Tales Of The New Crown: Children's Villages Gets The Cooties - The Path Of No Return - Michigan's Kids For Cash

I am quite sure you know how I feel about Children's Village.


In the child welfare system, once you enter, there is no return to your station of life in the hierarchy of chattel law.

It is just a salvific thing, more intuitively recognized as "Kids For Cash".

5 staffers, 4 residents test positive for COVID-19 at Children's Village detention facility

Nine staffers and residents have tested positive for the coronavirus at Oakland County Children's Village and 17 other employees are self-isolating at home for 14 days.

County health officials are working to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 at the juvenile detention facility after an employee tested positive Sept. 3, according to a statement from the county.

Since then, four more staff members and four residents have tested positive. All were close contacts of each other and were connected to one building. They are in isolation, the county stated.

The county health division has not determined the source of the original exposure.

Children's Village, located in Pontiac, offers detention, residential treatment and shelter care services to children and youth who come under the jurisdiction of the court and are deemed to be temporarily in need of out-of-home care, custody and treatment.

It has seven buildings, but only six are being used right now because the population is low, said Bill Mullan, spokesman for County Executive Dave Coulter.

Mullan said the outbreak occurred in residential treatment. He said three employees and two residents had symptoms.

There are 73 residents and 188 full-time employees at Children's Villages, the county stated in its release.

The health division conducted a contact investigation that required 17 additional employees to self-isolate.

It also tested all Children's Village employees and residents for the virus and will continue to do so until all results are negative, according to the county.

Nearby, the Oakland County Jail, the lockup for adults, reported no cases of the coronavirus on Wednesday, Undersheriff Mike McCabe said.

Jail officials were sued earlier this year in federal court related to inmate care amid the COVID-19 pandemic, but the sheriff's office won an appeal in July.

Tales Of The New Crown: Lester and Lillian Shindler Are Extracted From Humanity

Brody's was the only store to get those Catholic schools painter pants, which wall the rage, upon getting to high school, ditching the wool, pleated skirts and vests,

Brody's was also the only store that carried husky sized pants and shirts for boys.

Everyone loved them, but sometimes, there are things, better left for things to come.

Cover your mirrors, but not your eyes.

Married for 70 years but separated by COVID-19, Mich. couple dies just hours apart

(FOX 2) - A metro Detroit couple married more than 70 years passed away within just hours of each other, something their son calls a blessing.

The two were never apart until this pandemic hit and, sadly, were not able to spend their final days together.

Mich. couple in their 90s die the same morning, though separated by COVID-19

A couple from West Bloomfield, Mich., separated after 70 years of marriage due to the pandemic, died within hours of each other.

"They never saw it in each other's eyes, the pain of dying," their son Marc Shindler said of his 92- and 91-year-old parents, Lester and Lillian Shindler. "They went together."

The couple met in high school and Lester bought Brody's Camp Supplies and custom printing in 1969.

"My father was a legend. Everyone stands up and says, 'Mr. Brody! Mr. Brody!' People knew him."

Lester built up the business and opened up a second store in West Bloomfield 10 years later. Marc worked closely with his father and describes it as a bit of a circus.

"It's an old-time run business. We sold everything from tube socks to underwear to bar mitzvah suits to camping supplies. If you needed it, we had it; if we didn't have it you didn't need it."

Although, if they didn't have it, Marc says his father would order it and hand-deliver.

Business was booming and Lester and Lillian fell deeper in love each day.

"The reason they got married July 4 is because the store was closed," Marc said. "They worked together. They lived together. They traveled together; they did everything together."

As the years passed, Lillian was later diagnosed with dementia. But while she was in the nursing home she would still see her husband regularly. But once the pandemic hit that just wasn't possible anymore.

"Everything was, 'Where is Lester? Where's Lester?' With her dementia, she wanted to know where Lester was."

Last month, Marc says his father broke his leg and had to have surgery. Lester was sent for rehab at another nursing home and that's where, just a few days ago, Lester contracted COVID-19. Lester was taken to the hospital but decided he did not want to be put on a ventilator.

