Montana Sheriff’s wife embezzled welfare money, food stamps from Department of Health and Human Services.
Sheriff’s wife embezzled welfare money, food stamps
The Associated Press http://www.greatfallstribune.com/app...EWS01/70921012 A former state employee has pleaded guilty to embezzling $194,000 in federal money intended to help needy families. Lynn Rosenberg, 50, of Harlowton, pleaded guilty Thursday to theft from a state government program receiving federal funding, theft of federal money and aggravated identity theft. Rosenberg, the wife of Wheatland County Sheriff Jim Rosenberg, worked for the state Department of Public Health and Human Services as an eligibility examiner. Assistant U.S. Attorney Carl Rostad said evidence would show that for 10 years beginning in 1996, Lynn Rosenberg devised a scheme to steal money by reactivating dormant accounts of clients who had left the area and creating new case files, taking a total of $194,000 from the food stamp program and Temporary Aid to Needy Families program. The food stamp program is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture while TANF is funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. An investigation by the FBI and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Office of Inspector General found that Rosenberg reactivated or opened new files on 46 previous clients and created at least six accounts for fictitious persons. She made up case notes and sent checks, food stamps and cards used to make electronic transactions for benefits to post office boxes she controlled, prosecutors said. The investigation started after Montana’s Public Assistance Bureau, while checking Montana beneficiaries against a national database, found a payment approved by Rosenberg to an Oregon truck driver who had been making $80,000 a year since 2003. He told the bureau he had not received benefits since leaving Wheatland County in 1991. Rosenberg’s attorney Vern Woodward said the state has agreed to drop 14 state felony charges stemming from the investigation because Rosenberg pleaded guilty to the federal charges. U.S. Magistrate Judge Carolyn Ostby scheduled sentencing for January and released Rosenberg without bail. CURRENTLY CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES VIOLATES MORE CIVIL RIGHTS ON A DAILY BASIS THEN ALL OTHER AGENCIES COMBINED INCLUDING THE NSA / CIA WIRETAPPING PROGRAM.... CPS Does not protect children... It is sickening how many children are subject to abuse, neglect and even killed at the hands of Child Protective Services. every parent should read this .pdf from connecticut dcf watch... http://www.connecticutdcfwatch.com/8x11.pdf http://www.connecticutdcfwatch.com Number of Cases per 100,000 children in the US These numbers come from The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect in Washington. (NCCAN) Recent numbers have increased significantly for CPS *Perpetrators of Maltreatment* Physical Abuse CPS 160, Parents 59 Sexual Abuse CPS 112, Parents 13 Neglect CPS 410, Parents 241 Medical Neglect CPS 14 Parents 12 Fatalities CPS 6.4, Parents 1.5 Imagine that, 6.4 children die at the hands of the very agencies that are supposed to protect them and only 1.5 at the hands of parents per 100,000 children. CPS perpetrates more abuse, neglect, and sexual abuse and kills more children then parents in the United States. If the citizens of this country hold CPS to the same standards that they hold parents too. No judge should ever put another child in the hands of ANY government agency because CPS nationwide is guilty of more harm and death than any human being combined. CPS nationwide is guilty of more human rights violations and deaths of children then the homes from which they were removed. When are the judges going to wake up and see that they are sending children to their death and a life of abuse when children are removed from safe homes based on the mere opinion of a bunch of social workers. CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES, HAPPILY DESTROYING THOUSANDS OF INNOCENT FAMILIES YEARLY NATIONWIDE AND COMING TO YOU'RE HOME SOON... BE SURE TO FIND OUT WHERE YOUR CANDIDATES STANDS ON THE ISSUE OF REFORMING OR ABOLISHING CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES ("MAKE YOUR CANDIDATES TAKE A STAND ON THIS ISSUE.") THEN REMEMBER TO VOTE ACCORDINGLY IF THEY ARE "FAMILY UNFRIENDLY" IN THE NEXT ELECTION... |
