To the deliciously wonderful, breathtakingly beautiful Charles Phelps, Chief of the Troy, Ohio Police Department, I wish to declare my love to your brave initiation to stand up and take on the pervasive defalcation of the nation's child welfare system due to the legislative constraints of the Internal Revenue Service in dealing with the secrecy of nonprofits, the blatant dismissive ambiance of the State Attorney General in its contemporaneous conflict of interests in advising and advocating these contracted entities, and the out-cold, callousness of our elected officials who are promulgating their own self-serving, revenue maximization schemes of social programming.
If it takes a local law enforcement unit to do the task of ending fraud in child welfare, then I believe we need to diffuse this model across the country until there are some major changes in how we, as a nation, deal with privatization and human trafficking of children in poverty.
If the report of "theft" came in at $100,000, I am going to let you know that you must look at the billing because it is going to be extremely likely that there were much more egregious and fraudulent activities to stack up that much money to steal in the first place.
Check political campaign funding activities, while you are at it.
If you are ever in need of advise and consultation, I am here, my dearest, free, at your humble disposal.
Get 'em, baby, and I truly hope someone launches legislation for your Department to receive a percentage of the bounty in the recovery and costs of the investigation.
Troy police investigating foster care facility for theft of $100,000
TROY, Ohio (WRGT) -- A Troy foster care facility, under investigation.
Troy Police are trying to figure out who stole more than $100,000.
The investigation into the missing money started about two weeks ago. Police say it started with a tip from an employee at Isaiah's Place.
"We're looking into a misappropriation of funds of theft from the agency or within the agency," Troy Police Capt. Joe Long said.
Long was on scene this afternoon, as officers served a search warrant.
"Right now, we believe that the misappropriation of funds or theft could reach over $100,000," said Captain Long.
Police are investigating the theft from a facility that places kids in foster homes.
"The foster care system is bad enough as it is to be taking funds from it when they really need it, makes it even worse," said Nicole.
Nicole didn't want to show her face because she was part of the state's foster care system when she was a teenager.
"I got really lucky. I had a really good foster family so it was actually really nice. But a couple of my foster brothers and sisters had come from another home that was really, really bad. Very abusive.
Very neglectful," said Nicole.
Very neglectful," said Nicole.
According to its website, Isaiah's Place is a private non-profit facility, taking donations and, police say, public funding.
"I believe they receive federal, state and county funding to operate," Long said.
Isaiah's Place serves 11 counties.
"To take from them is just horrible, especially when they have nothing to begin with," said Nicole.
Now, Nicole said she hopes everyone gets what they have coming to them.
"That the kids get the money that they deserve. To be taken care of properly and that the people that did what they did get punished for it," said Nicole.
We reached out to Isaiah's Place. They hung up on us the first time, and we called back and left a message for its executive director, but have not heard back.
