Couple say adopted son beyond their help
They want a law to allow the return of foster children to the state.
Melissa and Tony Wescott adopted a child described as developmentally appropriate, but within a year the boy was diagnosed with at least four types of severe mental-health disorders. STEPHEN HOLMAN / Tulsa World

The scrapbook pages show a smiling 8-year-old boy on his first day of school, opening Christmas gifts and hanging around with new friends.
Melissa Westcott's hand-written messages next to the photos shower affection on her "little man" and "baby."
The pages don't show the turmoil that started brewing months after the adoption of the child from the custody of the state Department of Human Services.
The Tulsa resident and her husband, Tony, love the son they adopted two years ago, but now say he is too much for them to handle.
After the adoption, the boy became violent toward other children and nonresponsive to adults, hurt and killed animals and ran away regularly, requiring law enforcement help, they say.
Within a year, he received diagnoses including reactive detachment disorder, disruptive behavior disorder, major depressive disorder, post traumatic stress disorder and fetal alcohol syndrome. He has frequented in-patient therapeutic facilities.
"We were told he was a normal boy who would have the normal adjustment issues any child in foster care would have," said Melissa Wescott. "We have been his biggest advocates and strongest fighters. But we are scared of him, and that hurts us."
The Wescotts are among a group seeking changes in law to allow adoptive parents to return custody of foster children to the state in specific circumstances.
A legislative Adoption Review Task Force is evaluating issues involving adoptions of children in state custody.
DHS
takes the position that adoptive parents are the legal guardians and should be treated as any parent with a biological child.
Some say it is unfair for adoptive parents to be legally punished for not being able to care for a child if severe disabilities not known or disclosed are discovered.
"Do you know how many times we grieved for him? Grieved the loss of him?" said Wescott. "We want the best for him, and that is not in this home."
'Out of options'
The couple understand abused and neglected children will have some emotional issues but requested a child not experiencing severe trauma, said Melissa Wescott.
"We knew what we could handle and what we couldn't," she said. "We had to say no to children who were violent or acting out sexually. We have had experience with children facing physical disabilities and that didn't scare us. But severe mental health, emotional or behavior problems are more crippling for us."
In 2007, the couple found an 8-year-old boy who had been taken from his parents, who had chronic substance abuse problems. By then, he had spent about three years in DHS custody. The World is not disclosing his name to protect his privacy.
DHS disclosure documents call the child "well-behaved" and "polite and well mannered." He is described as "respectful toward authority" and "makes friends easily."
"He has no difficulty with attachments and he knows right from wrong, " the documents state. "He does not demonstrate any significant behavioral problems which would be considered abnormal for a child his age.
"(The child) has not received counseling services and these services have not been indicated as a need for him at this time. (The child) is developmentally appropriate."
While challenges arose the first few months, the couple considered it typical. But problems intensified after signing the DHS disclosure agreement, which states the agency gave all information available to the couple, and final adoption.
It became a daily battle as the child isolated himself and started a pattern of lying, Wescott said.
Several knives and fire-making materials were found under his mattress, and a trash can in his room had been set on fire. He soon was caught killing frogs by throwing them against a barn, and he hurt the family's pet dogs. He attacked a neighbor child with a board, and running away became common, she said.
"No discipline seemed to work," Wescott said. "It's like he had no sympathy or empathy for anything. We tried everything to bond with him, and it's like he's not capable. He has so much rage, anger and hurt."
The foster mother claims she informed DHS of the child's violent behavior, Wescott said. No DHS records reflect any claims made.
DHS officials do not comment on specific cases.
After he ran away in freezing temperatures and three law enforcement agencies were called to search, officers suggested several therapeutic facilities.
"They knew we couldn't do this anymore," she said. "We were out of options. I was scared to death for him and for us."
The Wescotts fear their son's release from in-patient care in mid-January, saying he has made little progress. They would prefer DHS regain custody and place him in a group setting.
The only options are to sue DHS, which they say is too expensive, or risk a felony abandonment charge.
"I believe every child should have a home," Wescott said. "But not every child does well in a mommy-daddy type home. It hurts us to see him like this, but he doesn't want to be with us. We didn't do this to him. This happened before us. We just want him to get the help he needs."

