Meet Judge Daniel Cahill: Kansas Has A "Kids For Cash" Scheme Going On

Recently, one of my fans posed this question to me:
Kansas 29th District Court Judge
Daniel Cahill,
Presiding over child welfare cases

How can a judge sit on a contractors panel ???

With the swiftness of godspeed, I retorted,

Just ask Maura Corrigan!

Just in case you are not familiar with the "Kids For Cash" scandal where former Luzerne County, Pennsylvania Judge Mark Ciavarella, Jr. was busted sending kids to his buddy's, Robert Mercie, the builder of PA Child Care private juvenile detention facility,  for any reason he could conjure up, like, not liking the way a kid looked, and, in return, where he took kiddie kickbacks, well, I though I would remind you.

Now, why would I bring up such an horrific memory of children being tortured for profit in the privatized child welfare, well, it is because I want the world to remember the legacy of Madame Maura Corrigan (said, always in a high British accent).

See, "The Madame" was the one who put together that Pew Foster Care Research Group which promoted the act of judicial lobbying, whereby judges would sit on the boards of child welfare organizations to "maximize their revenues".

Kansas pushed a bill against judicial lobbying, but, of course, it was crushed.

Taken from the embedded document, below, my fan raised serious concerns with the veracity of the quote:
"Cahill’s dedication to children and families runs deep. Each December he serves on the judges’ panel at the KVC Resource Family Conference and explains to foster and adoptive families the whys and hows behind some of his decisions."
"He has NEVER ruled in favor of a single solitary NATURAL parent." stated my fan.

"There is no money in it.", I said.

So, that leaves us to identify, or rather unearth, as judges are typically not mandated to disclose campaign finances and personal business ventures, his financial activities.

Well, according to State of Kansas Secretary of State, Governmental Ethics Commission, Cahill has not filed any reports on his campaign finance since 2008.

But hey, what does the Office of the Governor know....or care?
