Did anyone hear about a motion being filed or a hearing being held regarding
these issues?Does it appear strange that two major issues which relate to
possible fraud that most if not all involved in a case would be aware of are
suddenly dismissed?   The subject of federal funding continues to be ignored as
if it doesn't exists, but less known are the mentioned "third party beneficiary
rights". At question here are SSI payments, Indian benefits, and other payments
due children in certain situations. There should be clear records of any of
these payments, and how much the children really received.
   Here again just like the legislatures failure to insist on a financial audit
of DHS we once again see how the subject of DHS and $$$$$$$ appears to be swept
under the rug. The first question I have is did the feds involved on their side
of the funding look into this, if so where are the reports? Or did those here
involved in the lawsuit provide evidence, (or lack of) that led to the dismissal
of these two causes?

Judge Dismisses Part of
DHS Suit

NewsChannel 8 - Judge
Dismisses Part of DHS Suit



Tulsa, OK - A federal
judge has dismissed portions of a civil rights lawsuit brought by a
national child advocacy group accusing Oklahoma of victimizing its
foster children.



In a ruling entered
Monday, U.S. District Judge Gregory K. Frizzell tossed two of five
causes of action brought by Children's Rights, the New York-based
group that filed the lawsuit last year against the Oklahoma
Department of Human Services on behalf of nine foster children.



The two actions
dismissed dealt with alleged violations of the federal Adoption
Assistance and Child Welfare Act of 1980 and third-party beneficiary
rights stemming from that federal law.



Earlier this month,
however, Frizzell refused to dismiss the bulk of the suit dealing
with the civil rights of the children, and gave the plaintiffs until
early March to spell out exactly what type of relief they were
seeking from the court.