What's a Mother to Do?
Dear Mrs. Knightly,
I am sending you this heart wrenching letter from a mom I met, while doing research on cases like yours for the Redress of Grievance Caucus with the New Hampshire Legislators. I believe you and other readers will understand the turmoil involved as almost every item listed mirrors only some of the concerns in my own case, your case and numerous others that I have come in contact with.
Thank you inadvance for possibly posting this on your blog and other sites that you are in contact with, I believe this mother wrote out what we all are trying to express.
Sincerely,
Denise M.

Subject: What's a mother to do?
To whom it may concern, December 5, 09
Some of you may know me, may have known me in the past, just met me recently or just now meeting me for the first time. I have tried to keep my friends and family out of the terminus amounts of stress that I have been under for the past year and 1/2. Normally, I would not go around publishing or airing my dirty laundry. At this point I have to look beyond what other people think or feel about me and focus on my children. Just because everyone wants to paint the perfect picture of their family does not always mean that’s what’s going on behind the scenes. I have always been a very optimistic person and saw the glass half full when possible. I have learned over the years that sometimes the only person that you can trust is GOD. Perhaps if you had to go through what I have been through you would feel the same way. I am sending this out as a last ditch effort of desperation in the hopes of justice, but truly in the end GOD will judge us all. Perhaps after you have read what has been happening to me you may not have any advice, help or know what to do. In any case just keep me and my children in your prayers and try to focus on the positive. Life gave me lemon’s and I am making lemon aid.
Your friend,
Julie

What is a mother to do when she is alone fighting for her children against her husband, his attorney, and the court appointed GAL, his professional, the children's counselor, persons in the police department and who knows whom else? To the average person it would seem as if something was wrong with her to have all these issues and this many people to contend against. At first she wondered why it seemed like she was fighting all the odds, but after months of struggle she finally learned that her husband was working with the mob to pay off court officials most likely everyone involved perhaps even you? It has been all over the Florida news how the mob has been getting involved in local divorce cases all over the US, perhaps NH does not want anyone to know its dirty little secret. So now that the cat is out of the bag, what’s a woman to do???????

