How Not To Hide A Secret Love Child - Baby LK Report For May 29th 2011

Baby LK recaps the week in news for the child protection industry.

SCOTUS Continues To Strips Whistleblowers of Whistles

The relator approaches the court, on behalf of the United States, on a mission, fearful of those horrible tales of loosing every chance of hope of being made whole again.  Out of the darkness of the legal forest, lurking, are the public disclosure bars of "persons, administrative, reports". Oh my.

At any time, the Court will crush you using one of these "interpretive buttresses" snatched off the Magna Carta, to beat you down and make you and your children go back to the fields and pick tomatoes and lettuce.  (Well, that is the goal once all the anchor babies are cleaned out of the country to give these great jobs to hard working, cheaper laboring American children.)

First the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) says, "Even though all the other laws say a State is a person, we don't think so when it comes to States allowing federal programs to be ripped off under the False Claims Act because it would be too embarrassing for the us because we allowed the States to do whatever they wanted when we give them money, and besides, the States never had to be held to fraud standards before in federal contracts and the Congress was never clear in its intent for the States to be considered as 'persons'."

How dare some average person dare think they have the entitlement right to challenge us!  We are the great Supreme Court of the United States!  Poor people have no rights and definitely no right to sue and get rich.

SCOTUS False Claims Act Opinion of Justice Scalia

There was a lone dissent which believed States were intended by the Congress to be considered as "persons".

Then came another shaving of the qui tam when SCOTUS decided anything "administrative" fell under the "public disclosure bar" meaning any state or federal report, hearing, audit, or anything else as such are not allowed to be used by an original source.
Supreme Court of the United States GRAHAM COUNTY SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT et al., Petitioners...

But wait, SCOTUS, as well as those whose corporations make substantial killings, literally, bilking Medicaid in child welfare, decided that anything requested through a Freedom of Information of Act request falls under the "public disclosure bar".

Let's pretend this actually happened:

I walk into the residential institution where my child incarcerated after being ripped from his bed in the middle of the night for no reason beyond child protective services and the police going to the wrong address, is being tortured and, with a fake smile I politely ask for his IEP.  They hand it to me and it states he is considered "ineligible" for special needs, institutionalization and does not need medication, yet he is locked up in solitary confinement, beaten, raped, tortured, drugged suffering multiple heart attacks, tardive dyskensia, attempted suicides, surviving from meals of dried bread and potatoes with no heat in the winter or air conditioning in the summer, with different dates of birth on the court reports submitted to the court because my child was under aged for the facility.

Then, I go the office of the clerk of the court and pull his child protective services case and find out they fabricated a story of a car crash that never took place and had a duplicate fake case as a juvenile delinquent and were not just double billing, but billing me as a juvenile delinquent, also.

So I go and file a FCA and the court says: "So sorry, those are public docs and therefore, the States can do whatever the fuck they want to do and there is nothing that will ever be done because we only cater to the rich."

Let's keep pretending this did not happen, either.
Supreme Court of the United States SCHINDLER ELEVATOR CORPORATION, Petitioner, v. UNITED STATES ex rel. Dan...

"Qui tam pro domino rege quam pro se ipso in hac parte sequitur!"

Being a whistleblower and reporting fraud is a right of free speech.  Verifying it through FOIA requests makes an original source the subject matter expert.  I dare anyone to challenge, publicly of course, my expertise in child welfare fraud, even SCOTUS.

Conyers Stops Child Abuse

A Special Announcement to Bill Johnson and Maura Corrigan:

Wanna See A Michigan Policy Lie To Cover Up Medicaid Fraud?

Wanna See A Michigan Policy Lie To Cover Up Medicaid Fraud?


Here, I present to the public, Michigan's blatant lie on how it conducts business in child welfare.

Yes, it is true to say that this is proper information presented on the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children.

Yes, it is true to say that there are no lies presented on the names and titles of administration.

Yes, it is true to say the final decision maker on the ICPC is not the compact administrator.  It's  Mr. Omnipotent. Bill Johnson, the Superintendent of Michigan Children's Institute!

Conyers To Hear Adam Walsh Central Registry Reauthorization

On February 15, 2011, in the U.S. House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security, hearing will be held to address the Reauthorization of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act in the 112th Congress, led by the second ranking member, John Conyers, Jr.


