Questions For Department of Human Services
Last week a Lincoln County woman secretly gave birth to a child then stuck the newborn in a closet. The mother was taken to the hospital for treatment. She later admitted giving birth and told officials where she put the baby. The baby was found alive and is doing well. The mother was later charged with child abuse and neglect. Now this story gets even stranger. The child is put into the custody of the Mississippi Department of Human Services. That agency then gives the baby to another family member. The mother in question still has custody of her two year-old child. WJTV asked DHS a series of questions about this case. Did the agency investigate whether the woman’s other child was in danger? Did the agency place any visitation limitations on the mother? Who was the person that gave final approval to allow this baby to be placed back into this family’s care? So far, a DHS spokesperson tells WJTV only one person can answer our questions and he is on the coast in meetings. That was Friday, July 20th. As of Tuesday, July 24th, WJTV still has not received any answers to our questions. WJTV understands Mississippi taxpayers supply this person with a cell phone. DHS will not provide WJTV with that number so we can ask this person our questions. We will keep trying to get someone to answer these questions and when we do, we’ll be sure to pass the answers on to you. I’ve been in some long meetings but one that lasts five days? Tell me what you think.

Department of Human Services V.S. Single Mothers. Childsupport needs to have its books looked at and examined and half the staff needs to be re-evaluated.I have a story to tell and I need someone to tell it to. It has taken this agency 7 years to even pay attention to my case. Finally after several letters to people in high places. I was not longer a Case No. my case was tried and I visited the Judge Agnew. about 4 times and continued to get a temp order for 100.00. and the Council said nothing I complained. Finally in 2007. The AP was incarcerated for back pay. Guess how much he owed. after 8 years 3000.00. and on a temporary order. I was disgusted. Because of the disfuctional system - all of that payment went to funds i rec back in 2001. Shouldn’t there be a statue for the agency to have to go by cause my minor child needed ever piece of that money. This agency his here for nothing and this has to change. the money ot takes to pay all the people to run that agency. I could have hired a lawyer and got a better payment than so…...... |
