Youthville Confession

We visted with our state representative last Friday about our problems getting to see the boys. We got a call yesterday from an upper level manager at Youthville. He said he had a call from the state representative and he wanted to hear our side of how we were treated. Before I could start he told me the case manager had been fired and during the conversation he indicated the foster parents in Lyons are no longer foster parents. He said he had talked to several people that we had dealing with at Youthville and they had nothing but good things to say about us. He said the case manager shouldn't have made the recomendation that we have supervised visits. He was sorry we had to go through all this but there is nothing they can do about it now. I suggested they go back to court and tell the judge what he had told me and he said "Oh no,we couldn't do that". So us and the boys go on paying for the state and there contractors mistakes. One good thing came out of the conversation. When I told Ruby the case manager had been fired she giggled and did a little dance. I was afraid she would break something.

I am no lawyer, but I do know if a government contractor causes an error of this magnitude, they can be sued. The reason the management representative would not go back to court with you is he would have to admit an error occurred.

It would be worth exploring with your lawyer, if for no other reason than exposing the contracting firm and keeping other parents and grandparents from suffering as you have.

If you pursue this line of reasoning it is very likely the court will have to over turn its judgment and everyone wins. Well, everyone except a government contractor who is taking taxes dollars to do a very bad job.