The timing is impeccable to address the issue of lack of due process in the placement and clearance of individual names from the Central Registry.


NEW YORK, NY, February 14, 2011 /EIN Presswire/ -- An important class action settlement was announced today that will help thousands of New Yorkers to return to work quicker. The settlement was reached with the Office of Children and Family Services ("OCFS") which operates the New York Statewide Abuse and Maltreatment Register. Before a person can work with children, the state law requires that employers must first obtain a clearance from the Register. Without a clearance, people can not work. The Register maintains a list of people who have been accused of maltreatment of children. Those who have been listed are entitled to a hearing to clear their names. However, sometimes hearings take more than a year to complete. While waiting for the hearings, people can not get jobs. When the hearings are finally held, up to 50 - 75% of the people are exonerated.

Maura Corrigan: Michigan's Cash Cow

Ricky Holland

Bill Johnson, Superintendent of Michigan Children's Institute authorized the adoption of Ricky Holland's two younger siblings to the murders during the murder investigation.

Ricky Holland was placed in foster care by his mother because there was no help for her. He was never removed for abuse and neglect.

Now, every time the Ricky's mother has another child to replace the one who was murdered by the State of Michigan, the State of Michigan comes and cuts the umbilical cord.

I used to have in my possession some of the case transcripts where the foster murderer was testifying on the scheme to dope up Ricky Holland with the highest dosages of psychotropics in order to get more money.

There are many reasons why this case is so dear to me, why I swore I would never let Ricky Holland's memory fade away, but I will only share one.

Michigan's Cash Cow

Maura Corrigan

Michigan's Cash Cow had the audacity to run a statewide commercial paid with undisclosed funds in to the tune of $80,000 asking the people of Michigan to call the Supreme Court and thank her for "all she has done for foster care and adoption" in order for her colleagues to elect her as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.  She was not elected.

It was at that moment I began my mission...

Maura Corrigan Is A Brilliant And Refined Liar

Maura Corrigan Is A Brilliant And Refined Liar


This is my comment on the recent audit of Michigan's federal child welfare services Title IV-E reviews.  I thought it best to post it here just in case the moderator takes it down.

Corrigan proud of false claims

The judicial branch has not supported DHS in the appeal, it actually participated in filing of federal false claims and has been doing so for years. The attorney general contemporaneously advise and advocates in theserevenue-maximization fraud schemes.

The Medicaid Fraud Control Unit in the Office of Attorney General does absolutely nothing except expend great amounts of defending its pattern of covering up Medicaid and other forms of health care fraud and antitrust representing the Superintendent of Michigan Children’s Institute, Bill Johnson,who represents the State of Michigan without appointment or election, with no oath of office on file with the Secretary of State, and possesses the power to overrule a decision of another state by denying ICPC interstate adoptions.

It is quite difficult for the Attorney General to prosecute itself for filing false claims.

The following string of excerpts from federal and Michigan audits and evaluations is a working example of Medicaid Fraud in Child Welfare:

“Michigan staff, both at the Central Office and county level, did an excellent job of preparing for the review. Records were extremely well organized with necessary documentation of eligibility requirement readily located. The State provided a “reviewer friendly” environment for the review to take place. Of note was the willingness and untiring efforts made by the Program Office in leading this effort. DHS licensing and field staff, in partnership with personnel from the SCAO and the Wayne County Department of Children and Family Services, were most efficient in obtaining additional information or acting as resources during the onsite review. Additionally, DHS’ fiscal unit is recognized for the thorough and updated payment histories.

Michigan staff actively and enthusiastically participated in reviewing the cases.
(That’s because they successfully covered up the Medicaid Fraud.)

Exemplary is the collaborative relationship between DHS and the State Court. This was evident not only in the presence of either the current or former Chief Justices of the Supreme Court at the entrance or exit conference, but also in the excellent quality of court orders observed during the review. In particular, the involvement of SCAO is noted for conveying title IV-E requirements to the court, instituting revisions to court orders and garnering greater consistency in the use of those revisions among the county courts. The ongoing collaboration between DHS and SCAO is a strong mechanism to foster an understanding of the need for and timely occurrence of appropriate and meaningful judicial determinations for children within both the child welfare and legal communities.”

“The state averted the loss of nearly $40 million in child welfare funding, thanks in part to the work of judicial branch staff.”

