ACS Staten Island Bullies Parents with threats to MOVE..

     Yes, this is what these types of services do, they bully a parent or parents when a parent asks questions about their own children, asking for help for the foster parent with transportation. Kids have so many appointments when in foster care, but for some it's just too much and isn't needed but when it is, the foster agency is supposed to be there to help with transportation especially if the foster parents work.
      I can tell you personally in Pennsylvania, that's exactly how it works. IF foster parents work, the foster agency caseworkers or MHP's as their known, step in to actually do the transportation to appointments, school meetings and so on. So if ACS doesnt like the questioning, they make threats, well we'll just move your children, so is that in the best interest of the children?
      Heck NO!!!! They have already been removed from their home, then removed from a school, so ACS answer is to move again and again because they won't be honest, won't help, won't answer questions.

Many parents are decent people who need help and yet many others are slime but if you have a parent who can offer proof, who wants his or her children, can offer a home, food, clothes, and an education and unconditional love, yet ACS prefers to either return the children to slime, and or move the kids! Yea! What a helpful agency. Maybe they individually need their backgrounds checked into. How far back should someone go? When is enough enough to prove to society you're a good person ?

Seamens Society, S.I. New York, Unfair Towards DAD ...ACS

       Recently I have become familiar with a family situation with sadly, two children are involved.
It is so deep that I am going to do my best to shorten it but to star with, the Dad in this is being railroaded! Sure two side to every story, so tell me if a man has proof that his wife texts him, I want 800. a month,  pay me every two weeks, no weekly, plus two hundred to pay my father, you can have her all you want, all I want is custody! But you have to sign paper. The woman is speaking of their child a nine year old. She has some broken English as she comes from Columbia, but she is very knowledgeable in having an income.
      This father has so much proof of children being left alone, not being fed properly, and even ACS -children's services in Staten Island sat and waited for mom to come home one day for hours, finally telling the male child to get his coat, they were leaving. The mother as she calls herself is on welfare, allowed to speak Spanish in meetings so the father doesn't know whats being said while the woman from SEAMAN'S SOCIETY chats with her about how their families come from the same village or town in Columbia! Nice, and so interesting that the father doesn't have anyone to translate, not interpret, but translate. He had an attorney who he paid in full. Yup the lawyer took his money and adios basically, not there  as this dad needs.

     Apparently it appears the mother here is being rewarded somehow for getting parenting classes while the father has to wait. WHY?? So it looks as if she cares and he doesn't ? He loved her and she became a citizen. He supported her and her son, loves him, gave her money as she wanted and needed, very often. He loved her and her son until he became a citizen. Now ten years are up and she dumps him, hate him, cant stand the site of him, BUT will basically sell her little girl in my opinion, keeping custody and he can have her all he wants. I've seen her texts to him, so much about money. She pressed charges and dropped them, hoping for money, then tried to press them again.
      This man needs a father rights attorney ! This man hasn't been a saint, but since he married this woman, he has more than tried to be a hard working husband and father. Then he heard rumors while separated and moved in with her. She allowed it as so did her welfare landlord as this man was now shelling out again, to both the landlord and his wife. He started to make her apartment livable. Mice, steps, and foundation breaking down, and he set mice traps inside and outside of the home.
   All the while this woman knew how she could get a new apartment and all expense paid by welfare...press domestic charges against this man. Yes, she learns fast about our laws, now her laws.
   In my opinion, ACS and the Seamen Society, both powerful agencies, are putting a very large screw to this man. By the way, I'm not too crazy about men, but I do believe in being fair.

