The Foster Care System is Imploding

The longtime director of the Foster Care Review Board was ousted today by her board of directors, who voted unanimously to terminate her after 29 sometimes tumultuous years at the helm.

It was unclear exactly why the board terminated Carol Stitt – who was hailed by both the board and her supporters as one of the fiercest advocates for foster kids in Nebraska.

“There’s been some internal management problems we needed to address,” said board chairwoman Georgina Scurfield, a Sarpy County social worker. “This is an ongoing issue between Ms. Stitt and the board.”

Former Lancaster County Attorney Gary Lacey was at the board meeting, and said the board doesn’t like the way Stitt is brutally honest about the failings of the state’s child welfare system.

“I think the governor appointed people who would get rid of the bearer of bad tidings and that was Carol Stitt,” Lacey said. “You don’t appoint the fox to guard the henhouse.”

Joellen McGinn was on the state Foster Care Review Board until a few years ago when she applied to be reappointed but was declined. She still serves on two local foster care boards, and believes the state board’s makeup was changed to hinder Stitt in pointing out problems at HHS.

“I just cannot imagine why they don’t want to know what’s happening with these children,” McGinn said

Gov. Dave Heineman was asked what he thought of the board’s decision during a press conference today, and he said, “I don’t know all the details yet so it’d be premature for me to comment.”

As for the allegation that he stacked the board with appointees who are not friendly to Stitt, he said once he appoints someone to a board they are independent.

“I haven’t talked to a member of that board in I don’t know how long,” he said. “I expect them to exercise their best judgment.”

Imperial Sen. Mark Christensen attended the board meeting and was furious at the board’s actions and accused the board of punishing Stitt for exposing corruption. He said the Legislature needs to take serious action such as making the board answer only to lawmakers.

__________________________________________________

For those who may not be familiar with Carol Stitt, she was the director of Nebraska’s Foster Care Review Board at the time of the Franklin Scandal.

She is featured in the “Conspiracy of Silence” video and is on film saying she was threatened during the time of the investigation. Within the documentary she states the following:

In recent months, I have been contacted by many survivors who have asked what they can do to get their stories looked at.  One letter in particular, a mother and grandmother is desperately seeking out help and information as to how to reclaim her family from a cult, as every other avenue has failed her.  Ignored, ridiculed and dismissed, she asked if I knew of any other way she could try to help her family.  Unfortunately, I had no advice to offer her, because even in my position, the police would rather assume that I am crazy rather than telling the truth.  It is like they say, the more things change, the more they stay the same.  Such is the case with America’s problem with child trafficking and ritual abuse.

All hope is not lost however, as there are things that we can do to overcome the effects of such dismissal.  Although we may not be able to influence and control other people, we DO have the ability to effectively cause change within ourselves.  In my travels, I have learned that the only thing that I am able to control is me.  It has taken even longer for me to come to terms with the fact that it is enough, and that change within me influences the world around me.  As they say, real change comes from within.

Being dismissed and disregarded even after I have made videos, created a blog, and wrote a book detailing my concerns with abuse here in Omaha is incredibly frustrating, and has a tendency to make me angry at times.  Unable to make others see what happened, I feel as if I am continually beating my head against a brick wall trying to get others to grasp and accept what has happened to so many of us.  The loudest and most active survivor in Omaha, it is hard for me to see whether or not  I have accomplished anything in the years that I have crusaded against this at times, and I wonder if I am just repeating old behaviors of trying to fix what cannot be fixed.  It is hard not to lose hope in all of this.

But God works in mysterious ways and what I have come to understand is that perhaps all of this is not about everyone else, but rather, about me.  The only thing constant is change, and the only thing I can control is myself- but grasping the concept that this is okay- that it is ENOUGH, is harder than one would think.  Whether I succeed in getting an investigation, or reach a point where I am able to ask forgiveness for the families that my family hurt, is not as important as the lessons I have discovered about myself in the process of my journey.  Had I not gone through what I have, I may never have understood the depths of strength and compassion that dwell within me.  Had I not experienced the pain, I may never have realized the love that overflows within me.  Perhaps, and I am just guessing here, but maybe life is not about the destination of our goals but instead is more about the process that we go through in our achievements and failures.  It has been through this process that I have discovered a side of myself that I never knew existed, and regardless of whatever happens or doesn’t happen, it is impossible to deny this aspect of my life and I consider it a huge blessing.

It is probably survivor guilt that compels me to reach out and try to help other survivors, and lately I have begun to understand that there is really little I can do.  Just like the mother who was scared for her family- I have no answers as to how she can fix her situation, or who she can go to for help.  The police, in my personal opinion,  are worthless- barely able to think without being told by their directors as how to do their job, and their superiors  are heavily politically motivated by money and position- and so the chances of any of those worker ants rocking the boat is basically nil.  The authorities support the status quo- and getting them to do anything is impossible, either because they are lazy, politically motivated, or inept.  My experience is that going to local authorities is worthless, which is unfortunate because they are the VERY ONES who could bring change to this situation, but perhaps  it is crazy to ask the establishment to fix itself, and the police are nothing more than well paid grunts of the system, at least here in Omaha anyway.

The media will never help as it is more a distraction than a news source, and again- they are a heavy part of the establishment.  Our national propaganda machine- the media has an attention span shorter than a child with ADD, and is not interested in doing anything other than keeping its ratings and making a buck.  Controlled by the very same people who own everything else, the media is more foe than friend, and as such, can’t really be trusted to any real degree.  No survivor that I have seen has ever been helped by the media- so those of you who are considering this as a viable source of healing, you should probably rethink it.

