Dear Brave Elk and Red Fox -

Your Great Grandfather fought bravely in WWII for what he believed in. He was a good man. I will fight the war with CYS for what I believe in. You are good boys. Both brave and wise. I love you more then infinity. Someday we WILL be together again. I know that my grandsons may never see this page but it will remain online in the hopes that they will one day KNOW that their Nanny never gave up hope!

THE RESULT OF THE PROMISED STATE INVESTIGATION

Well, as I expected, my supposed "investigation" by the State Department of Public Welfare, into my allegations was NON-EXISTANT FOLKS! When my daughter and I arrived at the office of Berks Cty. C&Y, we were ushered into a tiny room with members of BCCYS, their attorney, and the most miserable example of an investigator I have ever met. Mr. Brian Waugh, the man surely paid well to make people such as myself "go away", opened the meeting with an apology for not making it to the last meeting due to the flooding in Allentown. (A meeting I was never informed was canceled and which I managed to attend despite the fact that I was coming from another state). Mr. Waugh's second statement was "I have read your allegations. I do not believe any of them. You can not substantiate any of them and this is not what we are here for today". As far as I knew that WAS the purpose of the meeting. I asked for an investigation into the lies I was told by BCCYS to gain control of the boys. After all I WAS THE PARTY WHO REQUESTED AN INVESTIGATION AND MEETING! I asked Mr. Waugh directly why this allegation continues to be TOTALLY IGNORED. His reply? You can't substantiate that. I don't believe you." I informed him that I have witnesses and that these statements were made to other people beside myself. I produced letters written by my witnesses. Mr. Waugh tossed them aside claiming that they were not notaarized and so were not "real" and that he didn't believe me! Imagine my witnesses suprise when they found out they were "not real and wrote unsubstantiated claims". Apparently Mr. Waugh also wears the hat of "Judge" as well.

So - THAT was the entire extent of my promised investigation by Leonard Pocius of the Office of Children, Youth and Familes Northeast Regional Office. Well THANK YOU MR. POCIUS. I am eternally grateful that your investigation team isn't currently working for our military.

I was chastised by the attorney for BCCYS for posting photos of my grandchildren on the internet - accused of being irresponsible by doing this. When I countered with my question of "What sets my photos of my grandsons apart from the thousands of photos of children available for adoption", I was told "That is DIFFERENT"!

Perhaps she is correct. My grandsons pictures were posted by someone who loves them to the ends of the earth and who would anything to get them back. The pictures of the available adoptees are posted be agencies who view them as transferable profitable goods.

To this date, we stilll have not had any contact with the boys at all. I have no idea if my letters ever reach my grandsons eyes. I hope and pray they can feel my thoughts and prayers. I believe that love transends all. Please keep us in your prayers.

Thank you for taking the time to have read this far. I wish you well.

CPS - THE LOSING BATTLE

I BELIEVE I HAVE A MUCH CLEARER INSIGHT INTO WHY I HAVE MET WITH SO MUCH OPPOSITION AND FRUSTRATION IN THE LOSS OF MY GRANDSONS. Please review the following documents particulary the last two links. This is a crisis happening on a much larger scale then I imagined and is affecting thousands of children's lives, not to mention the countless family members on the sidelines. In one sense it is good to know that I am not just fabricating scenarios in my mind and becoming an old bittter woman. My suspicions are VALIDATED. Unfortuantely, I wish it WERE just me. Please become acquainted with this horrible process so that perhaps YOU might be able to save some other child and/or their family members from the utter desolation that my family has undergone. It is my hope that someone somewhere will manage to keep their family intact because of my effortsm as well as thay of others who have suffered as I have. I am not alone.
I THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR TIME AND CONTINUED SUPPORT!

I AM LOOKING FOR OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THEIR FAMILIES DESTROYED DUE TO THE UNLAWFUL ACTIONS OF CHILDREN AND YOUTH!

If you are a parent that had their child removed due to drug addictions, alcohol addictions, true abuse of any kind, perhaps it was for the best, and although I sympathize with you, please do NOT REPORT these types of stories to me. Thank You and I wish you a healthier life!

These children whom I adore more then life itself were literally yanked from their biological family by Berks County Children & Youth thru lies and DISINFORMATION (deliberate misleadings). They were immediately placed in a Foster Care Home thru Coby's Family Care, based out of Lancaster. They are being adopted out to this family in a matter of only six (6) months. These are children whom I had in MY care and whom I had a CUSTODY CASE STILL OPEN for when they were removed. I was told by an intake worker (whose name I am FORBIDDEN TO USE, or they have threatened me with a lawsuit) for BCCY that I absolutely could NOT take the children across state line (from PA to NJ when I relocated to accept a promotion - a statement also made to other people involved in this case), nor was I allowed to return the kids to their mother, who lived in Berks Cty. I was told to bring the children to the courthouse and DROP THEM OFF at the front steps after calling their office! Are they INSANE? THE BOYS WERE NOT EVEN DEPENDENTS OF THE COUNTY AT THIS TIME! I was living in PERRY COUNTY then!

