Posting up here is already getting something done. I wish that I'd done it earlier. A note this morning from a great advocate says, "Tim Eissinger who oversees the DBGRs and he's just not sure how the breakdowns happened with communication because truly what's happening the DBGR in Bismarck or Western Plains is going to be serving youth who don't have the dual diagnosis per se, they are moving those children to the Minot campus to be served because of referrals and the need for having more youth to serve in the community locally, so what they've been doing is talking to parents and custodians one on one by phone or during staffing their direct meetings with the case managers, so they have been accommodating parents and custodians on time frames and the moves and the comfort levels and also you know how they're wanting to not mix the populations so the youth who have the dual diagnosis can get more specialized treatment up in Minot. They've been also meeting with custodians and providers either direct or by phone too and they've have been giving presentations to the field they targeted about 55% of the state by talking with county directors, PATH, DJS, human service directors and other providers who have children under their care, so I talked to Tim this morning cell phone..."

That is a big, fat, racist lie. To begin with, we were told point blank by the social worker, Marlene Sorum, that our nephew was going to placed with us. Period. I wrote an injunction and told Marlene that nephew should not get bounced around again, and I told the lawyers that I had an injunction that needed to filed before the deadline to stop him moving to Minot. He's now in Minot. The grandparent's also objected strenuously to moving this child even further away. Especially when there are services and homes in the Fargo area where members of the family do live, and where more family members travel to the VA, and visit.

It also bothers me "wanting to not mix the populations;" I want to know the racial and religious demographics of Minot. They aren't wanting to mix WHOM? And further, " the need for having more youth to serve in the community locally;" Serve in the community? Like inmate cleanups? Lock up your own d^mn black population and leave my nephew out of your "need for youth to serve." My nephew needs speech and language HELP!, not to be picking up trash by the side of a ND road.
