Michigan Child Welfare Propaganda To Cover Up Medicaid Fraud

Before you watch the video, read this:
Statement of Beverly Tran to the U.S. House of Representative Ways and Means Committee, Subcommittee on Inc...


This is Michigan's finest work of Child Welfare Propaganda.  What horrified me the most is that I know these people.  I know these organizations.  I know what they covered up because I lived it.  I have my documents but the state and court files were shredded.  Just ask Kelly Ramsey a fellow alumni.





This is an email communication response to my question of Medicaid fraud in child welfare.

Dear Ms. Tran,

I serve as the coordinator of our Faith Communities Coalition on Foster Care. The Kirk in the Hills Foster Care ministry team has been planning to host our next meeting at the Kirk on Nov. 8.

Yvonne Rundell, one of the Kirk’s coordinators, forwarded your email to me. In it you asked an important question,“Will the DHS Director be speaking about Medicaid fraud in child welfare and if not, why?”

 I believe that we share in the general concern about fiscal responsibility on all levels of our government and child welfare agencies.  You need to know, however, that the purpose of our Faith Communities Coalition on Foster Care meetings is not about political or economic matters-but rather on the spiritual issues which compel us to awaken awareness in our diverse congregations about the desperate needs of our foster children and youth in Michigan.

Our meetings are geared  to challenge every congregation to take some small part in collaborating with service agencies to help change the life of a child. We seek to inform members of faith communities of this crisis and to motivate action through collaboration and partnerships on  a grassroots level. 

To further clarify the content and focus of our meetings, here is something which Detroit Public Television recently did on our work: http://www.youtube.com/user/saveourchildren1.

The November 8 meeting with Director  Corrigan and others already has a tight agenda with the focus on getting responses from local congregations to help. So to answer your question directly, this is not the setting to address the issues you are raising.  There  will be no place to address your concerns, nor is there time for questions and answers from the floor. 

Instead, we have allocated time for individuals  to visit the 24 booths of our local service agencies to form partnerships to serve our foster children.

Here is a copy of our notice. I hope this further clarifies our intent.

WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW IN FOSTER CARE?

Long Lake Rd, Bloomfield Hills, Hear dynamic presentations and updates concerning foster care and adoption in Michigan. Local  service agencies will provide booths of information on ways individuals can make a difference. Large or small contributions all add up to help change a life. For more information and reservations contact  Katie Page Sander, director of the Save Our Children Coalition at kpage@umd.umich.edu313.593.5052 or the FCC coordinator, Rev.

If you would like for me to forward your email and issues  to  Director Corrigan, I’d be glad to do that.

I hope that you will find people of similar interests to pursue your concerns in settings that provide opportunities for the dialogue you seek.  Meanwhile, you are welcome to come and experience the energy, enthusiasm and dedication of our many foster and adoptive parents and all those who seek to serve together to make a difference in the life of a child.

. .Warm regards,
Kate Thoresen, Coordinator of the Faith Communities Coalition on Foster Care,

a community outreach of the Save Our Children Coalition, University of Michigan, Dearborn, School of Education, Katie Page Sander, director        Phone:313-593-5052;    email: SOCCProject@umd.umich.edu ; www.SaveOurChildrenCoalition.org 

This was my response:

Kate,

Thank you for your response.

As an external consultant to the U.S. Judiciary and personal advisor to U.S. Representative John Conyers, Jr., I will ask you to join the national stage in bringing awareness to child welfare fraud as it has been raised to the national agenda, proceeding with federal investigations and hearings.  Perhaps we can partner to have a public forum to discuss the role of child welfare organizations, such as yourself, in protecting the civil rights of those individuals who wish to report as Medicaid fraud in child welfare whistleblowers and the components of the State Medicaid Fraud Office of Inspector General legislation.

Now, allow me to share the general concern about spiritual issues which compel me to awaken your awareness to the desperate need of ameliorating Medicaid fraud in child welfare.

In numerous instances, children are improperly and unnecessarily removed from the home and placed in foster care.  In even more situations, the original custodians and guardians are stripped of any access to due process to challenge the validity of placement of the child.

What is even worse, poverty is codified as the crime of abuse and neglect leading to an artificial need for increased services and the filing of false claims.

Medicaid fraud in child welfare was so rampant during the time of the creation of your coalition that children were being severed from their legacies to suffer at the hands of poor and inadequate services, many which are double-billed and phantom services, for no reason more than a false cost reimbursement in Targeted Case Management.

I respect that this forum is only for the promotion of your private agenda but challenge you to address the pervasive multi-billion dollar industry of child welfare fraud as there is no oversight to privatization of the child welfare industry.

What will you do to reduce the need for foster care?  What will you do to end improper and unnecessary removals of children?  What will you do to stop the drugging of foster children?  What will you do to stop Medicaid fraud in child welfare? These are the spiritual issues which have been abused and neglected from public discussion.

I thank you and shall take you up on your offer to forward my concerns to the Director, but I shall give you advanced notice that she will avoid addressing the situation of Medicaid fraud in child welfare at all legal costs.  This is why I have approached you.

I look forward to working with you in the near future.

Let's see if they acknowledge that there is fraud in child welfare or watch them run and hide under the Rock of Jesus, oops, I mean the iron curtain, because you know Save Our Children Coalition is comprised only of Christian organizations.

To make the historical story of foster care and adoption short and sweet, allow me to cost-effectively sum up the policy for the Industry of Human Trafficking:

Poverty is abuse and neglect. Abuse and neglect is a crime. A parent(s) who is poor abuses and neglects the child. The state must protect the welfare of the child. The state never questions the work of God. Foster care and adoption residential institutions are in the name of God. People and corporations make tax write-off financial contributions to the institutions. Children get medicated; pharmaceutical companies get profit; social workers get jobs. The longer a child is in foster care; the more jobs are sustained. Sustaining and creating jobs saves money for the state. Foster parenting is a job. The state and the institutions are given financial incentives and receive financial rewards for each child transitioned into adoption. Michigan needs to make budget cuts. Michigan needs to create more jobs. Foster parenting is significantly more economical than an institution. Adoptive families receive financial rewards for each child adopted. The state no longer is financially responsible for the child. The state is no longer financially responsible for the birth parent. Everyone contributes to the economy. A stronger economy eradicates poverty. Poverty is a crime. When you stop poverty, you stop abuse and neglect.

This is why no one wants regulation or reform of the multi-billion dollar health care.

If I have offended anyone, then I suggest you stand up and do something about it.

Stop Child Medicaid Fraud
