From Another Reader:
"The problem with the CASA involvement is the secretive back room discussions about the family that is really holding court without due process. The CASA assigned to our family had very little involvement except to "catch up" on what all the other CPS stakeholders had to say. She would just parrot what she heard everyone else discussing and that's all she could do because there were no personal observations from which to draw upon yet the judge would stop and specifically ask for CASA recommendations.
Within each group there is usually a personality that leads everyone down a certain path in values and decision making. I did an exercise with groups for many years that dealt with these value differences in a court setting.
I would have a class of about 20 people and would subdivide them up into groups of four. I would then give them a role to play and crimes to discuss. One would be a probation officer and another a chemical dependency counselor. There was also a prosecutor and a defense attorney. I would put on the board all the different services and outcomes that could be decided upon with each case. Well, guess what, with five different groups each deciding the same case, there would be five different outcomes.
Afterwards there would be a discussion about the group dynamics and who emerged the leader and how they contributed their personal values to the overall outcome on the different cases. One strong, yet twisted personality can bring in a negativity that can create a significant amount of chaos for large amounts of people. This produces a ripple effect and needs to be addressed within the family courts. It is the main reason I feel that team decision making is BAD along with all the backroom discussion with the judge that shouldn't be done.
I can't even fathom how many families in our country have been needlessly destroyed because of toxic family team decision making."
Thank you for your submission.

Team decisions are made as well for persons who are incapacitated and have trust funds. When the money is gone from their overspending, the team dismantles.
Dear family, we are unable to continue to care for _____ you will have to take over decisions for care.
WOW I CAN RELATE..OUR CASA SAID OUR GRANDSON BELONGED WITH AND SHOULD STAY WITH US..I SAW THE CASEWORKER TALKING TO HER...CASA THEN COULDN'T LOOK AT ME AFTER THAT DISCUSSION...NO WONDER...SHE SIDED WITH THE CASEWORKER...WE LOST OUR GRANDSON BECAUSE OF SO MANY LIES..I DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE SYSTEM ANY MORE...NOR A PARTICULAR JUDGE...BE AWARE THEY ONLY WANT THESE KIDS...BE VERY AWARE.....CONCERNED GRANDMA
WHILE WAITING OUTSIDE THE COURT ROOM I HEARD A CASEWORKER TELL THE CASA TO JUST FOLLOW HER..SHE TOLD HER TO DEFEND HER THE CASEWORKER NOT THE PARENTS...WOW HOW ODD THAT IS FOR A CASA TO NOT HAVE TO SPEAK HER OWN MIND...HUH??? WELL I AM SURE IF THEY KNEW IT WAS ME THEY WOULD HAVE USED THE LITTLE SECRET ROOM TO DISCUSS CASES...ON ANOTHER OCCASION I HEARD A CASEWORKER TELL A DOCTOR TO READ HER REPORT AND AGREE WITH HER...DO YOU SUPPOSE THIS IS HOW DRS ARE CHOSEN BY DSHS???? HUMMMMM ANOTHER LIE...WHAT'S WRONG WITH TELLING THE TRUTH...DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS...CONCERNED GRANDMA
Happens all the time. I was doing drug and alcohol assessments for guardian ad litems. One of them wanted me to embellish on two parent's use and I refused, so she never sent business our way again.
That is how it is done. Back rooms, bargaining, embellishments, etc. etc.
I am supposed to do a mental health evaluation. I was referred to a certain psychologist. As it turns out, this psychologist gives money to the judge I am going before for her campaign. I could see a real conflict of interest here.
They have created a system where it is almost impossible to get a fair hearing. One must get their side of the story in the file then appeal to a higher court. The higher courts go more by the book and while they still have politics going on, have no problem overturning cases if they see fit. Just look at the lower court as a vile step one must go through in order to achieve justice in a higher court. Kind of like wading through cow manure to go milk the cow.

read this....it's everywhere!
It just goes to show ya that my assessment has always been correct. People will do anything for money. These state paid WH$$$s will do anything to keep their sugar daddy happy..(that would be DSHS)as in keeping the money rolling into their coffers. They are exposed and they know it. They will take the offensive naturally. How did we as human beings become so evil? Just remember the proof is in their own documents.
I agree with all of the comments made. I have been to court many times and the readers are right. Before you can go into court you will see the AAG, CASA and caseworkers meeting in a little room behind the judges chambers. They are laughing and having a wonderful time. Then they file in separately and kill you and your family with lies. Its absolutely how it happens.
In our case, we intercepted e-mails between the casa, social worker, and the therapist colaborating their stories so when they went into court their stories would match. There should be NO communication between them while perpairing their statements for court, like jurors don't have outside influence while making a verdict in a trial.
