Apparently, the San Jose Mercury News will begin their investigative story on the role of the courts and foster care this Sunday. This has been in the works for months so we shall see what direction the article reads the system. About a month ago, talking to someone in Santa Clara's Social Services, they were aware of the article coming out and they were glad that more awareness is being raised on the 'court partners' to Child Protective Services, instead of just pinning all the bad news on CPS. They know CPS is not perfect, don't get them wrong, but with the Judicial system, District Attorneys and Legal Dependency Services (county -contracted representation) it makes for quite an adversarial relationship - usually with the family and child losing out (in my opinion).
Looks like my blog made it in to Santa Clara's Family Court Services records. About a week ago, a father posted his dispute with Family Court on Craiglist which I then put on this site. His posting got flagged and deleted by someone but mine still lives on. I did eventually take out the name of the wife in respect to the privacy of the child involved in the allegations. However, there appears to be some wheels churning on this case - whether good or bad, don't know yet. Rumor has it, a court petition was submitted mentioning how the case is now on the internet, specifically naming this blog, "Adventures in Human Rights."
On the article I blogged re Eli Lilly Drug Cartel possibly settling their federal lawsuit for $1 bazillion dollars, interestingly enough, apparently, the way this got leaked to the press was through an e-mail that was sent to a wrong address and that wrong address just happened to be a newspaper. When you use Outlook, it has an 'automatic complete' address function which means you can type in just a few letters of an address and it will fill in the rest for you. Lesson to be learned here somewhere. Here is the link to the story:
