File size in bytes
1. Has this file been released before anywhere on or off line? We have given these documents to our attorney but no action was filed, statute of limitations has expired. The court document is PUBLIC RECORD in Michigan, but we have no knowledge of other releases. The Catholic Social Services of Wayne County Michigan Document "Record of Admission" is part of our foster file and is confidential and not releasable under the Freedom of Information Act.
2. Why is this file important? Foster care agencies collect administrative fees when a foster child is moved. Ryan was moved for one week in October 2001 for vacation placement, but never moved from our home after that, never moved twice in 2002 as the court record falsely indicates. To our knowledge and belief Catholic Social Services of Wayne County Michigan USA routinely MOVES children on PAPER ONLY and fraudulently collects administration fees at taxpayers expense. Laura Hudson Burrell submitted the false information to the court and her name appears in the court document. Furthermore, Catholic Social Services routinely falsifies documents: http://www.dleg.state.mi.us/fhs/brs/reports/CB820201024_SIR_2007C0208050.pdf
3. What is the likely audience? Former and current Foster Parents; Adoptive Parents; Biologic Parents; Taxpayers; Child advocates
4. What are some approaches to verification (who can journalists call for comment etc)? Mark and Susan Sweetman, 734-956-4168. Court records for this file are available at the Third Judicial Circuit (Court) - Juvenile Division 1025 East Forest, Detroit, Michigan 48207 USA case #01-397,031, but the court file has "disappeared" twice in the past; Our foster home file is located at Catholic Social Services of Wayne County 9851 Hamilton, Detroit, Michigan USA but we have not been allowed to view it, some documents are releasable under the Freedom of Information Act. http://www.dleg.state.mi.us/brs_cwl/dt_cwl.asp?CWL_NBR=CB820201024&cnty_name=WAYNE Special investigation number 2006C0208017 complaint came from us and ALL our allegations are TRUE despite the licensing office not making a finding on most of our accusations. The addendum also proves how the licensing agency attempts to cover up the foster care agency wrongdoing. http://www.dleg.state.mi.us/fhs/brs/reports/CB820201024_SIR_2006C0208017.pdf
5. Why was it leaked? This is FRAUD, it costs the taxpayers money, and it needs to be published. Foster children are routinely moved on PAPER ONLY, it happens all the time. This gives agencies incentive to keep children in foster care and not find permanent homes for foster children.
6. Is there some event that means the document needs to published urgently? There is not anything urgent. Children in foster care generate revenue for private agencies, adoption stops the revenue, but these documents speak to falsification of facts. Two siblings of "Ryan Kyle Jones Buck" remain in foster care. The brother is about to age out of the system and the infant sister has been denied adoption TWICE with two good families. The third family applying to adopt her is currently licensed foster parent with Catholic Social Services of Wayne County, also adoptive parents of a sibling, the infant should have been placed in their home prior to court hearing February 12, 2008, but delay indicates that the third family will be a target of false accusations in order to keep the child in foster care.
