We Now Know the Value of an Abused Child: $1000 dollars: Homes of Hope and America Care

The Business of Child Abuse

By Joshua Allen

Some America Care foster parents have received an interesting call from a social worker looking to leave and who hopes to bring the foster family over to Homes of Hope/West Covina Foster family agencies.

Homes of Hope/West Covina Foster agencies are essentially the same, featuring the same 6 figure salaried double dipping CEO Sukhwinder Singh.  We will have more to say about Homes of Hope and Ms. Singh soon, as well as their financials.

But back to the interesting calls:

Briefly, America Care foster family agency is losing their contract by the end of October, and the mostly absent and highly paid executives are doing everything they can to salvage their jobs and a large portion of their salaries by joining or merging with another agency rumored to be a place called Child Net foster agency.

One can only wonder what deals our mostly absent executives are trying to negotiate which would entice Child Net to maintain the nefarious trio in the lifestyle ‘to which they have become accustomed.’

Any agency will have to balance the dynamic trio soiled reputations, and decide if the embarrassing odor is worth the positive balance sheet, since as we know, embarrassing odor attracts flies, or in this case, county auditors.  (Are you listening Child Net)?

Uh…But back to the interesting calls.

What the America Care foster parent has told us is that Homes of Hope/West Covina Foster Agency has offered social workers $1000 dollars if they could get the foster families (including the abused children) to come to the new agency, and this particular foster care social worker has  offered to split this money with the foster parent who contacted us.

$500 dollars each!

Not a bad deal.  Heck, what’s one agency over another?   Suki (Homes of Hope) must really be feeling the satisfaction since others report that America Care and Homes of Hope originally had some type of family blood connection until the Caine and Able split.

So we ask as before, where is the county in this unseemly trash heap?  Because when it comes to the care of abused and neglected children, the free market has only one role period.

And that is to help repair the lives of the abused children; to repair their damaged world; to somehow make it more livable.  And this is clearly not the case.

But it’s all good, and it’s not about money of course.  Homes of Hope is said to be offering financial incentives to social workers, to bring foster parents to them, because of  their abundance of love and assistance they can offer the children.

You see it’s all about the children.

Authors Note:

We are still trying to find out exactly what precipitated the Counties decision to pull the contract from America Care.  What we cannot understand or abide is that this appears to be a secret.

It is our money, and as near as we can tell there are no applicable rules of confidentiality that must protect children.

We suspect it may have something to do with the Ghost employee.  We really must wonder if we were too quick to dismiss the link with Homeland Security as dumbstruck as this seems.

Bankruptcy, loans and promissory notes, the invisible man – is any of this stuff real?

The County clearly is afraid they will be sued so we are left to our own devices, which, for want of a better word – stinks.   And this is the one constant.  They don’t want a misstep.   They don’t want to be sued.

Maybe it’s the simplest thing, simple cruddy malfeasance.  If that is the case, tell us …  Just tell us.

We remind the County, this is a public contract, using public monies, it’s our money.

And neither the County nor America Care are exempt from public transparency and audit.  And we want to know, we demand quite frankly, how come this agency is being forced to close?  And who is hiding what?

And why?
