Jan 10, 2008, News Report

Auditors estimated that more than $111,000 could be saved on an annual
basis by DCF by canceling unused cell phones and by implementing better
monitoring of employees' cell phone use.

Connecticut Gov. M. Jodi Rell on Wednesday announced that she has
directed all state agencies to implement certain cost-saving measures
following an audit report on the operations of the Department of
Children and Families (DCF). The report by the Auditors of Public
Accounts identified a number of areas where significant cost savings
could be achieved, including cell phone use and motor vehicle fuel for
state vehicles.

"Any wasteful expenditure of taxpayers' dollars is unacceptable," said
Rell. "I have directed all state agencies to make the necessary changes
to their cell phone and motor vehicle fuel usage procedures. These are
simple, common-sense measures that will save real money and promote
proper spending."

The audit specifically found that DCF was paying for 258 cell phones
that were never used over the time period covered by the audit. It also
found that 50 percent of cell phone use occurred on days when employees
were not at work.

Rell directed all state agencies to cancel any cell phones not currently
being used and to institute better monitoring of cell phone use.

The auditors estimated that more than $111,000 could be saved on an
annual basis by DCF by canceling unused cell phones and by implementing
better monitoring of employees' cell phone use.


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

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.
