Randy Wimbley Covers Trafficking Tiny Humans In Detroit - But Will He Cover The Fox 2 Detroit Involvement?

Randy Wimbley, Fox 2 News Detroit, is covering a story on trafficking tiny humans.

I remember when Fox 2 News was the proud sponsors, handing out lovely crystal carved awards to St. Vincent Sarah Fisher Residential Center.

I wonder if Randy is going to tell that story.

Yes, it all started in Detroit.

Just ask Betsy DeVos.

Welcome to the Michigan Child Welfare System.

This is what I like to call the output of the system, where Michigan grooms these children who were Legally Kidnapped by Child Protective Services, the input.

The throughput is the part where these kids are drugged, raped, tortured, all billed to Medicaid.

There are four different ways of getting out of foster care:

1. Death;
2. Run away;
3. Adoption;
4. Age out.

Returning to the family is typically never an option as poverty is the crime of abuse and neglect, where the only way to access mental health treatment is through voluntary placement.

There are no civil rights in foster care and adoption and its story has never been told before, in the major news outlets.

This is Davenport, a Spectrum Health Services affiliate, of Bethany Christian Services.

Yes, That Is Correct, Michigan Prepares Youth For Human Trafficking

Please keep in mind, if these Foster Care agencies do not have acquisition models for the chattel of children, then how can they procure the state and federal contracts to continue to maximize revenues, and keep their doors open for the business of trafficking tiny humans?

The State of Michigan will come back with a Corrective Action Plan, that no one will follow up with because no one cares, because there is too much money involved in keep funding political campaigns.

Shelter runaways being pulled into human trafficking

(FOX 2) - The problems at Davenport Shelter began long before a 15-year-old girl was allegedly raped after running away from the state licensed housing facility for troubled girls on Detroit’s east side. 

According to state records, The Department of Health and Human Services launched a number of special investigations into the shelter dating back to 2011.

Davenport has been flagged for a number of violations ranging from inadequate staffing, overcrowding, a lack of supervision that allowed residents to have sexual contact with one another and the alleged sexual assault of a girl who ran away from Davenport and had been missing for a week in March of 2018. 

FOX 2 went to Spectrum Child and Family Services in Westland, the company that operates the shelter, and were told to leave. Our calls and requests for an interview went unanswered.

“I'm very upset and it's totally heartbreaking just to see the story on the news and to know my baby girl is there and I can't do nothing about it right now,” said Iesha Riley who has a goddaughter placed at Davenport.

Riley’s 10-year-old goddaughter was placed at Davenport in September and has ran away several times.

According to state records, Davenport has been cited for not having enough staffers to keep girls from leaving the shelter.

Police say 2 girls were nearly taken to Georgia to be sold for sex after running away from Davenport in January. One of the teens says she was raped.

“I keep running it in my head that them girls had got rescued from being on they way shipped to Atlanta,” Riley said. “Anytime she walk out the door, she go to the left of walking out that door, it's a neighborhood. Big vacant houses. Any kind of predator could be right there.”

There are nine sex offenders living within a quarter mile of the shelter, according to the state’s sex offender registry. There are nearly a thousand within 5-miles.

“When I was over there, I've seen guys pulling up. Sitting in front of there in front of the door like they waiting on girls to come out,” Riley said.

The Department of Health and Human Services opened another investigation into Davenport after our reporting on the 2 runaways back in January and the confrontation with the staffer about the problems there.

Do Not Blame CPS, Blame Michigan

To begin, I do not believe these Child Protective Services workers should be blamed for the child's death for the following reasons, so let us start with the "Right To Lie" federal case which sets forth the question:

Wayne County CPS Workers Elaine Brown and Kelly Williams
blamed for the death of Aaron Minor

"Do social workers have the right to lie, generate false evidence, and submit into the public record for removing a child from the home."

In this report, it is unknown if these workers lied which is really not at issue here.

What is at issue are roles and responsibilities of the players in child welfare.

Let us take a bottom up look at statutory authority in the food chain of child welfare.

CPS operates as the intake under the powers of the State, not local, which means the role of prosecution does not fall upon Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy, but instead, upon the State Attorney General.

Wayne County is the only county of the State where the State Attorney General prosecutes child welfare cases.

Next, upon review of the statements of the anonymous child welfare worker, who, obviously does not possess a legal background, fails to even realize that the one main, and constitutional, reason why the Detroit Police Department will not just bust into a home, based on what CPS calls "exigent circumstances", is because police are supposed to possess a signed warrant, not rubber stamped.

But, as I have always said, there are no civil rights in child welfare.