Clifford W. Taylor, Michigan Supreme Court Chief Justice, Annual Report 2007

“If DHS did not improve, it faced a possible penalty of $22 million”…. “The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services conducted the second eligibility review of DHS’s case files for foster care maintenance payments issued between April 1, 2006 and September 30, 2006. Prior to the review, DHS conducted an extensive case file review to identify cases that did not meet Foster care: Title IV-E Program eligibility requirements. For cases that DHS determined did not meet the Foster Care: Title IV-E Program eligibility requirements, DHS changed the funding source on the cases to a funding source other than Foster Care: Title IV-E Program before April 1, 2006… As a result, those cases were not in the population reviewed during the federal review…The federal review concluded that DHS was in substantial compliance with federal eligibility requirements for the period April 1, 2006 through September 30, 2006.

We issued a qualified opinion on the Foster Care: Title IV-E Program. Our conclusion is different from the federal review because our sample included cases from the entire audit period.

Michigan Auditor General, 2007

During the (Michigan) onsite review, (federal) reviewers determined that criminal background checks were in evidence for all foster home files that were examined. In instances where children were placed in child caring institutions, reviewers determined that law enforcement checks had been done on administrators. Particularly noteworthy is Michigan’s practice of screening all licensed foster homes against its child abuse register on a weekly basis.

DHS had not developed a formal policy that defined when and for what service types criminal background checks and educational qualifications should be required as a part of a human service contract (includes foster care).

Health care fraud is health care fraud. Pettibone got punked by Corrigan, the same way Madoff pulled the wool over the eyes of the FCC for decades, but you have to give Maura credit, when it comes to cover ups of federal false claims and racketeering in the child welfare system, the gal is damn good.

DHS prevails in federal audit appeal

News about former Justice Maura Corrigan, getting busy in her new role as Department of Human Services director:

Michigan Department of Human Services Director Maura Corrigan today announced that the DHS prevailed in a federal appeal and, as a result, passed a 2010 audit of its performance of the
federal IV-E program in Michigan. Title IV-E of the federal Social Security Act covers federal
funding for Michigan’s foster care and adoption assistance programs.
In June 2010, the DHS underwent a federal review of the state’s program operation. The
weeklong review of 80 foster care cases determined whether DHS had correctly determined
eligibility for children under its care and custody. The state was allowed to have a 5 percent error
rate, or four cases.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Children and Families
notified Michigan last August that the state did not pass the review because it identified six error
cases. Two of the error cases resulted in a total disallowance of $67,264 in federal funds.
The Michigan attorney general, on behalf of DHS, appealed this finding to the federal Department
Appeals Board in November 2010. The federal board issued a decision Jan. 14 finding for the
DHS. It reversed the disallowance and ruled Michigan is operating the Title IV-E program in
accordance with federal regulations.
“The Department of the Attorney General provided DHS with excellent legal representation in our
appeal of the federal review findings,” Corrigan said. “Moreover, the entire team for DHS and the
State Court Administrators Office deserves our praise for their fine work in conducting the
preparation for the review.”
The federal IV-E program provided about $224.2 million in funds for the Michigan foster care and
adoption programs during fiscal year 2009, the most recent year for which records are available.
Because of the decision, Michigan will not be required to conduct a subsequent federal onsite
review until 2013. The 2010 review was Michigan’s third of the IV-E program since 2004.
Chief Justice Robert P. Young, Jr. of the Michigan Supreme Court commended both Corrigan
and the attorney general for their advocacy on behalf of Michigan’s children and on the proper
operation of the Title IV-E federal program.
“Former Justice Corrigan made the commitment to DHS several years ago that she would work to
assure courts operated in compliance with federal Title IV-E program regulations,” said Young.
“Her tireless commitment and advocacy resulted in outstanding news for Michigan with this
review. The Supreme Court will continue to work with former Justice Corrigan in her new role as
DHS director to continue the same high level of collaboration.”
Young also praised SCAO’s Child Welfare Services Division for its work on the audit and appeal:
“In particular, we should acknowledge CWS Management Analyst Jenifer Pettibone, who played
a leading role on this successful appeal,” Young said. “Pettibone’s work is a fine example of how
the judicial branch has supported DHS, not only in this appeal process, but also in child welfare
work in general.”