Your most esteemed and honorable Judge, November 5, 09
I most graciously wanted to inform you that I will be unable to attend the November 24, 09 pretrial. Due to circumstances beyond my control I was forced to leave. I pray that the Lord will touch your heart and guide you in performing Gods perfect will. (Proverbs 21:1) The injustice that I have had to endure is beyond measure. As Christians we should know that the further the government separates church from state the more corrupt the legal system becomes, but I have peace knowing that I do not need to seek vengeance. For vengeance is mine, saith the Lord. (Romans 12:19) Through an intercesorary prayer warrior I learned that the Lord would not allow anyone who judged poorly in my case to ever sleep peacefully again. That there would be no drug ever made to bring peaceful sleep. Peace would only come when justice is served in my case. I take peace in knowing that God is my advocate and I apologize now for any restless night that you have had to endure.
I want you to know that I love my children and it pains me to see them used as careless ponds in an evil game of cat and mouse. I rest assured that God will dwell in my children’s hearts and that they will be grounded in love. (Ephesians 3:17) In the mean time I leave you list of my cherished memories with just me and my children.
1. Reading the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian to the children before bed.
2. Blowing bubbles and singing pop, pop those bubbles while the children took their bath.
3. Volunteering at the YMCA so we could, participate in arts and craft, jamboree, sports mania, swim and music classes together.
4. Taking the boys to Cub Scouts and volunteering so that they could go to summer camp.
5. Taking the children camping to Story Land every year and the memories that we made. Like the year that it rained and we had to smell wet dog.
6. The years driving down to La Salette in Attleboro Massachusetts to see the Christmas lights and of course making a trip to Mallard Point to see the house that is always decked out for the holidays.
7. Years of chauffeuring my precious children to Soccer, Basket Ball and Wresting practice, games and tournaments.
8. Taking the children to a Halloween caravel and seeing the joy on their faces when they won a prize.
9. Every year taking the children to the Pheasant Lane Mall for trick or treating.
10. Going to the Pheasant Lane Mall for Kidgits events, like the bounce house, Easter Egg scavenger hunt and the year that Matthew won a prize in the hunt.
11. Going to Friday night movies at Greeley Park in Nashua and eating pop corn on a blanket.
12. Easter Egg hunts at Wasserman Park as well at the Milford rotary.
13. Going to the drive-in-theater with the kids and one of their friends.
14. Going strawberry, blue berry, raspberry, apple and pumpkin picking at Lull Farms, Brook Dale Farms, Currier Apple Orchard and McQuesten Farm. Each year was a new adventure.
15. A few years of going camping to Santa’s Village. How nervous the Matthew was to go on the humbug the first time.
16. The years of coloring and designing the Easter Eggs together. The years that Nathan and Kayden came and joined the fun.
17. The years of baking the holiday cookies together to give out to the neighbors. Oh how the children loved to sneak in and get a cookie when you were not looking. J
18. Taking the children to the MET, the butterfly place, children museum in Boston, the Aquarium and huge Lego museum in Manchester. And the many other countless fun places we would go on adventures.
19. Taking Melanie to tot drop in at the Milford’s mom’s club while the boys were in school.
20. The summer reading camp/programs at the library.
21. Working on Math Super Star’s with the boys at home. Teaching and watching them learn and grow.
22. Setting the timer for the 5 minute clean up game.
23. Building Lego’s and Connects together.
24. Playing Connect Four and Battleship.
25. Playing baby doll with Melanie.
26. The countless walks around the neighborhood for fund raisers. How the boys loved to race to see who would get to ring the door bell first, eventually they learned to take turns.
27. The boys building forts in the woods. The hours they would spend and the imagination they would use.
28. Matthew learning to ride his bike when he was 3 years old and taking it to preschool to show the kids that he could ride.
29. Joey learning to ride his bike out of determination that he was not going to have his brotherriding a bike before him. He started to ride on the same day as his brother.
30. Matthew skateboarding down to Nathan’s house. He is determined to get as good as Nathan.
31. Joey’s sprit
32. Putting Matthew to bed and giving him as well as black bear a hug and a kissy night night. Not to mention leaving the door open with the light on in the hallway.
33. Laying next to Melanie until she fell asleep then slowly crawling onto the floor to sneak out of the room.
I know this list could go on and on, but I stopped at the number 33 to represent how old I was when my children were taken away. Perhaps his list has no meaning to you, but I just wanted to share a bit of the love I have for my children. For love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth. If you read 1 Corinthians Chapter 13 it will go on to say that love is the greatest gift. By me sharing with you my memories, I am giving you the gift of love.
Now all of this may seem like foolishness to you if you are not a Christian or are spiritually deprived. (1Corithians 2:14) I am a Christian; I love the Lord and want a relationship with God. Now for those reasons my husband is convinced something is wrong with me. Because of all the emotional abuse that I sustained for all those years I have learned to trust in the Lord and that God will be my covering. After months of time to consider the ramification of divorce, I have decided that even though God hates divorce, I know in my case he would grant a divorce. But as a Christian, how can I tell my children that I allowed their father to parish. For this reason I would rather stay married, but be legally separated.
In (2 Timothy 1:7) it says, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” The only thing that has been medically proven beyond a shadow of doubt was that I had a thyroid condition. A thyroid condition that was complicated by Lyme disease. I have since been treated and healed completely of the Lyme. In treating the Lyme I no longer need to take thyroid medication. I have had my thyroid tested over the past few months to insure that everything is in balance. How much longer does a Christian have to suffer for their belief that Jesus Christ is their personal Lord and Savior? Please seek the wisdom from God before making your ruling. (1 Corinthians 2:7)

I am sending you this heart wrenching letter from a mom I met, while doing research on cases like yours for the Redress of Grievance Caucus with the New Hampshire Legislators. I believe you and other readers will understand the turmoil involved as almost every item listed mirrors only some of the concerns in my own case, your case and numerous others that I have come in contact with.
Thank you inadvance for possibly posting this on your blog and other sites that you are in contact with, I believe this mother wrote out what we all are trying to express.
Sincerely,
Denise M.