Continuing on up the CPS food chain, Wayne County Child Protective Services follow the policies set by the State of Michigan, under the leadership of the Department of Health and Human Services, where the latest Director Nick Lyon, who is too busy preparing for his legal defense, with the taxpayers dimes, is a tad bit too busy to address the egregious fraudulent billing, including civil and human rights violations of human trafficking in child welfare.

In child welfare, each state-county section of the state system has quota in the number of removals, and/or cases opened under child welfare, in order to maintain levels of operations and its federal funding.

If one ever took the time to do a time series of expenditures...what a minute, I constructed that model over a decade ago... one will observe, with crystal clarity, that it should appear as odd that each year there is not volatility in caseloads.

Same number of cases opened; same number of cases sustained; same number of foster care placements; same number of termination of parental rights.

This is what is called benchmarks and if the state does not meet its previous year's benchmarks, then, they lose federal dollars, of which I have alleged for over a decade, that the State uses a portion of federal funds (FFP) as its state participation rate obligations.

That is a major "no-no", but of course, state officials are too busy in the criminal investigation of the players in the Flint Water Crisis, oh, and I forgot to mention, still under federal oversight of its child welfare system.

But of course, for those who are loyal fans very well know, there were substantial errors in that particular case because HHS lied to the federal court.

Without going into my ad nauseum on that federal oversight case with Children's Rights, there was not a peep on the filing of false cost reimbursements or that magical and secretively omnipotent organization called Michigan Children's Institute, which has never been audited.

This takes us to the upper echelon of Michigan's child welfare administration where many of its leadership, civil servants and contractual arms, are playing the immunity game.

What I mean by the immunity game is that the state slammed through a bunch of laws, washing its hands of responsibility with its child welfare contracts, meaning, the Bureau of Child and Adult Licensing does not possess the authority to accept grievances, let alone conduct and refer suspected violations of law and policy to the Attorney General.

Heck, the Office of Children's Ombudsman (OCO) does not even refer suspected violations of law and policy to the Attorney General, because they still operate on that deflective policy of "valid-not-opened".

If, in the even the OCO actually does find violations, it is sequestered from the public due to those lovely privacy laws in child welfare, because, as we all know, well, at least the state administrators do, the Attorney General exists in that particular conundrum of contemporaneously "advising and advocating".

How can the State Attorney General prosecute these CPS workers when it is obligated to defend its actors while it prosecutes child abuse and neglect in Wayne County?

I cannot fail to mention that the State Automatic Child Welfare Information System (SACWIS) sucks, badly.

Data reporting is not just incomplete by its users, but it is redundant and technologically arcane, intentionally designed to omit "certain" reporting variables.

Ok, in this particular case, CPS had a referral from a mandatory reporter to check on a mental health patient, who, more than likely, according to the report, was in a situation of "food scarcity".

Food scarcity is the fancy new term which means the state has significantly cut, or even, severed, SNAP food benefits.

Now, let us examine this particular component of the story.

The mother was poor, with mental health needs she was obviously addressing, which means to mean she was receiving Social Supplemental Income, federal welfare, as the national trend is to dissolve the social safety net without any replacement.

If she was receiving $733 a month, that means her SNAP benefits were cut to $18 a month, which includes a child in the home.

This means if she needed food, as the shift is to send the poor to the food pantries, praytell, my gentle readers, how is a mother, with disabilities and an infant, supposed to: (1) get to the food pantry without transportation as some set distribution in vehicle food lines; and, (2) get to and from the food pantry having to pay bus fare from her monthly allotment of $733, and pay her bills?

Let us not even waste our precious time to contemplate if the mentally ill have the ability to even execute this aforementioned food gathering task.

Drive through food line distribution of the week for a
family of 4. (Industrial case of mustard, 2 cabbage, 4 butternut squash,
pre-rotten tomatoes, 2 bags of rice, out-dated milk,
and frozen-thawed-frozen-thawing chicken quarters.)

But wait, it gets better.  The food pantries are running out of food.

I do not know about the rest of you, but to me, the unraveling of the social safety net for the most vulnerable, or rather, "The Poors", is a scheme to hustle more federal dollars through privatization, because someone has to make a profit and these poorly trained CPS workers. lacking of resources for proper referrals to prevent situations such as this tragedy, should not be held liable for the unintended death of the child.

The same poor quality of services can be seen in mental health.

They, the CPS workers, were, including the mother and the child she just lost, are part of the food chain in the perverse child welfare system which is only a foreshadowing of its final stage of privatization.

It is my belief that the workers possesses legal claims against the State of Michigan and should be approached by the legal community.

Call me, I will consult.

This is a principal-agent issue where the State should be blamed and federal court oversight should continue.

What say thee, Attorney General Bill Schuette?