       The Newspapers should know his story, an internal investigation of policy and compliance should happen, and an ACLU case should open in addition to a fathers rights attorney to be located ! Oh, I didn't forget-this is all supposed to be about "the best interest of the child/children ? Is it? The male child doesn't know how to stay safe and he's older. The little girl doesn't want to visit mommy when told.. These people, ACS and the SEAMENS SOCIETY appear to be working for whats in teh best interest of the female parent. Have they even bothered to care about proof ? Have they bother to care or do they just want this to go away so they can say, look what a good and speedy job we did.. Yeah, pat yourselves on the back...for taking away the rights of a father! Comprende'  

Mattress Firm, Positive and Negative

          As I sit here at 8:05 P.M. on a Saturday evening waiting for me mattress set, I'm sure you can tell this is the negative. It was to be delivered between 5&7 P.M. Calling the store I spoke with Josh a floating manager, who was sincere and apologetic. I was satisfied with him and really didn't need to speak with anyone else. He returned my call and let me know that now, my bed would arrive around 9:10 P.M. !!!   He handled me, if that's what we call it when they do what they need to do, but suddenly I hear a voice in the background and Josh is apologizing saying it's the manager, John. What, he didn't trust Josh  to do his job.?
         As I was being handed over to John, I was saying, why so he can give me his spiel? But john had the phone, and sad no, it's not a spiel. He went on to let me know he'd refund my delivery fee. I was upset at now having an after nine o'clock delivery, but didn't show it in my voice except to say, two hours late? John went on with well, we don't know what happened, the truck could have broken down, the weather etc. Okay fine, so why not have someone one who was involved in the actual delivery give me a courtesy call? There is no excuse except, how it feels, screw her, she can wait!

      That's how it feels. I went a step further and told John, I'm taking this a step further, how about the frame for free? He said a sharp and firm, NO! He went on about how I received a fair price, already reduced, that the set was already half price. Everyone received the sale price! The only difference was with Carl changing a few numbers to keep it under six hundred.

      Okay then someone is lying. Carl the store manager from mechanicsburg told me it was regularly 699. for the set. So how is 450. half price?  The reason the frame was reduced and delivery was reduced is because my total cost came to over six hundred and Carl didn't want to do a deposit so he very kindly worked it out so my card was charged just under  what I wanted to pay, not over six hundred ! Carl? I would work with him anytime and Josh as well, but not John as it appeared to me he was a tad bit arrogant. Sure he acted polite yet arrogant.
      Two hours late is worth more than a 55.12 delivery fee-My TIME is just as important.
I realize delivery people have to be paid, but this is completely inexcusable! TWO HOURS LATE !

     Carl! My experience as a sales manager which he was,  was more than nice as he wasn't pushy, gave me plenty of space if I wanted to browse, answered questions without trying to persuade. He was classy, well mannered and well dressed. Carl is the kind of salesperson to go to, the kind of person who makes a person feel comfortable when shopping. Thank You Carl, Thank you Josh.
       

Chatham Diner w/ Pictures, Rte. 41

Finally I stopped to get a photo of this sweet diner and although it was almost two weeks ago since I stopped for breakfast, I'm still in awe over the freshness of the food served here and anxious to go back.
The little red planter box sits along the road with another box barely in the picture. Right, taking photos is not my forte, but food is and so are people. You know when you feel comfortable around people, if they're genuine or not.
        I know trucks like to stop in at those big truck stops, gas up, wash up, and eat up. So go ahead and do that except, wait to eat until you get to The Chatham Diner. The menu is very enticing, a selection for anyone. It's worth every cent you pay, and what you won't get are fake smiles, an imitation of people putting on a front to get tips, whiny conversation and talking to you like your five years old. This is a real family place with true home cooking. You won't see a bunch of people with cell phones. They like conversations. Well you won't see a bunch of people at all as this seats twenty-one people. The large parking lots allows for a few truckers to get in and out with ease.
        Slow down on 41, and look for this little diner/house. Enjoy. You won't forget it !

Vegan vs. Drs. and Skin Care= Hypocrites

         Opening my screen page this morning I noticed a giant ad for skin care and it looks by all appearances something worth reading. A heart surgeon introduces himself and starts talking about a motorcycle guy who lost weight and also noticed how his skin cleared up. I'm not going to bore you with all of the bluster. It was only a minute or so in that I wonder, what is this guys selling but I have patience, and waited, and waited, Finally he gets to what he's selling.

         But he made a huge mistake this doctor Mundry ? In the middle and yes, I'm glad I did listen for so long as the good doctor stated," look at Vegans, their skin glows".

    So why in the world would anyone need supplements? He also stated that good skin comes from the inside out.  Yup, in the food we eat.  Good Luck and try to eat more greens!