Subject: What's a mother to do?
To whom it may concern, December 5, 09
Some of you may know me, may have known me in the past, just met me recently or just now meeting me for the first time. I have tried to keep my friends and family out of the terminus amounts of stress that I have been under for the past year and 1/2. Normally, I would not go around publishing or airing my dirty laundry. At this point I have to look beyond what other people think or feel about me and focus on my children. Just because everyone wants to paint the perfect picture of their family does not always mean that’s what’s going on behind the scenes. I have always been a very optimistic person and saw the glass half full when possible. I have learned over the years that sometimes the only person that you can trust is GOD. Perhaps if you had to go through what I have been through you would feel the same way. I am sending this out as a last ditch effort of desperation in the hopes of justice, but truly in the end GOD will judge us all. Perhaps after you have read what has been happening to me you may not have any advice, help or know what to do. In any case just keep me and my children in your prayers and try to focus on the positive. Life gave me lemon’s and I am making lemon aid.
Your friend,
Julie

When she calls the GAL on the situation to see if he can rectify the situation that he created in some cases, so that the court would not need to be needlessly burdened, he twist everything around like she don’t know what she is talking about and continues to reiterate himself redundantly to intimidate and make her feel inferior to him and his position.

To the average person it would seem as if something was wrong with her to have all these issues and this many people to contend against. At first she wondered why it seemed like she was fighting all the odds, but after months of struggle she finally learned that her husband was working with the mob to pay off court officials most likely everyone involved perhaps even you? It has been all over the Florida news how the mob has been getting involved in local divorce cases all over the US, perhaps NH does not want anyone to know its dirty little secret. So now that the cat is out of the bag, what’s a woman to do???????

