Butler County settles suit out of court
Pa.: Butler County commissioners signed off on a $20,000 out-of-court
settlement Wednesday with a Butler woman who claimed the county's children and
youth services agency had wrongly removed her children from her home.
Solicitor Julie Graham said settling the claim is less expensive than
defending the county against it, and it includes no admission of wrongdoing.
She estimated that legal fees and the cost of investigation would amount to
$60,000 to $70,000, with Insurance paying all of that amount except $25,000,
which would come directly from county coffers.
The money goes to Regina Bush, the mother of four children who were removed
from her home for a period of several months, Graham said. Bush filed the suit
in U.S. Federal Court in Pittsburgh in February 2003.
The suit was filed one month after the county settled a similar claim with
a county woman who contended custody of her child was taken away from her
unduly.
The county paid Sherrie Klingensmith $5,000. She said children and youth
services had taken her child "without due process of law" in the summer of
2002.

Won't take many more actions like these to seriously impede CPS. When
it
comes to money... anything is possible.

There are other active lawsuits in Beaver County and a local attorney is
pursuing the Constitutional issues involved.

Beaver will fall next.

Today's Chicago Tribune.... after falsely arrested and being charged with
'molesting' kids in here day-care center 15 years ago... a woman and
received a $750,000 settlement from police (six cops) and the county
prosecutor's office. The original award was 15 million.. but court delays,
appeals, etc. denied justice due. The woman accepted the small amount to
stop the appeals.

Hmmm... seems to me moaning moms have dead-beat dads thrown in jail for not
paying up.

Thanks for sending that in, Bobb.

It's good to know when falsely accused folks obtain some settlement.

Waiting for Stoll in California.

And he was kept in prison for so long (20 years) partly b/c he would NOT
acknowledge that he sexually abused children.

Turns out, he did NOT.

Sending what in, Fern? Do you still not know how to post?

Of course it is. When did this happen?

Waiting for Stoll in California.

Who is Stoll? Are you still thinking you are in a coffee party or on
life chat?

And he was kept in prison for so long (20 years) partly b/c he would NOT
acknowledge that he sexually abused children.

Was he? How do we know this?

Turns out, he did NOT.

He didn't? How do we know this?

What kind of reference is this? Where would anyone find such a
reference? Good grief, Fern.
