Default Social worker's perjury trial to start Wednesday

Social worker's perjury trial to start Wednesday

http://www.wcfcourier.com/articles/2...ca0042e13e.txt

INDEPENDENCE --- The trial for a Buchanan County social worker charged
with three counts of perjury is slated to begin Wednesday.

Marie Mahler, 39, of Cedar Falls, is accused of filing three child
welfare reports with the courts between Aug. 27, 2004, and Oct. 7, 2004,
that contained false information.

Court documents state Mahler's reports included several
misrepresentations of conversations, events and relationships of people
involved in a child custody case between Denise Gander of Jesup and
Allen Gardner of Tripoli.

The child-in-need-of-assistance case began in February 2004 after
Gander's two youngest children, a boy and a girl, tested positive for
having methamphetamine in their systems. The children were placed with
relatives.

Meanwhile, Gander and Gardner began a legal battle for the girl, who is
Gardner's daughter. Mahler's reports were filed during this time period,
according to court documents.

Mahler is employed by the Iowa Department of Human Services and has had
her license since 1998. She has no record of disciplinary action,
according to the Iowa Bureau of Professional Licensing, and her license
is active.

State officials said it is unusual for a social worker to be charged
with perjury for information included in a report.

Perjury is a Class D felony punishable by up to five years in prison.
The trial is expected to last three days.





CURRENTLY CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES VIOLATES MORE CIVIL RIGHTS ON A
DAILY BASIS THEN ALL OTHER AGENCIES COMBINED INCLUDING THE NATIONAL
SECURITY AGENCY/CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY WIRETAPPING PROGRAMS....

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...

Social worker's perjury trial to start Wednesday


http://www.wcfcourier.com/articles/2...onal/cc9c3db41...


INDEPENDENCE --- The trial for a Buchanan County social worker charged
with three counts of perjury is slated to begin Wednesday.


Marie Mahler, 39, of Cedar Falls, is accused of filing three child welfare
reports with the courts between Aug. 27, 2004, and Oct. 7, 2004, that
contained false information.


Court documents state Mahler's reports included several misrepresentations
of conversations, events and relationships of people involved in a child
custody case between Denise Gander of Jesup and Allen Gardner of Tripoli.


The child-in-need-of-assistance case began in February 2004 after Gander's
two youngest children, a boy and a girl, tested positive for having
methamphetamine in their systems. The children were placed with relatives.


Meanwhile, Gander and Gardner began a legal battle for the girl, who is
Gardner's daughter. Mahler's reports were filed during this time period,
according to court documents.


Mahler is employed by the Iowa Department of Human Services and has had
her license since 1998. She has no record of disciplinary action,
according to the Iowa Bureau of Professional Licensing, and her license is
active.


State officials said it is unusual for a social worker to be charged with
perjury for information included in a report.


Perjury is a Class D felony punishable by up to five years in prison. The
trial is expected to last three days.


Hmm.. Iowa!


State motto: "We're *still* sorry about Vilsack. Honest."


It's unusual that a DHS CPS caseworker has a "license".


Since when?
Last I knew all needed to be licensed social workers. Have
the regulations for such changed recently?


What's the statute of limitations for this Kent?


Perjury has a SoL of seven years in the state of Iowa.
Since the alleged perjury occurred in 2004, the SoL hasn't
expired.
If your wondering about this in regards to your case, the SoL
has expired. You chose to do nothing and now there is nothing you can
do.


Misrepresentations about conversations and relationships?

How was THAT enough?


If the report was made under penalty of perjury, and it can be
proved BARD that she willingly submitted false information that rose
to the level of perjury, it would be enough.
Since she's going to trial, we can presume the county attorney
believes she committed perjury.


Kids tested positive for Meth, so WHY did this person LIE?


We can't know her motivation. Only she knows that. And this
presumes she did lie.
Being charged with a crime does not mean the person is
actually guilty of the crime.

FIVE YEARS in prison? Oh boy!


Up to five years. Actually, the way the law reads, No more
than five years, but I'm being picky. The end result is the same.

Iowa DHS CPS Caseworkers don't need
a Social Work education or license.


This is fairly new then. It used to be (back in 2002) that
they did. I've not had cause to check since then.


That's true nationwide, with few exceptions.

Even NASW members were surprised that
SW licenses are not required.

Hell Kent, most contract SOCIAL WORKERS
in Iowa have no SW license either!


You can, of course, offer a verifiable cite for this, right?


The board of Social Work says a license
is not required for Bachelors or below.


Not available is NOT the same as not required.
That aside, can you offer a cite for this claim?


We had one who had no license for SW
and no license for therapy bid did both for pay.


G What's the statute of limitations for this Kent?

KW Perjury has a SoL of seven years in the state of Iowa.

Can you point out the statute, Kent?


Of course. Unlike you, I don't make up facts. However, I was
in error regarding your case. The SoL is two years. You've long
since forfeited any hope of a successful suit.

Municipalities
2 Years
2 years for claims against state, requires written notice to State
Appeal Board within those 2 years.

Does Lisa know you'll never make her wealthy from your bogus
suit? Does she know that you opted to forfeit any chance of filing?

BZZT! You are STILL WRONG KENT!

I'll give you a clue.

Is Perjury a CIVIL COURT matter?


It can be, and since you wanted to sue based in part on what
you claim is perjury, it's relevant.
But continue to lie to yourself (and presumably Lisa)
regarding your futile suit.
