Instead of "protecting" children in Anishinaabe CFS Custody this is what Senior Management does with their time. Intimidate, harass, and threaten Foster Parents. YOU WILL BE FIRED. From: Sent: Tuesday, February 08, 2011 1:25 PM To: Subject: Attention Hi , Below is a summary of the meeting that took place with XXXXXX on January 26th, 2011, at 10:30 AM. I am sending you this information as you requested. I am concerned that XXXXXX capped our home at three placements until we had the flooring meeting as described below. She lifted the cap at the meeting after the flooring issue was discussed. We are up for license renewal in about a month and XXXXXX and XXXXX as I think I understand it are in charge of licensing our home. After capping our home over a flooring issue I am honestly upset and deeply concerned that they will cause a problem with the renewal of our license. I am asking you to become involved if the license becomes a problem. We have found a few pictures of the floor damage. I know that there has to be some more pictures in XXXXXXXX files as she was the one who was in charge and gave the approval for the work to be done in the initial stages of this situation. Please call me to let me know that you received this email. We had contacted XXXXX XXXXXXXXX on Monday, 10 January, to remind him that we have a bed available in our home. He stated that there were no available placements other than infants. XXXXXX was told to contact other agencies and inquire about prospective placements. XXXXXX contacted XXXXX on 12 January to advise that XXXXXX wanted to meet with us on Monday, 17 January at 10:30 AM at the Winnipeg office to discuss the flooring issue. XXXXXX informed him that we had three previous discussions with XXXXXX about the flooring issue. XXXXX stated that XXXXXX had requested that the meeting be arranged for Monday. XXXXXX told XXXXXX that meeting on Monday was not a viable option due to appointments that had previously been made for the foster children. XXXXX was asked if he was then refusing to meet. XXXXXX stated that he was not refusing to meet, but that Monday was not a possibility. XXXXXX called back with several date options and the only available date for us was on 26 January. XXXXX then asked him if any prospective placements were available to fill the bed. XXXXX informed him that because he had been “difficult” about meeting with XXXXXX, that a temporary hold had been placed on our home and we would not be permitted to place until after the meeting. XXXXX sent an email confirming the meeting date and time. On 26 January, we arrived for the meeting with XXXXXX and XXXXX was unavailable. XXXXXXX stated that she wanted to discuss the flooring issues with our home. She continued to refer to it as “renovations.” XXXXX made it clear to JXXXXXX that these were not “renovations” that had been made to the house, but repairs for damage that had been caused by a foster child. XXXXX also informed her that the house is only two years old and was not in need of any renovations or even maintenance for daily wear and tear. She stated that we did not follow the proper protocol for damage claims. XXXXX gave her the exact date that the damage claims had been submitted with pictures included, 9 May, 2010. He also stated that he had priced the materials to make the repairs himself at several places and requested an estimate from a flooring place called Carpets For Less. Carpets For Less had stated that they regularly handle CFS damage claims and asked what agency we were with. No written request for an estimate was made and no work order was signed or authorized by either XXXXX or myself. We received a phone call from Carpets For Less a week after the estimate had been requested, they stated that they had spoken to the agency, received approval, and gave us an installation date. XXXXX stated that the agency is not responsible and had advised Carpets For Less to file a legal suit against us. I told XXXXX that it was inappropriate and unethical for her to make those statements to Carpets for Less. XXXXXX stated that the agency could try to submit the claim to the province. The assistant in the room was asked by XXXXXXX if she had any thoughts or anything to add. She stated that she agreed with our position. XXXXXX began discussing the cap on our home with XXXXXXX and I was still discussing the unfairness of this situation with the assistant when XXXXXX turned to me, raising her voice saying, “Enough! XXXXX enough! I don’t want to hear it. This discussion is over, she is my assistant.” XXXXXXXX stated that the cap on our home was now lifted because we had met with her. She gave showed XXXXXX a copy of our foster home budget and asked if it was accurate. XXXXXX stated that he had submitted a revised budget on 18 January via email to XXXXX. She stated that she had not received it and we were to continue working off of the current budget until the revised copy had been approved. There was no further discussion and the meeting ended. Sincerely,