Your most esteemed and honorable Judge, November 5, 09
I most graciously wanted to inform you that I will be unable to attend the November 24, 09 pretrial. Due to circumstances beyond my control I was forced to leave. I pray that the Lord will touch your heart and guide you in performing Gods perfect will. (Proverbs 21:1) The injustice that I have had to endure is beyond measure. As Christians we should know that the further the government separates church from state the more corrupt the legal system becomes, but I have peace knowing that I do not need to seek vengeance. For vengeance is mine, saith the Lord. (Romans 12:19) Through an intercesorary prayer warrior I learned that the Lord would not allow anyone who judged poorly in my case to ever sleep peacefully again. That there would be no drug ever made to bring peaceful sleep. Peace would only come when justice is served in my case. I take peace in knowing that God is my advocate and I apologize now for any restless night that you have had to endure.
I want you to know that I love my children and it pains me to see them used as careless ponds in an evil game of cat and mouse. I rest assured that God will dwell in my children’s hearts and that they will be grounded in love. (Ephesians 3:17) In the mean time I leave you list of my cherished memories with just me and my children.
1. Reading the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe and Prince Caspian to the children before bed.
2. Blowing bubbles and singing pop, pop those bubbles while the children took their bath.
3. Volunteering at the YMCA so we could, participate in arts and craft, jamboree, sports mania, swim and music classes together.
4. Taking the boys to Cub Scouts and volunteering so that they could go to summer camp.
5. Taking the children camping to Story Land every year and the memories that we made. Like the year that it rained and we had to smell wet dog.
6. The years driving down to La Salette in Attleboro Massachusetts to see the Christmas lights and of course making a trip to Mallard Point to see the house that is always decked out for the holidays.
7. Years of chauffeuring my precious children to Soccer, Basket Ball and Wresting practice, games and tournaments.
8. Taking the children to a Halloween caravel and seeing the joy on their faces when they won a prize.
9. Every year taking the children to the Pheasant Lane Mall for trick or treating.
10. Going to the Pheasant Lane Mall for Kidgits events, like the bounce house, Easter Egg scavenger hunt and the year that Matthew won a prize in the hunt.
11. Going to Friday night movies at Greeley Park in Nashua and eating pop corn on a blanket.
12. Easter Egg hunts at Wasserman Park as well at the Milford rotary.
13. Going to the drive-in-theater with the kids and one of their friends.
14. Going strawberry, blue berry, raspberry, apple and pumpkin picking at Lull Farms, Brook Dale Farms, Currier Apple Orchard and McQuesten Farm. Each year was a new adventure.
15. A few years of going camping to Santa’s Village. How nervous the Matthew was to go on the humbug the first time.
16. The years of coloring and designing the Easter Eggs together. The years that Nathan and Kayden came and joined the fun.
17. The years of baking the holiday cookies together to give out to the neighbors. Oh how the children loved to sneak in and get a cookie when you were not looking. J
18. Taking the children to the MET, the butterfly place, children museum in Boston, the Aquarium and huge Lego museum in Manchester. And the many other countless fun places we would go on adventures.
19. Taking Melanie to tot drop in at the Milford’s mom’s club while the boys were in school.
20. The summer reading camp/programs at the library.
21. Working on Math Super Star’s with the boys at home. Teaching and watching them learn and grow.
22. Setting the timer for the 5 minute clean up game.
23. Building Lego’s and Connects together.
24. Playing Connect Four and Battleship.
25. Playing baby doll with Melanie.
26. The countless walks around the neighborhood for fund raisers. How the boys loved to race to see who would get to ring the door bell first, eventually they learned to take turns.
27. The boys building forts in the woods. The hours they would spend and the imagination they would use.
28. Matthew learning to ride his bike when he was 3 years old and taking it to preschool to show the kids that he could ride.
29. Joey learning to ride his bike out of determination that he was not going to have his brotherriding a bike before him. He started to ride on the same day as his brother.
30. Matthew skateboarding down to Nathan’s house. He is determined to get as good as Nathan.
31. Joey’s sprit
32. Putting Matthew to bed and giving him as well as black bear a hug and a kissy night night. Not to mention leaving the door open with the light on in the hallway.
33. Laying next to Melanie until she fell asleep then slowly crawling onto the floor to sneak out of the room.
I know this list could go on and on, but I stopped at the number 33 to represent how old I was when my children were taken away. Perhaps his list has no meaning to you, but I just wanted to share a bit of the love I have for my children. For love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth. If you read 1 Corinthians Chapter 13 it will go on to say that love is the greatest gift. By me sharing with you my memories, I am giving you the gift of love.
Now all of this may seem like foolishness to you if you are not a Christian or are spiritually deprived. (1Corithians 2:14) I am a Christian; I love the Lord and want a relationship with God. Now for those reasons my husband is convinced something is wrong with me. Because of all the emotional abuse that I sustained for all those years I have learned to trust in the Lord and that God will be my covering. After months of time to consider the ramification of divorce, I have decided that even though God hates divorce, I know in my case he would grant a divorce. But as a Christian, how can I tell my children that I allowed their father to parish. For this reason I would rather stay married, but be legally separated.
In (2 Timothy 1:7) it says, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” The only thing that has been medically proven beyond a shadow of doubt was that I had a thyroid condition. A thyroid condition that was complicated by Lyme disease. I have since been treated and healed completely of the Lyme. In treating the Lyme I no longer need to take thyroid medication. I have had my thyroid tested over the past few months to insure that everything is in balance. How much longer does a Christian have to suffer for their belief that Jesus Christ is their personal Lord and Savior? Please seek the wisdom from God before making your ruling. (1 Corinthians 2:7)
Sincerely, Julie Independence T. Baxter

While You Were Sleeping-How Congress Got into the Family Law Business
Congressional Research Service
Report 97-590
CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT AND VISITATION:
SHOULD THERE BE A FEDERAL CONNECTION?
Carmen D. Solomon-Fears, Education and Public Welfare Division
Updated June 20, 2000
Abstract.
From time to time, the issue arises of whether the federal Child Support Enforcement (CSE)program should be actively involved in enforcing visitation rights. Both federal and state policymakers agree that denial of visitation rights should not be considered a reason for stopping child support payments.

