My daughter, mom, later filed the "proof" of CASA's lies which could have been used to bring our granddaughter home. And don't forget that CASA hired my prior divorce attorney to represent them. I have since filed a grievance against him. We objected to the representation, but he and the judge agreed that my name could be spelled different ways and allowed the order to continue instead of dismissing the hearing. My name was spelled correctly regarding the "issue" at hand and on 75% of the petitions. Who knew about this? I had personally called the state over and over to find out if "they" would appeal. No answer. <br /><br />No one will talk to me or allow visitation. The parents are very upset that their own attorneys would not file the appeal. The father's attorney told him, " The only way to get an extention approved would be under extraordinary circumstances. Would "forgetting to file" qualify? No. We had called them every week, sometimes daily, to file the appeal. I was told by the father's secretary that the appeal was in process. Not now. It's over. When will someone stop the corruption in this county? On the stand, CPS said they didn't know how I was given custody of my oldest granddaughter. CASA's attorney stating that I could have adopted her and did not, instead did a 3rd party custody. Well, that is what CPS wanted. I didn't know that at that time. I took a lot of blame that CPS should have taken. CPS gave me custody, ten years ago, and they forgot about that too? I have the paperwork. What is going on in this county? I have the disc and can prove it. We are victims in this county, plain and simple. Families are abused; post tramatic stress syndrome; the children are damaged with conditions such as "hording food," and other disorders that need not happen. Look at all of the homeless children in New York, and the orphans in Haiti. If they want children, take the ones who need homes and leave the good and decent famiies alone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6949272793553548917.post-72053815522327340022010-01-17T23:06:42.531-08:002010-01-17T23:06:42.531-08:00Actually, doing some homework might be appropriate...Actually, doing some homework might be appropriate. If the judge and the CASA are on committees together, this violates the judges oath of office.

Exactly what is the CASA argument that so swayed the judge?<br />Jan SmithAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
