Michigan Auditor General Sues For Adoption Records, Has No Clue About MCI Or The Trust Funds

Well, it seems Judge William Collette is enjoying another does of Tran, or at least I am pretty sure the matter is in his court.

It seems Doug Ringler has had just about enough of the games over there at the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.

I know Tom McTavish, the former Michigan Auditor General got sick of the crap and so did I.

How can you get adoption info
when you do not even know
about Michigan Children's Insitute, silly!?!
Heck, I even tried to show him some love by drafting legisilation, below, to expand the powers of his office so he could go after those so dearly embraced, Public-Private Partnerships, that like pilfer the public coffers of the children's trust funds.

Speaking of trust funds, the Auditor General wants information on adoptions in Michigan.

You have no idea how hilarious that statement was for me to even type.

To begin, in order to go after adoption information, you must first identify who is over adoptions.

That would be Bruce Hoffman, the Superintendent of the Michigan Children's Institute, the legal guardian for over 8,000 children in Michigan and it has never been audited.

It used to be Bill Johnson.

I despise Bill Johnson ~ just a skin crawling creepy human.

It just so happens that I had set up my own database http://michiganchildrensinstitute.blogspot.com for such an auspicious occassion as the Auditor General of Michigan crossing over into the court to do his job of protecting "the best interests of the children".

Here is a link to almost everything I have ever done on the Michigan Children's Institute, the state section of the Michigan Department of Health & Human Services no one seems to talk about, more than likely due to the fact that no one knows about MCI or its contracts, or its organizational structure, or its fraud schemes, or its generation of fraudulent documentation to the court, to the feds, public & the friends and relatives who witnessed the trafficking of their tiny human.


Just for a bit of fun, I am including the investigative report on Ricky Holland, one of three little boys who did not make it out of Michigan's child welfare system alive.

Ricky Holland was one of the lucky ones.

The other two little boys will suffer for the rest of their lives to what was done to them, and no one cares, but the Michigan Auditor General.

These privatized foster care and adoption entities get away with murder, sell children and will generate fraudulent documentation to double-bill for it, all in the name of the tax exempt god.

I do not have data on how many children were removed from the home by CPS, placed in foster care and adopted out during the Flint Water Crisis or the Detroit Bankruptcy due to the fact that those data are dirty.

As for the federal court monitor, I have very little respect as he has never once identified the Michigan Children's Institute, its Trust Fund, or the fact that there has never been a referral to the Attorney General Medicaid Fraud Control Unit.

Now, we wait for the court order because I know it is coming.

I know it is coming because the federal investigations are finally drilling down to the state level.

I know it is coming because the time has come to end the trafficking of tiny humans and the fact that Ricky Holland, the two other boys who survived, and all their families need to be made whole again.

For the first time, the Michigan Auditor General sues administration to access records

LANSING – In what could be a first for the state, legislative auditors have asked a judge to declare that they can access confidential records in their efforts to hold the administration accountable.

The Michigan Auditor General on Wednesday sued the Michigan Department of Health & Human Services in the state Court of Claims, asking a judge to order Michigan's child welfare agency to hand over adoption records that auditors say they need to investigate whether Gov. Rick Snyder's administration is following rules in its handling of kids removed from their parents because of abuse or neglect.

Auditors, the Legislature's main oversight arm, are currently investigating the state's foster care and adoption program and say they're authorized to access otherwise confidential records because state law and the state constitution gives them auditing authority. But DHHS officials have refused some adoption records auditors sought as part of that investigation, saying state law forbids their release without a court order. Inappropriate release is a misdemeanor.

Auditors – along with lawmakers and federal court monitors – also are investigating the caseloads of DHHS child welfare employees after a State Journal investigation last year revealed allegations that DHHS supervisors in at least seven counties – including Ingham – manipulated records to make the department appear in compliance with court-ordered caseload limits. DHHS has been under federal court supervision for a decade after an advocacy group sued the department over a string of child deaths, including Williamston's Ricky Holland.

Auditors are unaware of any other instance where they've had to sue the administration for records, Kelly Miller, the Auditor General's state relations officer, said in an email to the State Journal on Friday.

Gongwer News first reported the suit on Thursday.

The lawsuit was filed after months of negotiations between auditors and DHHS officials fell apart. DHHS had offered to work with the Legislature on a change in state law that would grant auditors access, DHHS spokeswoman Geralyn Lasher said in an email to the State Journal on Friday.

"The department had been willing to work cooperatively with the Auditor General’s office as recently as this week," Lasher said, "but they have now made it clear with this filing that they have no interest in working in a cooperative fashion so we will simply respond through court filings at this point."   
DHHS Director Nick Lyon had refused to comply with a subpoena from auditors, and Miller said they want the judge to also order Lyon to comply.

Auditors are looking at caseloads as part of the review of child-placing agencies and the adoption records could help them do so, Miller said.

"The declaratory judgement that we requested could impact future audits in any state agency," she said.

DHHS officials have repeatedly said they've looked into allegations of caseload manipulation and found no evidence it had happened. Employees likely misunderstood how cases were being handled, officials said.

Two DHHS supervisors were reassigned following the State Journal's reports, though the department said one of those moves was not a disciplinary action and the department refused to confirm the other.
