratch.

Once the mother confronted Brotha Man with this information, he disappeared.  The foster care agency continued to bill for counseling that never took place and continued to file claims for the mother under juvenile reimbursement codes.

The state never did anything.  The foster care agency kept billing for phantom services and no one was ever convicted.

 JURY CONVICTS PERMIAN BASIN CHEMICAL DEPENDENCY COUNSELOR OF MAKING FALSE CLAIMS TO THE GOVERNMENT 

United States Attorney John E. Murphy announced that in Midland today, a federal jury found 61-year-old Ismael Hernandez Sanchez of Odessa, Texas, a licensed chemical dependency counselor doing business as “SR & Associates,” guilty of fraudulently billing the Government for an estimated $100,000 in counseling services which he never provided to Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) inmates. 

Testimony provided during trial revealed that in September 2006, Sanchez was selected to be the local provider for substance abuse treatment services to federal offenders who were being supervised by the Court following their federal incarceration and to defendants who were being supervised while their trials were pending. Per the agreement, Sanchez was to perform family counseling at $70/hour, individual counseling at $56/hour and group counseling at $40/hour to BOP inmates being housed at, or supervised by, the Dismas Charities Halfway House in Midland. Testimony further revealed that in 2009, Sanchez filed six separate false claims whereby Sanchez knowingly made false representations to BOP for reimbursement for family counseling services which never occurred. 

Sanchez faces up to five years in federal prison and a maximum $250,000 fine per count. Sentencing has yet to be scheduled. 

This case was investigated by the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General. Assistant United States Attorney John Klassen is prosecuting this case on behalf of the Government.
