SEATTLE, WA - How bad are things at DSHS?
Ken Schram: Help me fix the DSHS
http://www.komotv.com/features/kenschram/8745047.html SEATTLE - How bad are things at DSHS? Bad enough for officials with the Pierce County Sheriff's Department to tell me that the agency is no where near doing what it should to protect children. That candid assessment comes after yet another incident in which DSHS ignored reports that a child was being tortured by his step-grandmother. According to the sheriffs, the woman would slice the boy's legs with a fork and then pour vinegar on the wounds. They also say that the boy was choked to the point of blacking out and that he had the bottoms of his feet whipped with bamboo. Six times over the past 3 years, school officials and neighbors called DSHS about suspected abuse, but it wasn't until Pierce County Sheriff's took a report that the woman was finally arrested last week. Even then, DSHS returned the boy to the grandmother's house because the agency had a 'safety plan'. Well that plan failed since the child was locked in his room until he was finally taken away and placed in a receiving home. Look, DSHS needs to be grabbed by its bureaucratic short hairs and dragged to accountability. No more dead and tortured and abused kids. No more DSHS excuses and cover-ups. No more complacency from the governor. I've got my ideas. Yours are welcome. NOTE: With a promise of anonymity, I would ask DSHS employees, or former employees, to please contact me. And I'll make the same request, with the same promise of anonymity, to any law enforcement officers. Have something to say to Ken? E-mail him at . CURRENTLY CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES VIOLATES MORE CIVIL RIGHTS ON A DAILY BASIS THEN ALL OTHER AGENCIES COMBINED INCLUDING THE NSA / CIA WIRETAPPING PROGRAM.... CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES, HAPPILY DESTROYING HUNDREDS 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... |
