District V Advisory Board
Meeting Minutes
February 04, 2008
www.wichita.gov
The District V Advisory Board Meeting was held at 6:30 p.m. at the Auburn Hills Golf Course Clubhouse, 443 S. 135th St. W. In attendance were 8 District Advisory Board members, 5 staff and 2 citizens with 1 signing in.
Karen Lippoldt, Youthville, presented on Multi-Dimensional Treatment in Foster Care (MDTFC). The program started in the mid 1980’s. This is the only program of its kind in the Midwest. It is a 6-9 month program with a year of follow up care. She shared a packet of more detailed information on the program; how MTFC is different than other foster care programs; MTFC objectives; What MTFC can offer the community; a cost effective analysis; and contact information. She asked that if anyone is interested in becoming a foster family or knows of a child who may need this care to please contact her.
Ellzey asked where these foster children attend school. Lippoldt responded in neighborhood schools or day schools depending on their situation/ needs.
Brown questioned an earlier comment made by Lippoldt; " We especially like Military families willing to take teenagers". Lippoldt clarifies that they like ex Military families because they tend to be more stringent and less likely to form an emotional bond.
David Dennis asked about what happens at the end of the 9-month program when they re enter into their old environment. Lippoldt responded that they receive a year of follow up care. The children usually return to their birth parent home, long term foster care or become independent due to their age.
Ellzey asked about the ages of the children in this program. Lippoldt responded they have youth as young as 11 soon to turn 12 up to age 18.
Pat Ream asked whether there are female youth in the program. Lippoldt responded that about ½ of the children are females. The boys have an easier buy in to the "rules" of the program and the girls are more stubborn.

School is "Nonexistent" for Youthville Foster Children
http://www.clearwaterks.org/DocumentView.aspx?DID=66
Presentation on Youthville – Foster Homes
Karen Lippoldt Foster Care Recruiter/Trainer, representing Youthville addressed the Council. Lippoldt distributed to each Council Member a packet of information on Youthville. Lippoldt stated that Sedgwick County is in a crisis situation with foster kids. There are an abundance of children coming into care and not enough homes. Lippoldt continued to state that she has been going to Council meetings in all the out lying communities in Sedgwick, Sumner, Harper, Butler, and Cowley Counties trying to get more homes. The biggest concern is the teenagers that live day to day in a different facility. According to state regulations a child can only live in a residential facility for 90 days after that they have to leave and a place has to be found for them. These kids spend their days at Youthville waiting for a home and go from one emergency home to another. For most of the kids schooling is nonexistent. Lippoldt stated that most of the kids want to go to school, want to have friends, and want consistency in their lives. Lippoldt stated that there are approximately 1,400 kids in foster care right now and there are only about 250 homes available, and a home can only have four kids at a time. Lippoldt requested for everyone to think of people that might be willing to try foster care and she stated that she would speak to any group that might have an interest in the Foster Care Program.

If you do not like what is being exposed about you and your corrupt system then do the right thing and stop abusing your power and feeding your ego! We have the right to expose any government entity for fraud, abuse or neglect. You all cannot shut us all up, we have power in numbers.The wind always blows mightily over Kansas as it has for so long, just ask Dorothy. Now the winds of change are upon the dirty family court system in Shawnee County. Well over a decade a Mother in Kansas has fought the court system and its criminals to have visitation with her daughter. Claudine Dombrowski continues to ask the court to follow the custody guidelines for her visitation time. In February 2010 a miracle happened when the Judge actually adhered and allowed the now teenage daughter to have unsupervised visitation with her Mother with no interference from the father. But the continued problems this Mother and Child face is the Guardian Ad Litem for the child, Jill M. Dykes, who wishes nothing more than to keep Claudine from her child. Instead of trying to assistwith fostering a relationship with the Mother, Dykes wants to stay on this case, she wants more taxpayers money to keep her job.Within the transcript of a hearing held in 2009 Ms. Dykes ineptness and bias against Claudine Dombrowski is evident. In the below transcript Dykes continues to interrupt the judge and fervently tries to prevent the judge from allowing unsupervised visitation. Dykes other favorite thing is to submit overtime to the county for keeping a parent and child separated.

Much to the dismay of the court system and specifically Jill M. Dykes this Mother is demanding that the statutes be upheld…otherwise they should terminate her parental rights. It is not something that would be easy for any Mother but perhaps it is the right thing to do, in the best interest of the child and this mother. They have once again started their campaign to end the unsupervised visits. In fact what has been learned by this blogger is that :“if there is any extended visitation time it would evaporate any progress that the mother and child have made.” That is right, you read that right, the court whores are going to make it very difficult for any mother and child relationship. Therefore until justice is given to Claudine and her child, this blog and others will continue to expose the injustices by Shawnee County and those that profit from it. The winds of change are coming Shawnee…and its a BIG one…

Teen's truancy case results in time behind bars
Last Update: 6:46 pm
WICHITA, Kansas -- Ashton Baker was 11 years old when her family took its last portrait together. Now, 15, her life is a long way from picture perfect.
Late last Friday night, police took her from her mother's home and placed her in the Sedgwick County Juvenile Detention Facility. She didn't see her mother again until Tuesday morning at her first court appearance.
"It's hard for me because I see my daughter in handcuffs and shackles for something she never did when you can see all these other criminals walking the streets on parole and probation," said Bambi Baker-Hazen, Ashton's mother.
It all started back in 2008 when administrators at Wilbur Middle School reported Ashton truant -- even though her mother says the school had a faxed notification from the state that she was home-schooling her.
The family's problems escalated when her father reported that she ran away when she went to her mother's house. The state placed Ashton in the Wichita Children's home where she spent 47 days before running away from there.
The case got national attention after Hazen refused to tell a judge where he daughter was.
"I said, 'Okay, handcuff me,' and they did," she said.
Hazen spent seven days in jail. Now, a year-and-a-half later, court documents show Ashton is being held on those original truancy charges.
Baker says since her daughter has a history of running, she is remaining in custody.
"This is injustice at its best," Hazen said.
But victims' advocates question Ashton's treatment.
"We have a right to speak out and when our rights are taken away, because we speak justice and we're concerned about our family and then this level of retaliation is allowed," said Juanita Blackmon with Justice Keepers of Wichita.
A spokesperson for Sedgwick County says the restraints are standard procedure, and even though Ashton's mother has made the case public, they don't feel it's in the best interest of the child to comment.
