The picture speaks for itself...
With a warning before you read:
Red flags, migraines, and anxiety makes me swear.
A lot.
(If you are easily offended, leave now).

Good Early Morning;
I can't sleep.
My head is throbbing, and my stomach feels as though it is ripped from my throat.
As I am sitting here, gathering my thoughts, it occurred to me that I was more than a bit chilled. I threw on a blanket... Then finally have turned the thermostat back up to 67.
Still chilled, but the smell of reigniting the furnace is gone now. That new 'burn' smell always bothers me as it burns that bit of dust off the system.
Punk came and laid between my cold feet and the register.
Sassy dog.
Next time she will lay ON my feet, or get shooed away.
Back to Master Gabriel...

This one, taken on Sunday, 09/14/08-
As he helped me pick some veggies from the field;
trying not to get lost~

We went to court again on Gabriel's behalf yesterday.
Roberta has now received the formal complaint against her. She also decided to have her 'new' boyfriend accompany her to court. (A completely inappropriate appearance as far as I am concerned).
But wait... What if anything, of Berta's parenting skilss are appropriate of late?
In the complaint, she admitted to using marijuana for the last 6 months of her pregnancy! What effect this will have on our Sam remains to be seen...
Intuition?
~I absolutely KNEW there was a reason, way beyond me being concerned about Berta calling the cops on me...
ALWAYS listen to your guts!

Not that the intake worker gave a good damn, but Casey did inform her before we went into the courtroom that this guy is a "Registered Sex Offender".
Did it make the case worker then take note?
Nope.
Did she spare a few seconds to even inform the judge?
Nope.
CLICK HERE for the Wisconsin Sex Offender Website. (Enter "Michael A. Turner" if you want to know more). .
Photo from Wisconsin DOC.
The charge that he was found guilty of and spent years in prison for?
948.02(2) (Second degree sexual assault of a child).
.
During the hearing, it was found that Roberta could pick up Gabriel on her own, and NOT have supervised visitation.
I am SICKENED (and stunned) with this new recommendation.
As Casey was too...
(Mostly though, afraid that Gabriel will be either harmed; or simply disappear on us during one of these visits).
We left that hearing, (Casey and I), came back here, grabbed a few papers that I printed up from the website for verification- and brought them to the caseworkers office.
She wasn't "IN" at this point, but the receptionist DID stamp the papers as "received"
Then over to the States office building, where we met with Turners case manager. As it stands, there seems to be a conflict with his registered address.
His address for the DOC is one place. The address that he lives at is another, miles away.
(And need I mention that he is too very close to a park/playground AND two schools)???
This worker, though pleasant and caring, really did not seem too troubled with hearing this.
She told us to find out the owners name of the house they are living in, and go from there.
?
I guess there really is no one that is truly concerned with this information.
We have all been led, by this FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY, that we know where these convicts live.
Word to the wise:
DO NOT EVER BELIEVE THAT YOU KNOW WHERE SEX OFFENDERS LIVE.
Sick, ain't it?
.
.
I also went to this site. CLICK HERE. And found out that he has quite a record with the State of Wisconsin; although I saw no drug charges.
(Again, enter "Michael A. Turner" if you want to know more)..
.
- Where the hell does Roberta find these perverts?
- What the hell makes them (or herself) so attractive?
- And what in the EFFING hell is she even thinking in the first place?
The state worker said Turner had just been in, and yes Roberta was with him.
So Roberta does know about his record. ~WTFH?
Is your own head spinning yet???
Casey and I made tracks to the other side of town then; giving the temporary foster family a copy of his file from the DOC.
(Not sure what opportunities for denial of visitation this will give them, if any, but at least now they know too).
Trust me on this...
If anything bad happens to Gabriel, or if he gets 'lost', some heads will roll.
And I will start right at the State level, then CPS, Social Services.
Then the court commissioner, and work my way down.
Today then, I shall make sure that the city police and the sheriffs department are also given these papers with the conflicting addresses for this guy.
(I have to go to both because this guy lives in the city, but his address with the DOC is out of town).
Oh, and have you ever wondered how the state keeps track?
Q. How do they verify where sex offenders live?
A.They send out a letter, and the perv simply has to reply to that.
Then I shall have to find out who Gabriel's GAL is, and to ensure that he also has copies of this all.
My anxiety minds bigtime.
So very hard to function with all of that.
That, and the fact that I have had a major headache for a couple of days now.
Comes and goes.
Needs a shot, but no 'how' to get that in...
It is SO hard to be doing all of this running around when a simple phone call, (and a double check on their own damned computers), would verify all of this.
And if it wasn't for Gabriel's safety I would NOT be doing everyone elses job for them either.
***Wouldn't you think that all of this would upset someone (besides myself and Casey); and that there would actually BE someone who gives a sh*t about it all???
Sadly, if you thought that, you would be wrong.
Any lawyers out there?
Somebody PLEASE give me a leg to stand on.
For now I am going to try to rest a bit-
These damned pills are clearly not working.
Love to all.
XOXO
Anne
