The child accepted full responsibility

In August 2007, Judge Laura Parker gave approval for Hope4KidZ’ director to take ADB and DLB to New York for medical and psychiatric testing, freely monitored and administered by Dr. Louis Pupo and forensic psychologist Jill Jones-Soderman.

In September 2007, Child Protective Services removed the boys from their mother’s care, citing neglectful supervision. Although approved by Judge Laura Parker, CPS prevented Hope4KidZ from obtaining the medical and psychiatric testing that responsible parents of children with disabilities obtain, to ensure an accurate diagnosis of physical, mental, environmental lead poisoning, and developmental issues, as presented by minor children, ADB and DLB resulting in the most appropriate treatment. The Autism Society of San Antonio provides helpful resources.

As of Sunday, April 17, 2011, CPS denies two children with severe disabilities, complete medical and psychological evaluations, and assessments. The first requests to CPS for complete evaluations and assessments began in September 2004; when the boys were ages 9 and 11.

DFPS RESULTS:

ADB, age 17, continues to run away from foster care in an attempt to return to his family. Once a continual A-B Honor Roll Student, he failed at least one grade, and is not likely to obtain a high school diploma. Last year, ADB ran away from a foster care placement in the Woodlands to reach the director of Hope4KidZ home.

Judge Montemayor ignored Emergency Motions to speak to the child, to address the ADB’s allegations of drug and physical abuse within the foster placement; although, the District Attorney, and CPS supervisor were standing in the hallway. Someone mentioned the child’s complicity in any drug use; determined without an investigation, ignoring the child’s positive for illicit drugs.

DLB, age 15, remains locked in the Corsicana Residential Treatment Center without any progress. When the child recently accepted full responsibility for three guards dislocating his shoulder and breaking his arm in the hallway of the school, everyone was pleased to see the child take responsibility for his actions.

The child’s actions? With permission, he left his classroom to retrieve a point sheet from another room. When the hallway monitor engaged the 15 year old, with extreme short stature, an attempt to retrieve a point sheet resulted in three guards physically dislocating his shoulder and breaking his arm in the area one would expect an adult to grab a child’s arm.

The child accepted full responsibility for the actions of three guards. I am certain the child did not respond well to the hall-monitor talking in the hood-kinda’ language they use at the Corsicana RTC, and the guard’s attempt to incite a child with aggressive issues worked extremely well. The child accepted full responsibility!
