Bear with me....even the explanation is going to make no sense. So if you can figure this out - please let me know.
MST program is transferring our case to Idiot Caseworker....since she is handling all of our other services.
The MST program people had a telephone conference with Idiot Caseworker. Idiot Caseworker explained to MST people that she has not provided us any services because we are not actually "in" the program....we are still on the waiting list. {Which is total bull-hockey, by the way....we were on the waiting list in 2009 and were finally, FINALLY supposed to start receiving services at the end of 2010}
Then Idiot Caseworker called me to let me know that she thought she found a new Behavior Person for us....but that didn't work out...so she has to check with her supervisor and then she is going to interview a couple of new people to be the "new", new Behavior Person. I asked her whether she was now going to be handling Family Support services, since Ms Ally quit and will no longer be coming to our home.
Nope. Idiot Caseworker explained that our case has been "closed".
Come again?????
Yep.
OUR CASE HAS BEEN CLOSED.
WTH?????!!!!?????!!!!!
It has been determined that difficult child does not display any physical or verbal aggression. Therefore, we do not qualify for services.
Who made this determination? Caseworker does not know. She has no information - just that the case is closed.
THEN she went on to say something about paperwork and supervisors and she was gonna work really hard on getting on a Behavior Person who could start working with difficult child.
And in a related story....I happened to see a Behavior Person work with a middle-school child the other day. The BiPolar (BP) brought the girl (who looked to be at least 13) to a kiddie playground where parents were pushing toddlers on swings. The BiPolar (BP) sat on a park bench and filled out paperwork while the girl wandered around looking for something to do. After an hour, the BiPolar (BP) got up and took the girl home. In what freakin universe is THAT considered therapy?????
I'm just disgusted with the whole d*mn thing.
Does anyone think a letter to the governor would really make a difference? If so, what would I say????