CHILD SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT AND VISITATION:
SHOULD THERE BE A FEDERAL CONNECTION?
Carmen D. Solomon-Fears, Education and Public Welfare Division
Updated June 20, 2000
Abstract.
From time to time, the issue arises of whether the federal Child Support Enforcement (CSE)program should be actively involved in enforcing visitation rights. Both federal and state policymakers agree that denial of visitation rights should not be considered a reason for stopping child support payments.

Human Rights Violations

The United States is the worlds biggest violator of human rights, since the Germans.
How and why do I say this? Any time senators pass laws that allow a person's children to be removed from a home, with out due cause, it is a human rights violation. When child protective services can enter your home, remove your children, and not allow the parents to see them, it is a human rights violation. When child protective services can have your child placed on mind altering drugs, it's a human rights violation. When a school wants your child placed on medication, because they will receive funds from the drug maker. It's a human rights violation. When the person that decides your child's future has little more that a high school diploma, it's a human rights violation.
All of this takes me back to Nazi Germany, when families were torn a part in the middle of the night, by SS officers.
No one wants to believe this is happening in this country. Most certainly not in the land of the free.
Since the passage of the Mondale Act in 1974, families have been torn apart, children have been seized, adopted, never to see their parents again.
Anyone can say you are abusing your child, and they will be picked up.
Children are being snatched from loving homes every day, because of this system.
When a child is picked up, CPS is going to receive over 200.000 dollars, which will be divided between specific case worker, counselors, and foster parents.
these children are placed with specific foster parents, because they are to be brain-washed, and taught how to behave, all of this is done in preperation for them receiving mental care. Eventually they will receive mind-altering drugs.
When a foster parent cares for a child classified as having "behavior problems", the parent receives more compensation. If that child is actually sent to a hospital. they are classified as being "institutionalized", the pay more than doubles.
Parents that try to fight this abuse, find themselves up against a brick wall, because people believe the state is always right, and you must be a "bad person".
If your child is in custody for 18 months, they can put them up for adoption. Don't think someone new will adopt your child, because, that won't happen. They knew who wanted your child, before they were picked up.
The counselors, case workers, CASA, and GAL, all work to gain your child's confidence, and they are coached in what to say, but remember, you can't see your child.
If a school hotlines you, they will get money from the drug company, and payments go to the teachers union.
Usuall, there are specific teachers in schools that work directly with Child Protective Services, these teachers have children identified for the worker, they put a plan in motion to set the parents up. The CPS officer will hot-line you, all of this is done to build a case.
If you know of a child that is being abused, or harmed in any way, try hot-lining the parent. You will probably never have a response to your tip, because the system is not equipped to deal with children in a real crisis. This is most unfortunate, because there a thousands of children that need help.
If you have experienced any of these problems, you can visit the blog legally kidnapped, you will find links there to other sites. One person can't fight this alone, united we are strong.

Lawyer Accused of Assault on DHHS Worker
Please go to the link at the bottom of the page and comment.
By JULIE SHAW
Philadelphia Daily News

