BUSTED: Child Welfare Caught Stealing Social
Security Checks From Disabled and Orphaned
Foster Kids

Original Article

Posted By: ladydawgfan, 5/27/2021 12:26:02 AM

NPR has done an in-depth investigative series exposing a child-welfare money-making scheme that targets children receiving Social Security benefits for the enrichment of social services. This is a pattern that I’ve seen repeat during my years investigating CPS/DSS and other child-welfare offices around the country. NPR reported: The Marshall Project and NPR have found that in at least 36 states and Washington, D.C., state foster care agencies comb through their case files to find kids entitled to these benefits, then apply to Social Security to become each child’s financial representative, a process permitted by federal regulations.

It's normal for agencies that care for people to apply for whatever benefits those people are entitled to in order to defray costs. From what I can tell that's all that's going on here. If the agency is the legal guardian of the children or has permission from the guardians then there's no crime.

The depth of depravity we are witnessing be exposed today is quite shocking. Stealing the benefits of foster children who need it is appalling. Meanwhile the world continues to embrace evil on a massive scale. If it is not abortion, it is the theft of funds for disabled children, not to mention the whole panoply of possible crimes that are committed at these illegal alien centers and programs. This is what happens when good men and women do nothing in the face of ongoing evil. All this corruption and very few, if any, whistleblowers. That tells you everything you need to know.

According to the article, the U.S. State Department stated that, “In the United States, traffickers prey upon children in the foster care system." It's infuriating that the people who are supposed to be protecting these children are abusing them. It begs the question, then why isn't the FBI or justice department doing anything about it? Do they cover up child sex trafficking? Are some of these agencies involved? Maybe. Nancy Smith Schaefer was a conservative legislator who served in the Georgia State Senate. In 2007 she published a report entitled "The Corrupt Business of Child Protective Services." It appears she and her husband were subsequently taken out by the deep state with a "murder/suicide." Child sex trafficking is rampant among the deep state cabal, and the story is starting to come out. This will not end well for them.

Fta: Currently, kids who age out of foster care are being told that the money the state had provided for them was spent and they are left with nothing. Many of the children become homeless or victims of sex trafficking after being released from foster care. -- And some thought all that Oliver Twist or A Christmas Carol evil had been cleansed by big benevolent government. The people that do this stuff to innocent helpless children should be shot like vermin!

have to take issue with #2. it may be normal but it is presumably inconsistent with the primary purpose fo the benefits: to help children and not a sluch fund to cover operating expenses. it may b normal but the kids are getting screed.

The alternative is to give underage children hundreds of dollars every month which is a recipe for disaster - they're too immature to save it, and it is likely to be taken from them by their foster parents. Putting it in an escrow account and giving it to them at 18 is almost as bad - very few 18-year olds are responsible if given thousands of dollars all at once. There's no good answer to this problem. I frankly don't see a problem with using it to defray the cost of their foster care.

We were foster-adopt parents of a meth baby that was born drug addicted in northern California where meth lab abound. In fact, at one time, 50% of the babies born in our area were born drug addicted to meth. Depending on what time of the pregnancy the drugs were taken, the baby's brain is forever affected: learning disability, societal, bi-polar and other behavioral disorders. If the monies collected go to help these babies with their disabilities, we have no problem. Drug babies are a big financial drain on society in so many ways, medically, mentally, and educationally!!!! This story makes it sound simple, but this situation is complicated all around.

An illegal alien has been found guilty of murdering 20-year-old University of Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts by a jury on Friday. Cristhian Bahena Rivera, an illegal alien from Mexico, was arrested in August 2018 — about a month after Tibbetts first went missing on the evening of July 18, 2018, in Brooklyn, Iowa — and charged with first-degree murder. Bahena Rivera led investigators to Tibbetts’ body and he said he spotted her jogging, ran up to her, and became angry because she threatened to call the police. Rivera said he then blacked out and took her body from his car trunk and placed her in a cornfield, placing corn stalks over her.

“Get a shot, win the lottery!” That’s what state leaders across the country are proclaiming.

New York State is offering free lottery tickets to those who agree to get the shot. The top prize is $5 million. Not to be outdone, Ohio governor Mike DeWine announced the launch of a $1 million lottery for residents of the state who get the shot. There will be five “Ohio Vax-a-Million” drawings in the state.

Days ago, I was honored to spend time with President Trump for an exclusive one-on-one interview on my nationally- syndicated radio show, “Wayne Allyn Root: Raw & Unfiltered” on USA Radio Network. Before I get to the most important game-changer to come out of that interview, I’d like to get one thing out of the way. Just having this interview proves how wrong Democrats, liberals and assorted Marxist fools are about America. Most Democrats today are America-haters and national anthem kneelers. They find only fault with America. They see our history as negative. They see our country as “racist.”

Once again, Joe Biden is trying to rewrite history by crediting his administration—and his administration only—for having “turned the tide” against the COVID-19 pandemic. “From a year of darkness, we’re now emerging into the light,” Biden said during remarks at Cuyahoga Community College in Cleveland. “We’ve turned the tide on a once-in-a-century pandemic. We’ve turned the tide on a once-in-a-generation economic crisis, and families are beginning to be able to breathe just a little bit easier. We still have work to do, but our future today is as bright and wide open as it ever has been.” Biden never once mentioned Operation Warp Speed.

Rep.

Cheney was ousted by her party from leadership earlier this month for having repeatedly criticized former President Donald Trump for his past statements on the 2020 election.

President Joe Biden mistakenly blamed the “Tuskegee airmen” training program for fueling black American hesitancy about the coronavirus vaccine. “By the way, many of the older members of that community had memories of experimentation on black Americans that were not told about, like what happened, with the, you know, Tuskegee airmen and all those tests,” Biden said. “And so there was a great reluctance.” [Video] Biden spoke about vaccine hesitancy in the black community during an interview with YouTube star Jackie Aina. But the Tuskegee Flight Training Program was focused on testing and proving the ability of black Americans to fight in combat, not medical experimentation.

Insurrection Obsession 1 reply

Okay, let’s say out loud what the regime doesn’t want said – there was no insurrection. At least not in Washington, D.C. Now, in places like Portland and Seattle, there were and are insurrections, actual ongoing occupations of actual territory by actual criminals where the government is expressly told it’s not in charge and to stay out. And, of course, the government tolerates those insurrections. It does so because the Democrats in charge – this nonsense never happens in Florida with DeSantis in charge – perceives the actual insurrectionists as political allies, so they do nothing. Some insurrections, it appears, are more insurrectiony than others.

The budget office is projecting 5.2 per cent growth for the year, with strong growth continuing into 2022 at a projected 4.3 per cent growth rate before leveling off.Annual deficits, which spiked amid a flood of spending to counter the coronavirus, will come down – but the accumulated debt held by the public will reach $24 trillion this year – 109 per cent of the nation's Gross Domestic Product.