So what is the answer?  I have begun to fall back on my old friend’s adage of “know yourself, control yourself, and give freely of your time and energy”.  The key to our healing is realizing that we are enough, and that God and the entire Universe only wish to show us that in abundance.  We are not alone in any of this, and whether anyone else understands or comprehends what happened too many of us makes little difference when compared to the fact that WE know.  I don’t need anyone else to validate my past because I KNOW what happened.  I don’t need anyone else to agree with me, because they weren’t there and they are only expounding upon convictions based on ignorant opinions that are formed to help make them feel safe so they can sleep better at night.  I guess that is why speaking my truth has become so important, which is the only solution that I have come to accept.  That I am enough, that I am aware, and that I cannot only speak my truth, but have a responsibility to do so to help try and educate those who are still asleep.

None of us can do this alone however.  With all my efforts, I have still gotten nowhere, and I have grown to understand that it is going to take ALL OF US SPEAKING OUR TRUTH to make any significant changes in the system.  Together, we can collectively bring forth our lightbearer souls in such a way that Heaven will flow through us and change the scope of the issues.  Bringing our voices together as one- we will no longer be denied in the way that each of us as individuals have experienced.  Society might be able to dismiss us as individuals, but we as a group will not be so easily disregarded.  Effectively initiating change in the world around us, it is my absolute belief that each of us will find what we have been searching for in our own individual lives in the process.  It is together that we will find our salvation, intimately and in the lives of others, and is the only viable option to effectively initiate any change for the future.

So, consider attending one of the national conventions bringing survivors together, either at the one in Davis CA in April, the Survivorship conference in Oakland California, or the SMART conference in Hartford CT in August.  Together, we not only can make a difference- we WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE, not only in our individual lives, but in the lives of future generations.

I am publishing this because, funny enough- when I was in San Francisco last year, we watched a huge rally of people chanting “Hey Hey APA, How Many Children Have You Killed Today”.  Considering that 1 out of every 10 Americans is on anti-depressants, it definitely shows that their could be a problem somewhere.  I do not know much about this subject to be quite honest, however, there is a strong movement against it so I think it is worth mentioning, if not investigating.

The REAL front line in the War on Terror is wherever Agenda 21 is being crammed down our throats, to steal our property and other freedoms.

In the State of Tennessee, at least one brave servant of God – Rep. Kevin Brooks – has introduced a bill for his good state to fight back!

Agenda 21 is an insidious onslaught by the “wolves in sheep’s clothing” global bankers to sneak in through the back door and steal our personal property, our freedom to travel, and even our right to own vehicles.

HJR0587 is a HUGE step in the right direction!

Please take this bill to your own state legislators, to educate them, and show our support to pass one in your state.

Agenda 21 is nothing less than United Nations World Government overthrow of America – and the entire world – dreamed of for over a century, by the same group of bankers who met in Jekyll Island, Georgia, in 1910, and founded the private Federal Reserve in 1913. We must stop it while we still can!

Thank you for being a soldier on the front line!

I left this on facebook this morning….

The fact that so many law officials dismissed that poor kid getting shot down in Florida because of his color pisses me off so bad that I am in a bad mood today. It is amazing how many people justify not getting involved because it doesn’t directly concern them. That dumbass running around with a gun shooting unarmed people needs some consequences- but no body cares about murdered kids anymore. The kid was poor- and the shooter had money- it has NOTHING to do with race. And the guy is Hispanic, not white- but why this even matters is a question. A dead kid with nobody facing any consequences- that is what Florida is known for. I mean- look at Caylee Anthony. I suggest a boycott of Florida- with everyone running around with guns able to kill anyone they find irritating- who the hell wants to go to a place like that?

I think that I am emotionally connected to this because it is so similar to what I am going through in Omaha NE.  Law officials don’t like to do any more work than they have too- which is probably why we have so many dead kids on the books with no one responsible for the murders.  Law officials in Nebraska are no better than those down in Florida- which is why there are groups calling for a federal investigation regarding Omaha’s finest job performance.  However- law enforcement’s lack of job performance is not just a Florida problem- as Nebraska has just as many dead kids on its books without anybody being responsible.  I just wanted to point this out.

Bob Kerrey was INSTRUMENTAL in helping cover up the events of Franklin Credit Union and all the child trafficking that was happening here in Nebraska in the late 80s early 90s, so my question is- why is Nebraska willing to let a carpetbagger back into office= esp. when all of this about Franklin is being re looked into.

Of course- now you can have sex with the victims and with the new legislation that is being presented- THEY will be the ones to face the harsh consequences instead of those who are making the victims pander in the first place.  Attempting to look like they care and are trying to do something- Nebraska legislature is just offering its citizens more of the same.

In attacking the victims of pandering- they effectively make it so that they have NO VOICE- just like they have ALWAYS done.  All of the 1000s of child abuse reports that poured in before Franklin went down were just discarded and ignored- and now Nebraska is trying to pass a law that makes this acceptable as the norm.

If we reelect Bob Kerrey- we are DEFINITELY asking for more of the same.  History always repeats itself, and I assure everyone out there- there is a STRONG PUSH TO KEEP ALL OF THIS QUIET.  Kerrey running for office at this PARTICULAR TIME shows that this is more true than ever.

http://www.ketv.com/news/30730750/detail.html

Of course- what the measure calls for is to nail the victims who are forced to pander.  The VERY people who are being trafficked.  Even when Nebraska tries to do something about this- they fail.  MUCH MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE THAN PASS A DAMN LAW.  Maybe the task force would like to hear how prevalent this problem really has been in Nebraska’s history.

Oh- that’s right.  The local officials aren’t all that interested.  Of course- in my opinion this isn’t exactly true.  What they are not interested in is the TRUTH coming out.  And now they are trying to pass laws that nail the victims.  Sad Sad Sad.

Here is a great resource regarding human trafficking…  sent to me via email….