A lawyer was hauled out of a Family Court building in handcuffs earlier this week after a social worker accused him of elbowing her in the ribs after he sat down next to her.
Peter Quinn, 53, was charged with aggravated assault and related offenses in the incident, which occurred Tuesday while the two were waiting for a case to be heard in Courtroom K at 1801 Vine St.
After being led out of the building, he was held in a police holding cell for about 15 hours before being released, he said.
Department of Human Services social worker Tamika Cintron, 36, contended that Quinn elbowed her and called her offensive names, according to a police report and DHS Commissioner Anne Marie Ambrose. Ambrose said that Cintron did not know why Quinn elbowed her.
Quinn, in a phone interview yesterday, denied the allegations.
Cintron did not return a phone call for comment.
On Tuesday morning, the two were in the waiting room on a dependency case in which Quinn was representing a parent. Cintron was there to testify in her role as DHS social worker. Cintron was sitting down.
According to a police report, Quinn sat down and threw Cintron's jacket to the side, then elbowed her in the left side of the ribs. Cintron then stood up and said to Quinn: "What the hell is wrong with you?"
Cintron said Quinn then got up and called her a "bitch." She then went to Courtroom K to get away from Quinn and Quinn tried to follow her into the room but was stopped at the door by court officers, according to the report.
http://www.philly.com/philly/news/homepage/20091204_Lawyer_accused_of_assault_on_DHS_worker.html
One observer who was in the court area said yesterday that he saw Cintron by the door yelling, "He hit me! He hit me!" referring to Quinn. The observer said Cintron was "visibly shaken and crying."
Ambrose yesterday called Cintron an "excellent social worker."
City records show that Cintron began working at DHS about two years ago. Ambrose said that Cintron characterized the incident as an "unprovoked attack."
Quinn said that during his approximately 18 years of handling dependency cases "nobody ever accused me of this stuff."
He said that when he went to sit down in the empty seat, he did not initially know Cintron was next to him. He said that the sleeve of her jacket was on his seat and that he moved it toward her seat.
That "pissed her off," he said, contending that she then said to him: "What the f--- are you doing?"
He contended that she elbowed him, then got up and started yelling in the hallway, which separates the waiting area from Courtroom K.
An aggravated-assault charge is routinely lodged when an alleged victim is a member of a protected class, including that of a social worker. Quinn was also charged with simple assault and reckless endangerment.
Sources who know Quinn professionally yesterday described him as argumentative.
One source who works in Family Court said that Quinn "has had difficulties in dealing with people on a daily basis." Another source called Quinn "crazy" and said that "lots of people" have had confrontations with him.
When asked about these comments, Quinn said: "I don't think that's true."
Ambrose said she was not aware of any other recent case of a social worker reportedly being attacked while in court. DHS records show there have been 17 reports of social workers' being injured while out in the field since social worker Danelle Cooper was beaten by Sharonda Sowell in North Philly in fall 2007.
(Maybe they should find a new line of work!)

Department of Human Services social worker Tamika Cintron, 36, contended that Quinn elbowed her and called her offensive names, according to a police report and DHS Commissioner Anne Marie Ambrose. Ambrose said that Cintron did not know why Quinn elbowed her.
Quinn, in a phone interview yesterday, denied the allegations.
Cintron did not return a phone call for comment.
On Tuesday morning, the two were in the waiting room on a dependency case in which Quinn was representing a parent. Cintron was there to testify in her role as DHS social worker. Cintron was sitting down.
According to a police report, Quinn sat down and threw Cintron's jacket to the side, then elbowed her in the left side of the ribs. Cintron then stood up and said to Quinn: "What the hell is wrong with you?"
Cintron said Quinn then got up and called her a "bitch." She then went to Courtroom K to get away from Quinn and Quinn tried to follow her into the room but was stopped at the door by court officers, according to the report.

One observer who was in the court area said yesterday that he saw Cintron by the door yelling, "He hit me! He hit me!" referring to Quinn. The observer said Cintron was "visibly shaken and crying."
Ambrose yesterday called Cintron an "excellent social worker."
City records show that Cintron began working at DHS about two years ago. Ambrose said that Cintron characterized the incident as an "unprovoked attack."
Quinn said that during his approximately 18 years of handling dependency cases "nobody ever accused me of this stuff."
He said that when he went to sit down in the empty seat, he did not initially know Cintron was next to him. He said that the sleeve of her jacket was on his seat and that he moved it toward her seat.
That "pissed her off," he said, contending that she then said to him: "What the f--- are you doing?"
He contended that she elbowed him, then got up and started yelling in the hallway, which separates the waiting area from Courtroom K.
An aggravated-assault charge is routinely lodged when an alleged victim is a member of a protected class, including that of a social worker. Quinn was also charged with simple assault and reckless endangerment.
Sources who know Quinn professionally yesterday described him as argumentative.
One source who works in Family Court said that Quinn "has had difficulties in dealing with people on a daily basis." Another source called Quinn "crazy" and said that "lots of people" have had confrontations with him.
When asked about these comments, Quinn said: "I don't think that's true."
Ambrose said she was not aware of any other recent case of a social worker reportedly being attacked while in court. DHS records show there have been 17 reports of social workers' being injured while out in the field since social worker Danelle Cooper was beaten by Sharonda Sowell in North Philly in fall 2007.
(Maybe they should find a new line of work!)

