I encourage each and everyone of you to share your foster care horror stories with this Congressional Caucus. Let's put them on front street and post a comment in this major publication on Capitol Hill.
If you are a former foster child, foster parent, relative, original guardian, tell them the dirty secrets of the States child welfare system.
Below, is my comment. Let's see how far these people will go to avoid me.
Every foster child's story needs a happy ending
Intriguingly, the case used as an example for the need to improve the outcomes of foster care began with the reason why the system has failed."...during class, Janessa was called into the office where she was informed that she and her two sisters were being placed into foster care."
Janessa had no idea anything was wrong. Why is it our leadership refuses to address the reasons why children are entering foster care?
Child welfare has been notoriously ensconced in the shadows of child abuse prevention public awareness campaigns since its conception to never be recognized for what it truly is: an unregulated industry.Of course, many will automatically stand up to defend such assigned moniker, but that is exactly what child welfare is, industry.
An industry is generally defined by stock analysis, is production orientated. The actual stock is not the child, but the legal grant of guardianship of the child, because whoever has been granted legal guardianship and/or custody becomes the benefactors of the interests of the child. An easier understanding can be seen in the child tax deduction credit.
If the child is in foster care or a full ward of the state through termination of parental rights, there is no usage of the child's Social Security number by the "previous guardians." In instances of adoption, the child is assigned a new Social Security number.
As society invests in the "best interests of the child" to garner a profitable return of a future tax-paying and productive citizen, the basic laws of perpetuity apply.
PV \ = \ [ A \ r ],Where PV equals the Present Value of the Perptuity (a child's Social Security Number value, or rather social economic status); A equals the Amount of the periodic payment (fee-for-service as in Medicaid Targeted Case Management, SSA Title IV-E); and r equals the yield, discount rate or interest rate (the cost of services until maturity, or aging out the system).
Rewriting the equation using quantitative variables of foster care, PV is the Social Security Number value (SSN); A is Medicaid, Targeted Case Management (TCM) and r is the number of months for the child to age out the foster care system (AO). So, SSN \ = \ [ TCM \ AO ] The value of a child's Social Security number is equal to the cost of Child Welfare Services provided over the time until the child ages out the system.
Qualified eligibility for Child Welfare Services is determined by the poverty means tests pursuant to Social Security Title IV-A. Simply put, foster care and adoption services were specifically designed for poor children. Children are Legally Kidnapped. Poverty has been codified as the crime of neglect throughout the States as the failure to provide for the necessary needs of the child. Where the only means for a child who is poor to access medical or any other form of specialized services is through entry into foster care, the child is, therefore, abused upon the eligibility determination of Medicaid. Child abuse is not limited to the inability to afford medical resources.
Child abuse is Medicaid fraud.
Child abuse manifest its truest form through fiscal analysis of the industry of child welfare.
The major sector of the child welfare industry is protection of its fiscal and administrative operations. Since there is no accountability and transparency, meaning there is absolutely no regulation (i.e. contractual debarment, sanctions, revocation, prosecution), child abuse, or rather Medicaid fraud, waste and abuse thrives.
Medicaid fraud abuses poor children, on multiple levels. Once a child is classified as special needs, there is justification for scripting of antipsychotic medication. Children who are under the auspices of a state are eligible to become human research subjects for antipsychotic medication, also. By prescribing a child with antipsychotic medication, the cost of care has increased, substantially. This type of activity is validated in what is called investing in the "best interest of the child."
Youth who age out of foster care typically have been drugged to silence their cries of a life rape, emotional, physical and psychological torture in the system. These individuals are discarded on the streets as the States have maximized its revenue with the turning a blind eye to the billions of dollars in child welfare fraud by its Medicaid Fraud Control Units.
Would you allow your child to go through foster care?
Stop Medicaid fraud and save a child. Reinvest the recovery of false claims in human capital and social infrastructure.
