Kansas Family Rights Coalition News Letter March 2012

Mar 2012 Kansas Family Rights Coalition News Letter

Dec 6th, 2011 Sue McKenna Retired from SRS Great News!

Kansas Assistant Director of Children and Family Services, Roberta Sue McKenna, participated in a panel discussion which included Kansas Attorney/Guardian Ad Litems, and Judges. This was titled "KTWU's Abused, Neglected, Protected: When Children Go to Court" which was produced by nonprofit Washburn University.
The discussion aired on KPTS Channel 8 on Tuesday Feb 22, 2011

Roberta Sue McKenna worked directly under Tanya Keys who was the Director of Children and Family Services.
Why is McKenna misleading the public on time spent in care and making foster care look like a walk in the park?

McKenna said, "64% go home within 12 months.. another substantial percentage go home in less than two years. So most of the children who are removed from their parents custody return to their parents custody.....
(Regarding time spent in care)...less than 12 months.. Just think, if we could all remember how long it took to get to Christmas. How much time there was between birthdays..."


FACTS: The number of Kansas children served in Out of Home Placement in FY2010 was 8,275
The number of Kansas children reunified in FY2010 was 1,720
The total percentage of children reunified in FY2010 was 20%...NOT 64% as McKenna said.

FACTS: Kansas children average length of time in care FY2010 was 19.4 months
Sedgwick County children average length of time in care FY2010 was 30.7 months

Colorado Mom Arranges Adoption Through Adoption Agency, Preadoptive Dad Abuses The Baby

PRATT - A 33-year-old man has been arrested by the Pratt Police on charges relating to injuries sustained by a 2-month-old child while in his care.

James I. Middleton is being held in the Pratt County Jail on two counts of aggravated battery. Bond has been set at $50,000.
The child, whose name is being withheld, was being adopted through a Colorado adoption agency after the birth mother contacted the Middleton family through an Internet ad.
Did the adoption agency even meet this person?

Kansas is getting ready to have a "Case of the GILMORE'S"

Ever feel sick, got the flu and it lasts for a week?

Or maybe you have a nasty cold that turns into bronchitis.

Well that's NOTHING compared to what Kansas is getting ready to incur.

 

Kansas is getting ready to have a "Case of the GILMORE'S"

 

 

 

 

That would be the newly appointed SRS Secretary Phyllis Gilmore if she is confirmed.

And the "Case of the Gilmore's" is not going to go away in a week or 2 months.

 

 

 

 

 

Here is some history on Phyllis Gilmore...As Executive Director for 11 years over the Kansas Behavioral Sciences Regulatory Board, Gilmore was responsible for monitoring Social Workers. During her time, many families reported Social Workers for not following policies and procedures, HIPPA Laws, and Kansas laws.. Phyllis Gilmore and her staff refused to investigate Social Workers claiming "no jurisdiction".

Gilmore and her cohorts were questioned in a closed meeting in March of 2008 about refusing to investigate these cases. You can read more about that here and watch the video. 

http://changingkansas.blogspot.com/2012/02/phyllis-gilmore-secretary-of-srscps-is.html

 

The Senate Confirmation Oversight Committee will debate whether to recommend the appointment to the full Senate, which will probably vote on Gilmore’s appointment within about a month. It is IMPERATIVE that everyone contact every Senator in Kansas ASAP to recommend that Gilmore NOT be approved for this position.

 

Don't get a "Case of the GiLMORE'S"... write all Kansas Senators to ask that Phyllis Gilmore NOT BE CONFIRMED as the next SRS Secretary of SRS.  Pass this on!

The Broken Arm, By Matthew Brown (9nth grade essay, a few years ago)

This is the brother of the eight year old girl who was interrogated in Reno County. 

 

Matthew wrote, "After that terrible, terrible February 11th, we had been in foster care for three days before we were finally allowed to see our parents. They had won their case ( but at the cost of my mom losing her business ).　I remember sitting in my fathers lap, as watching him cry for the veryfirst time. I could tell how happy my parents were to see us again, and I knew that they loved me. This had been one of the saddest and hardest times of my life. I don’t think that I will ever forget that moment"