What are My Rights With CPS/DCYF?
Examiner Bio What are my rights with CPS?

Get alerts when there is a new article from the Family Rights Examiner
As I have said several times, I learn a lot from checking our web stats at the AFRA website to see what people are looking for, and if they found it. When I see an interesting series or pattern of search criteria, I try to do something to help those people find the answer to their question.
Lately, I am seeing several queries along the line of What are my rights with CPS?"
I asked the same question myself in 1999. The answer I got from the nasty CPS witch was a bunch of sickening threats of the terrible things she would do to me if I didn't "cooperate".
So what does their actual Policy say?
Back in those days, Oregon CPS offices manually compiled their Policies Manual in huge 8" thick binders. Each new directive sheet from HQ came in the mail. At the top right corner of each page is an indexing number to indicate where this page should be inserted into the binder. Getting a hard copy of this manual was impossible.
Fortunately, Oregon CPS had recently put the materials ONLINE. Still, it wasn't really publicly available. It was buried in their WAN system. Lucky for me at the time, it wasn't behind a wall of password security. So I downloaded every page and assembled my own digitized version.
That's no longer a problem. Every state (so far as I know) puts their CPS Policy Manuals online, available to anybody with the interest in reading them.
Back to the question What are my rights with CPS?", what I found was DUMB-FOUNDING. I thought there would be lots said about Constitutional Rights, Miranda Rights, Federal and State law CPS was required to observe.
Here's what I found-
NUMBER: I-A.1
POLICY - CLIENT RIGHTS
Discrimination Prohibited. No individual shall, on the grounds of race, national origin, religion, martial status, gender, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, political affiliation, language or disability be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination under programs and activities for which the Department of Human Services has responsibility. This same policy of non-discrimination is equally applicable to all department contractors, grantees, agents and providers of services funded in whole or in part with federal funds
Isn't that sweet? Everybody has the RIGHT to receive CPS "services"!
If you read on down through, you will find them referring to the above as "Civil Rights".
Please allow me to point out that "Civil Rights" are NOT the same thing as CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.
What does the entire Oregon Policy Manual say about Constitutional Rights?
NUMBER: I-A.5.2
(4) The Department, subject to the approval of the Attorney General, has authorized its employees to represent the Department in these contested cases.
(5) A Department employee acting as the Department's representative may not make legal argument on behalf of the Department.
(a) "Legal argument" includes argument on:
(A) The jurisdiction of the Department to hear the contested case;
(B) The constitutionality of a statute or administrative rule or the application of a constitutional requirement to the Department;
What does that mean? I don't know. Doesn't look good to me.
I do know they care nothing about THIS LAW-
ORS418.010 - "Children not to be taken charge of when parents object. Nothing in ORS 418.005 shall be construed as authorizing any state official, agent or representative, in carrying out any of the provisions of that section, to take charge of any child over the objection of either of the parents of such child..."
So the answer to the question What are my rights with CPS?"
Certainly not your Constitutional Rights or Miranda Rights. It's pretty much UP TO YOU to KNOW and DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS. Use them or Lose them.
"The privilege against self-incrimination is neither accorded to the passive resistant, nor to the person who is ignorant of his rights, nor to one indifferent thereto. It is a FIGHTING clause. It's benefits can be retained only by sustained COMBAT. It cannot be claimed by attorney or solicitor. It is valid only when insisted upon by a BELLIGERENT claimant in person." McAlister vs. Henkel, 201 U.S. 90, 26 S.Ct. 385, 50 L. Ed. 671; Commonwealth vs. Shaw, 4 Cush. 594, 50 Am.Dec. 813; Orum vs. State, 38 Ohio App. 171, 175 N.E. 876. The one who is persuaded by honeyed words or moral persuasion to testify or produce documents rather than make a last ditch stand, simply loses the protection. . . . He must refuse to answer or produce, and test the matter in contempt proceedings, or by habeas corpus."
