This Planet is Bonkers

- I've been off blogging for a month, so appalled at the abuses I couldn't write anymore. Well, new year, new adventures. But mainly, I was waiting to see if anyone noticed. A reader mentioned to the lack of postings by me so here we go again!

- San Rafael: A 70 year old plus father is accused of molesting his 2 year old granddaughter. Apparently, he has a history of molesting his own daughters yet none of them had reported this to the proper authorities or anything else effective. Last summer, one of the daughters actually found child porn magazines in the dad's house and did nothing about it. As one result, another of her sister's daughter is molested. It gets better - a Psychologist ignored reports of molestation and instead placed the father in charge of visitations with his grandson. Stay tuned.

- San Jose: In order to regain custody of a 3-year old girl out of foster care, a family member had to request special exemption for a DUI that occurred almost five years ago. The Social Worker that we shall call, "Tony" (because thats his name), held on to the request for 10 days, then added his own 2 cents to the report before submitting it to his boss on - New Year's Eve. Of course, since it was disapproved the Supervisor had to call that day to tell the family member the bad news. Social Workers pine to become part of the extended family to help them through reunification services, but Tony seems to have some strange idea about that. Basically, it was timed to pass on the bad news on what should be a day of positives.

- San Jose: I've been requested to contact a former employee of Eli Lilly Pharma who apparently has a bone to pick with their business practices.

- Milpitas: A mother is requesting help as her daughter was put on psych drugs, turned violent, beat up her boyfriend and is now in Elmwood "Correctional" Facility where she is being fed more psych drugs.

- Unfortunately, there are a number of other cases but I can't even allude to them yet. When the time comes.

Oh, by the way, Happy New Year.
