Kellyanne Conway Speaks Upon Child Protection Laws & Ascends To Be Official Crowned A Legal Genius

In this video, Kellyanne Conway, "Legal Genius" (trademark pending) speaks upon child welfare laws, devoid of any semblance of understanding child protection laws.

Lacking in the basic structure or jurisdiction of child welfare laws, Kellyanne gracefully documents the dearth of legal acumen in the laws and policies of juvenile justice, foster care and adoption.

Without even conferring with White House Counsel, well, on second thought McGahn may have a tight schedule dealing with his cover up of TARP and his work on the construction and implementation of the fake ass Detroit Bankruptcy, along with its ancillary socioeconomic ills, like child welfare, Kellyanne gleefully educates the world on the inner workers of U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Children's Bureau all by herself, because she knows everything.

Kellyanne knows so much to comment on the workings of child protection laws, she did not even confer with the State of Ohio, Department of Job and Family Services.

You go, gurl!


Because Kellyanne knows so much about child protection law, I say she definitely needs to be put on the expert witness list for all legal matters dealing with child welfare laws for the United States.

Think of all the legal cases of parents suing to rescue their children from Foster Care & Adoption, to save them from drugging, rape, torture, through her expert testimony.

Think of all the Medicaid fraud in child welfare, which is what are in those juvenile records Kellyanne is claiming we do not have access, yet fails to comment on civil rights laws in child welfare because there are none. 

I bet Kellyanne knows about all those foreign corporations trafficking of tiny humans across the borders and through our ports, under chattel laws.

Kellyanne has put the age of consent on the table.

I bet Mike Pence debriefed her.

Mike Pence knows lots about trafficking tiny humans.

Someone should ask him.

We should ask everyone involved in child protection about what goes on behind the iron curtain of the dark and nefarious world of Child Welfare, that way we can access the records and go after the billions in Medicaid Fraud being exfiltrated out the country through fake ass child welfare NGOs.

HHS imposes a $4.3 million civil money penalty for violations of the HIPAA Privacy Rule

But guess what!  It does not apply to child welfare.  


That is right.  If a parent who has a child in foster care attempts to ask for medical records, you will never get them. 


Yes, you can file all the FOIA's and authorization for release of medical information pertaining to your child, but those records will never see the light of day.  


Why?  Well, it is like this.  Say you robbed a bank.  Would you go to the authorities and turn over the money, complete with affidavits from witnesses who saw you commit the robbery and the video tape of the incident?  The answer more than likely is no.  So why would a state turn over medical records of a child who has been in foster care, whether properly or improperly?


Medicaid fraud in child welfare is a dangerous dance without civil or criminal penalties.

HHS imposes a $4.3 million civil money penalty for violations of the HIPAA Privacy Rule

Action marks first civil money penalty issued by HHS for HIPAA Privacy Rule violations
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has issued a Notice of Final Determination finding that Cignet Health of Prince George’s County, Md., (Cignet) violated the Privacy Rule of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). HHS has imposed a civil money penalty (CMP) of $4.3 million for the violations, representing the first CMP issued by the Department for a covered entity’s violations of the HIPAA Privacy Rule.
The CMP is based on the violation categories and increased penalty amounts authorized by Section 13410(d) of the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act.
“Ensuring that Americans’ health information privacy is protected is vital to our health care system and a priority of this Administration. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is serious about enforcing individual rights guaranteed by the HIPAA Privacy Rule,” said HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
In a Notice of Proposed Determination issued Oct. 20, 2010, OCR found that Cignet violated 41 patients’ rights by denying them access to their medical records when requested between September 2008 and October 2009. These patients individually filed complaints with OCR, initiating investigations of each complaint. The HIPAA Privacy Rule requires that a covered entity provide a patient with a copy of their medical records within 30 (and no later than 60) days of the patient’s request. The CMP for these violations is $1.3 million.
During the investigations, Cignet refused to respond to OCR’s demands to produce the records. Additionally, Cignet failed to cooperate with OCR’s investigations of the complaints and produce the records in response to OCR’s subpoena. OCR filed a petition to enforce its subpoena in United States District Court and obtained a default judgment against Cignet on March 30, 2010. On April 7, 2010, Cignet produced the medical records to OCR, but otherwise made no efforts to resolve the complaints through informal means.
OCR also found that Cignet failed to cooperate with OCR’s investigations on a continuing daily basis from March 17, 2009, to April 7, 2010, and that the failure to cooperate was due to Cignet’s willful neglect to comply with the Privacy Rule. Covered entities are required under law to cooperate with the Department’s investigations. The CMP for these violations is $3 million.
“Covered entities and business associates must uphold their responsibility to provide patients with access to their medical records, and adhere closely to all of HIPAA’s requirements,” said OCR Director Georgina Verdugo. “The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services will continue to investigate and take action against those organizations that knowingly disregard their obligations under these rules.”
Individuals who believe that a covered entity has violated their (or someone else’s) health information privacy rights or committed another violation of the HIPAA Privacy or Security Rule may file a complaint with OCR athttp://www.hhs.gov/ocr/privacy/hipaa/complaints/index.html.