The man whom I rent from in NJ was undergoing a renewal for Top Secret CLEARANCE with the Dept. of DEFENSE! Any intrusion into his personal affairs would have postponed this clearance a year or more. Anyone with any knowledge of this procedure knows that a D.I.S.C.O. clearance check looks into every nook and craney, from ears to toes of anyone remotely in contact with the applicant's past and present life. I did not wish to jeapordize this man's job, not to mention my own record, by facing possible Kidnapping Charges. October 31, 2005 I gave the children back to my daughter until I could get situated and figure out what I needed to do to bring them to live with me. December 5, 2005 BCCY removed the children from their school and home (Andrew from his school on his Secret Santa Shopping day; Gabriel from his home - having been yanked out from under his bed screaming that he didn't want to be taken away. My daughter and her husband both stated that this woman who came into their home laughed during the forceable removal of the children. This woman also had told my daughter that "this event would not be psychologically upsetting" to the 5-year old that they yanked from underneath his bed, where he was hiding. My custody case was postponed and eventually cancelled as of December 23,2005 due to the fact that the state took over custody.

I immediately contacted BCCY the next day and asked why the children could not be with me. I was told that NOW that the children are dependents of the state that NOW I had to comply with their policies and "Present as a Resource". This means State background checks for Child Abuse, Criminal History and also an FBI clearance for everyone in the home - including my LANDLORD! (I rent the lower half of a duplex). To this date I STILL do not know how to get my FBI clearance check done and BCCY has refused to offer an answer other then to contact my local police. I went to the police in Birdsboro, PA and anslo in NJ. They had no idea what I was talking about. The officer in Birdsboro tried to tell me Children and Youth doesn't require FBI checks! My state checks, as well as those of the people I live with, were returned immediately - CLEAN! BCCY refuses to acknowledge my landlord's employers affirmation of his FBI clearance - they want copies! IT'S NOT AVAILABLE EVEN TO HIM! THIS IS CONSIDERED CLASSIFIED INFORMATION - but that is not acceptable to Berks County! I am being penalized for having friends that are TOO CLEAN!

I have tried to solilcit aid from two attorneys. Both have told me that BCCY is so corrupt it is ridiculous. One attorney said she doesn't even know why she is practing law anymore due to the corruption level. She stated that she couldn't in good conscience take my money. She advised me that NO ONE wins against CPS - they are basically "immune" from law suits. WHAT A COMFORT - at least she was honest - that's a rare one these days. The second attorney stated that employees of BCCY itself have called her anonymously with "stories of what goes on there". When I made the comment that I felt that BCCY was guilty of trafficing children she said "It's NOT THE FIRST TIME".

I sent emails to 49 Senators with no reply. I have contacted the Philadelphia Inquirer and the Associated Press with no real interest. I have sent emails to Larry King, Bill Mauer, and Oprah - a TOTAL WASTE of time I realize but thought I'd give it a go anwyay. I have contacted the State Board that oversees the activities of the separate Children and Youth Agencies. After several weeks of telephone conversations leading no where I was able to have a meeting scheduled with "all the key players" in Berks Cty. I attended the meeting only to find out it was cancelled that morning due to the recent flooding. Imagine. I was able to get from NJ to PA without any trouble yet the man representing the state couldn't make it there from Allentown? Did I mention that NO ONE BOTHERED TO INFORM ME THE MEETING WAS CANCELLED AFTER I WASTED ANOTHER VACATION DAY, TIME AND GAS? ALL PARTIES HAVE MY CELL PHONE NUMBER WHICH I HAD ON MY PERSON. Gee, thanks for the consideration fellas.

I have been denied any and all communication from these two children. I was told at Christmas time that the boys "Had everything they could possibly want and need" and that there was "no reason to send them presents" by the case worker at Coby's Children and Youth. The one and only phone call I got from them showed Gabriel had resorted to complete "Baby Talk".. and further reports indicated that both boys suffered from bed wetting and nightmares - TRAITS THAT NEITHER DISPLAYED AT ANY TIME IN THEIR LIFE PRIOR TO THIS HORROR. ALSO TRAITS EXHIBITED BY SEXUALLY ABUSED CHILDREN!!

I have only recently been given permission to Write to the boys - IN CARE OF BERKS COUNTY CHILDREN AND YOUTH so that the content can be monitored! BCCY claims that it never told me I couldn't write to them yet at my written request, no address was ever provided. NOW, six months later, after getting the State involved, I was sent a letter stating that I could write in care of BCCY. My proof that the children will ever see the letters will be ... WHAT? and who will be "monitoring" and what will be eradicated from my letter? The part that says I LOVE YOU?

Did I mention that children of ethnic backgrounds are listed in Coby's Family Care picture album as Children with SPECIAL NEEDS? HELLO? Let's list the black, spanish, asian children who maybe truly NEED homes as Children with SPECIAL NEEDS to lessen their chance for adoption. My grandsons were placed immediately - gee - they were white, VERY well mannered little boys. Instant placement!

WHERE CAN THE AVERAGE CITIZEN TURN FOR HELP? The FEDERAL government? Yeah okaaaaaay. They create laws they do not follow themselves. Is it any wonder the corruption is at such an escalated scale in the lower levels of office?

Why did my father fight in WWII to stop a crazed dictator from polluting the world, when his own blood legacy has been erased thru lies, propaganda and greed of the government he so proudly represented?
CAN ANYONE OFFER ADVICE?
