Today I received another response to the ethical complaint that I had sent out last month. Regarding the situation. I have already received one response from the State Board which more or less said that since she (evil caseworker) was within a county agency she was outside of their jurisdiction. But they did open an investigation with the other complaint on the psychologist who thought, amongst other things, that it was abusive to bathe with my children. So I am satisfied to that means. I also wrote to other agencies in pursuit of ethical justice.
I got a response today from the highly acclaimed Inspector General who has been placed within Cuyahoga County to investigate all claims of ethical misconduct amongst county employees. She would be the lady to write to, right?
Apparently not.
The response I received today was more or less, sorry, I don't want to deal with this case so I have summarized it in my own words and passed it along to the director in charge of the agency you are complaining about.
GREAT
Essentially, I know now that there will be no retribution with my case, legally or ethically. None whatsoever. There will be no justice for the wrongdoing that occurred and no admittance that yes, maybe, just maybe, she fucked up big time.
Nope.
Essentially what has happened is this, the mean parent of the school bully has received the complaint about their child, do you think this is going to be confronted or fixed? Probably not.
I can't really pursue any of this legally, there aren't many viable options and pretty much no one will take a case against the county or the state. Even if I had appealed or gone through with any of my options within the case, that wouldn't have done anything because it would have circled around and ended up at the doorstep of that horrible woman who made all of the legal determinations anyhow.
And what are they supposed to do anyhow? The case is closed. My points are moot.
So where is the retribution? Where is the remedy to fix this wrongdoing? Is there any?
I am coming to firmly believe that there is not.
No one is going to apologize and admit that this woman messed up my life, my children and everything else more or less because she didn't know what she was doing. All of the evidence is there, they can read their own policies, which she broke very plainly and clearly. All of the facts of things played out, there was never anything wrong with my child.
Are they ever going to apologize for the things that they made me believe? How I was pushed to believe that my child had been raped, that her father had done terrible things to her? Marilyn still talks about how much she hated being at the foster home and she is scared to ever go back. Mallory doesn't, she is too little, but Marilyn is STILL talking about the foster mother. One month and my child is affected for life. She is too old for these to be preverbial memories and she will remember.
This whirlwind of a situation has only created an awareness for me and I am striving to make a difference. A bigger difference in a most significant way. Rome wasn't built in a day though, and I am steadily working.
I will slowly simmer, but will rage with an unstoppable inferno after I am started.
Watch out Cuyahoga County. I will have my retribution.

I think you are right in that there will be no retribution. The only way that there will be any type of satisfaction is if there is a "public" outcry. I'm sure that there are probably many who have gone through the same thing. As a group they would listen. A single case they will just sweep under the rug as they are doing now. Maybe start a blog to find the others? I don't know the answer. I do know this, as each day passes I would become more bitter and comitted to makng sure it never happens to another. Keep up the fight. Remember this, if you stir up a hornets nest make sure you are squeeky clean. They may return to make your life miserable in hopes of discrediting you. That's the game of Politics in this county.
Rome was not built in a day..there is a story behind a story, behind a story...layers upon layers of many years gone by!
Are you still alive?