When Lillian heard the news she refused to eat or take her medicine.

Marc says his father died from the virus just a few days later. But, within hours, Lillian, let go as well.

"My father always said to my mother, 'Come on, Lil, let's go. We gotta get going. We gotta go to the movies; we gotta go to dinner.' So he died at 2:30 in the morning, I feel that when he died he came here and he said to my mother, 'Let's go, Lil!' - and they went together."

The community is now rallying around the Shindler family.

Marc is, of course, grief-stricken but overwhelmed by the kindness and the thought that his parents are finally back together.

"We love you, we miss you and we're going to continue to be like you were."

A Plausible Explanation As To Why WXYZ Released Ann Marie LaFlamme - The Well Of Tiny Humans

Charlie LeDuff wants to know why WXYZ would dismiss such a wonderful journalist.

So, what I did was put out the question into the cyberverse to ask, "Why was she released?"

Well, The Well, that is, for those who know that I am on a mission, all reveled in concurrence by figuring it out that it had something to do with Orchard's Children's Services and Children's Village.

I see infant mortality programming in Foster Care.

https://beverlytran.blogspot.com/search?q=Orchards+Children%27s+Services

I am going to present my two cents and say Ann Marie LaFlamme was asked to leave WXYZ because she was trafficking tiny humans, and she was using the resources, which includes the trademark and copyright, of the station, which has a federal license under the FCC, which also has a license of the State of Michigan, which is probably why.

WXYZ corporate counsel is probably not in a happy place right now.

Liabilities, you know.

I also know about what Children's Villages was doing when she was engaging in seriously questionable fundraising activities.

The Well, is registered with the State of Michigan LARA as Temple Israel of Detroit.

I remember when they moved out to West Bloomfiled.

Everyone moved out Detroit, but always kept in touch.

Detroit has many beautiful temples, many faded away to blight., but I bet there are lots of unknown land patents and creative bond schemes, but hey, what do I know?

I do not know what is going on, but, considering that the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search (TEOS) is still.......down......., I am going to go with the possibility that Temple Israel of Detroit no longer possesses grant to bear the arms of the U.S. because it seems it had its 501c3 tax exempt status snatched, but, hey, what do I know?

I know the League of Jewish Women may not know about this because they are the parent corporation of Orchard Children's Services.

I also know that WXYZ knows me, well.

Carry on, dearies, for this is going to get very dark and very deep.

And, now, you have a plausible explanation as to why Ann Marie LaFlamme was released from WXYZ.

Ann Marie LaFlamme Is Disappointed To Leave WXYZ

Ann Marie LaFlamme
Ann Marie LaFlamme is leaving WXYZ on Friday after five years as a reporter. And she's apparently not happy, suggesting on social media that it's a management decision.

Full-time TV reporters normally work under contract, which stations can opt not to renew.

"I may not understand their business decision but I trust and respect it and I know this will truly be for the best," she said in a Facebook post that draws over 1,200 comments in half a day.

"While I’m sad to be leaving a job I worked so hard for, more than anything I want to thank all of you.

"I grew up watching WXYZ and it was my dream to someday be part of the station that inspired me to become a journalist. It has been a tremendous honor and privilege to be welcomed into your homes every morning on TV and for that, I am incredibly grateful.

"I can’t even begin to describe the appreciation I have for my amazing coworkers, family and friends who have been by my side with unwavering love. The relationships I have been fortunate enough to build are priceless and irreplaceable.

"Thank you all for your loyalty, for seeing who I truly am, for accepting me and allowing me to become a part of your families. I can’t wait to share with you what’s next, God is faithful and his plan is always perfect."

The Detroit News hadn't heard back yet after requesting a comment from the station.

A WXYZ bio said earlier:

Ann Marie LaFlamme is back home! Born and raised in Rochester Hills, Ann Marie is incredibly excited to be part of the 7 Action News morning team, joining the station in March 2015.
