Texas Child Protection Caseworker is SCAM Artist

Caseworker charged with stealing gift card intended for child
Donor wanted card to go to boy in state custody, but authorities say
he never received it.

A state Child Protective Services caseworker is accused of stealing a
$200 gift card that was intended as a Christmas present for a child in
protective custody.

Leslie Alexandra St. Aubin, 45, was arrested Monday and charged with
two counts of felony credit card abuse and one misdemeanor count of
theft by a public servant.

According to court documents, police discovered that St. Aubin had
used the Target gift card as they were investigating a report of
credit card abuse at the Target and Wal-Mart stores in Georgetown on
Dec. 19.

Police determined that Georgetown attorney Sara Naylor had intended
for the gift card to be anonymously donated to a child who was in the
state's care as a Christmas gift.

St. Aubin had told Naylor that the child received the gift card and
used it to purchase music CDs, but the child told Naylor that he had
never received it, according to the documents.

In court documents, police say St. Aubin used a stolen credit card to
buy food and household goods at a Wal-Mart and clothing at Target. The
card's owner had mistakenly left it in a card reader at the Target
store, the documents said.

The gift card was used in the same transaction as a stolen credit
card, the documents said.

St. Aubin could not be reached for comment Wednesday.

Public records show that St. Aubin was arrested in March 2005 and
charged with theft by check. She pleaded no contest to issuance of a
bad check, a Class C misdemeanor offense, in July 2005 and was ordered
to pay a $25 fine and court costs.

St. Aubin has been employed by the Department of Family and Protective
Services as a CPS caseworker since November 2005, said Chris Van
Deusen, a spokesman for the department.

She received about three months of training before starting work as a
caseworker who monitors children's progress once they are in state
custody in Williamson County, Van Deusen said.

There are 10 such caseworkers, including St. Aubin, in Williamson
County, with an average of about 52 cases each, he said.

All department employees must pass a criminal background check before
they are hired, Van Deusen said. The department is working with law
enforcement to investigate the allegations, he said.

"We want to determine exactly what happened," Van Deusen said. "There
hasn't been any disciplinary action yet, but that's certainly a
possibility."

St. Aubin was also being held in connection with a misdemeanor theft
by check case in Travis County. She remained in the Williamson County
Jail on Wednesday, with bail set at $36,000.

So, then, Greg. What does this prove about families that are involved
with CPS?

Visitation Worker Cited Child still missing

A child welfare caseworker is out of a job and has been ticketed by
police in connection with the alleged parental abduction of a three-
year-old girl.

Daisy Acevedo has been missing since Monday and is presumed to be with
her mother, 19-year-old Norma Hernandez.

Visitation Specialist Anton McNair has been cited for providing false
information in the case.

Gennifer Amato, Executive Director at Owens & Associates in Omaha,
confirms that McNair is no longer employed with them. Owens &
Associates contracts with Child Protective Services.

Authorities say that at 3:50 p.m. on February 6th, McNair was being
questioned at Police Headquarters by an officer assigned by Child
Protective Services.

At the beginning of the interview McNair said that he and Daisy met
Norma on February 5th at 11:45 a.m. at the Gen-X store on South 24th
Street. McNair said that they started walking toward the No Frills
store with Norma holding Daisy. McNair said he thought Norma was
following him but he said the then turned around and Norma and Daisy
were gone.

Later in the interview McNair admitted that he had been lying. He then
said that he left Daisy with Norma at the Gen-X store while he went to
a nearby fast food.

In the meantime, the search for the child continues and while police
say they don't believe Daisy is in danger, a warrant is out for Norma
Hernandez for a custody violation.

Norma Hernandez is Hispanic, 5' 2" tall, weighing 120 pounds. She has
brown hair.

Daisy Acevedo is 3' tall and weighs 30 pounds.

Anyone who knows where they are, should call Omaha police at 444-5818.

Yeah, this is much worse, but less common, than some out of work thug,
claiming he's on 'sabbatical' moving in with a vulnerable single
mother and her little daughter and conning the mother into supporting
him while he does 'child care' for three or four years, three of which
includes no child, having lost that child to CPS custody.

It's about a thieving CASEWORKER, so what
do you think it proves about families that
are involved with CPS?

From the news report:
Later in the interview McNair admitted that he had been lying. He then
said that he left Daisy with Norma at the Gen-X store while he went to

Your ignorance is bliss.

But the real story here is the great supervision of
Contractors, a huge part of the Child Protection
INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX.

One down, how many more to go?

Let me see now. You have one contracted worker, apparently visiting
one family unit, mother and daughter.

How many state workers do you think should have been supervising the
contract worker?

Or do you catch on?

Well, given the situation, as portrayed, "...one contracted worker,
apparently visiting
one family unit, mother and daughter," I'd say none.

Truth is, it's a fraction. One state worker to X number of contract
agencies, who in turn supervise their employees, again, by a fraction,
that is one supervisor to probably anywhere from 5 to 10 field or line
workers.

If I said "one" that would mean for every contract worker there would
have to be a state worker supervising. That or any error, oversight,
or malpractice commited could be blamed on the state.

Is that not correct, Greg?

So I'll ask you again, as you dodged the issue this time. Or do you
want to continue to be clever and show how unethical you are?

Some facts that gregg does not have.

1. Owens and Associates is a contract agency, but its employee's are not
social workers.

2. All employees of Owens and Associates have college degree's.

3. Owens and Associates took appropriate action in firing the employee that
allowed this to happen.

4. I am not employed by Owens and Associates, but I know quite a few of the
people who are.

5. This happened last week, was on the local news, and the child still has
not been found.

Now gregg, you have some actual facts to work from. The headline here
should not be about the lies of the visitation worker but about the mother
kidnapping the child from state custody and the reasons that the child was
in state custody in the first place.

Once again gregg, you missed the important parts. Seems to be becoming a
major theme in your life. You might want to rethink your position, before
you take that last step off the bridge.
