As I sit and review Tim Evans’ article several things jump out at me.  The article is well researched and well written and shines a bright spot light on the illusions perpetuated by our deluded Governor and the bombastic Judge.

The lack of a clear mandate for the Ombudsman is an attempt to provide cover to both Daniels and Payne. This is nothing new. Remember four years ago he created an Inspector General who is suppose to ferret out fraud and waste in State Government who reports directly to him. While the Inspector was able to create colorful reports about Government, North’s wastefully leaving their lights on at night complete with digital photos, they failed to see the ethics violation when Mitch rolled the “My Man Mitchmoble” to a political fundraiser. The Mitchmoble was donated to the state and was state property.

So, when Daniels says he will not interfere with Hoppe’s office by asking her to look into specific cases it comes as little surprise.

I find it laughable for him to reference moral. Morale has never been lower at DCS. Also, our “award winning agency” never had 15 fatalities occurring during CPS involvement during the previous Administration.

Payne is now the Czar of all CPS. He has complete control over money that he can use to silence opposition, a weak ombudsman for oversight, and a deluded Governor.

Susan Hoppe, the new child services ombudsman, is starting her job today.  Does anyone have Hoppe’s phone number?

 The new ombudsman has a tiny budget and no staff.  Does anyone have Hoppe’s address?  Does she have an “open door policy” like Mitch Daniels?  Is she in the Governor’s office?

 Hoppe says concerns of bias are a nonissue regardless of her past ties to DCS and James Payne.  Is Hoppe in Payne’s closet?

Dawn Robertson, spokesperson for Honkforkids said, “We were hoping the ombudsman would be an avenue where families could have someone pursue their complaints.”  But, where’s Hoppe?

Is she on top of the flagpole?

Is she under the Colt’s Stadium?

 Is she in the third floor men’s room?  Let us know where you think Susan Hoppe is so we can check it out.

Who, besides the killer, could have prevented it?

Jeremiah’s mother, Deneen Williams, only wanted this child because a DCS caseworker told her he had to live with her or she would lose her welfare benefits.  She would also be charged with fraud for the funds she had already received.  If she had given up the money, Jeremiah would be alive today.

There is solid scholarly evidence for the comments made by “guest” and Mr. Lahrman. Child Advocates, Marion County’s Court-Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) program is one more thumb tilting the scales of justice against families. The most comprehensive study ever done of CASA found that its only real accomplishments are to prolong foster care and reduce the chances that children will be placed with relatives instead of strangers – with no improvement in child safety The study also found CASAs put a lot less time into a case if the child they’re working with is African American.
