Reader Gets It Wrong. DSHS Did NOTHING To Reunite Stuth Family

"You would think at some point, the Governor would give a crap.
When, other than the Stuth grandchild, has there been a decent story about DSHS? {This was not a decent story about DSHS. PR} This sick cycle needs to end and children need to be peoples first thought, not an after thought."

"When, other than the Stuth grandchild, has there been a decent story about DSHS? I do not want any of my readers to get the wrong impression. After the judge granted third party custody to the Stuths...after KING5 covered the outcome of the judge's decision...then there was some decent treatment.

But, PLEASE. Get this straight. THE DEPARTMENT DID NOT DO ONE THING TO HELP CORRECT ANY OF THE WRONGS DONE TO THE STUTHS, THEIR GRANDDAUGHTER, OR TO EXTENDED FAMILY THAT WAS PURPOSEFULLY LEFT OUT OF ANY PLACEMENT CONSIDERATION. The state listened to no one. After one 2 1/2 hour meeting a key AG said, "That was a waste of time." (under his breath of course).

Remember Dear Reader...look at what the department does, not what it says. Even after little Alexis (I called her Lisa in the blog) and a one-year-old boy were removed from the foster woman "for cause" on the penultimate day of the termination and placement hearing...the department and the AG continued to argue for termination and placement with the foster woman! (This woman showed up at a hospital in a self-induced stupor and had the baby with her. Fortunately, there were too many mandatory reporters for CPS to shrug off this one!)

The day following the removal was the last day in court. The judge would make his decision. In fact, after the mother's attorney accidentally found out about the removal (the state kept the information from the mother, her attorney, the Stuths and the judge) ...even after Alexis was placed in emergency foster care...the state still argued for placement with the foster woman. They were arguing for Alexis (age 3) to be permanently placed in a dangerous situation! (I had been telling the state it was dangerous for months! I later learned that they knew the foster woman was a problem. The state removed a different child years earlier!)

The state, knowing that Alexis and the baby boy had been removed the night before...argued to the judge when the mother's attorney wanted to inform the court about the removal that it should not be allowed! Judge Ronald Kessler allowed the additional information be entered. He was livid that he had not been told! The state argued then, that the information about the emergency removal was not important to the placement trial!!!! This folks is worse than sick!

To reinforce the fact: The state argued to the judge that he should not be able to hear the information about the dangerous foster woman for whom they were arguing placement. The state did not want the judge to know! The state wanted this toddler in a dangerous home! The state knew about this woman because I told them...ALL of them!!! I was the one who reported the black eye to the police...etc., etc., for many months. The state said the judge should not allow an additional statement from the mother's attorney saying the information had no bearing on the termination and PLACEMENT! Dear Readers....CPS did nothing to help the Stuths and worked against them having their granddaughter up until the very last second. Cyborgs do not give up.
