SIS & CPS Vent

Well the one that called me was Natasha, and she was just the Immediate Agent... an actual Case Worker was called in after that... donno if those are the official titles involved but that's what I was told. The only number I have is for Natasha, and she wouldn't even answer the phone OR call back when I tried to reach her just 30 mins after I'd spoken to her when she was still an active participant in the case. Now that she's no longer involved I don't see her giving a rat's patoot.

Besides, they KNOW her history. It's right there in black and white. They saw her failed UA, this time and all the times before. They know all about it and still are doing this. They didn't mention it at ALL last time. It was KK here, Sis there period. Same reasons, drug use, same people, same kid, same agency. So, I'm not sure what changed, maybe some new regulation? A new judge? Agent's choice? I really don't know, but they know the facts... more so than even I do since I can't access those records and can only go by what Sis and the agents have told me... and BOTH have been caught in lies... so, if they have the facts and still make this call I don't know what my say could matter. Plus, who would I call? The 800 number is to report true, but right this minute the kids aren't in her care, so what's to report? And once they are in her care again she'll be taking tests, classes, monitored already... assuming I even saw the kids and could give an honest report... why would they believe me over what they see (or chose not to) already?

*sigh* I just don't get this attitude... hers or CPSs either.

Ohhh speaking of attitude changes... Mum's buying a house in Tarrant specifically so she can qualify for JPS health... sort of a discount insurance plan for low income people... 1 you have to be in TC 2 is income. She was denied because she has money from divorce/house... she's planning to dump ALL of that into this new house (mind she also owns one in Arlington) and then have nothing in her bank account so she will qualify... that kind of bugs me... manipulating a system... she says "Everyone else does it so why shouldn't I?"

This from a mom... mom's say "If your friend jumped off a cliff..." and yet, here she is following the lemmings right on over... and sees nothing wrong with it... legally there isn't, but morally... *sigh* It is just disturbing that instead of passing her (former) hardworking, saving, investing, honest ideals on to the rash, welfare using, never employed, drug using daughter... instead she's picking up the use and abuse the system (when you don't even NEED it) attitude... I just don't get it.

Sorry I forgot to update... Sis looked up the number for HQ in Austin... called her caseworker (who hasn't visited as supposed to, holidays, vacation, illness, busy, every excuse in the book) and told her that if things don't get moving (since they've done everything ever asked of them) that she was calling in to HQ... caseworker says "Whatta ya know my Supervisor just walked in! I'll talk to her and call you right back!" (yeah right, prolly panicked but whatever) Calls her back and says she'll be there at 6:30, with good news. Sis called me back to say she came, did a drug test (didn't realize they had those for immediate results, that's awesome) and since they passed it the kids can come home. (no judge signing or anything??). Sis asked when, how long (expecting paperwork you know) and she said she could go get them right now.

So, kids are home... gone for a good six months... but FINALLY home. Hopefully Sis'll keep her head on straight and not bring this down on them again.

OH, and one other thing she learned since her caseworker was suddenly being so nice... a CPS worker can't tell you who called in on you on an OPEN case... but they can check records for OLD stuff. Turns out Mummy Dearest has called 20... TWENTY times... Sis hasn't had to deal with 20 investigations so I guess they're blowing some of them off (which I thought they were not allowed to do?)... and now the kids are back Mom's already threatened to call in on her again... since Sis had Uncle (Mom's Bro) over for supper... *gasp* how dare she

... but then less than a week later Mom's calling me and her and wanting my DD and KK to come out... as far as roller coasters go I'd rather go to Six Flags.

Thank all y'all for your words of wisdom and support and think happy drug free thoughts... and "episode" free thoughts for Mom too pretty please.
