A follow up to A Grandmothers fight Ct Department of Children and Families, it is all about money
CT DCF Worker Temple Retemar working out of the New Britain office who took Guardianship of my grandson put him in one shelter after another. I BEGGED for my grandson, but it fell on deaf ears. I told her he would get into trouble being left on the streets and she, Temple Retemar, told me he has to make his own choices. She NEVER did her job and certainly showed no care about children or family especially concerning my boy. Well, My grandson, who is smart, a football player, a soccer player, etc is now sitting in Manson Juvenile Correctional Facility in CT. Temple Retemar NOW say’s if he has these “charges” dismissed that now and finally now she “believes that Tom is better off to be with me now”.
So why is it that after 2+ years Social Worker Temple Retamar of New Britain, CT feels my grandson is better with me. Well no one can say for sure but it just so happens that my grandsons social security is ending in January of 2012 (my son, Tom’s father died in 08). This truth bending money seeking state employee kept my grandson from me, put him in Riverview, then Eagleton Ma., then to his maternal grandparents house. Now I have nothing wrong with the maternal Grandparents but there is the small fact that the maternal grandparents never knew him on a personal or caring / loving level like I know him.
In 2 weeks, Temple Retemar took Tom and let him walk the streets. I questioned her when my grandson called me at 10pm saying he had no place to go. Temple Retemar told him to call the hot line. (I live out of state) From there I never heard from him. Talk about heartache and a family member’s greatest fear. It took numerous calls and emails for this social worker to finally come clean about my grandson’s social security money. When questioned about all of the money and where it went DCF Worker Temple Retamar claimed it had all been spent on Tom’s living expenses, but this baffles me since he never got the medical care he needed, never got the glasses he was required to have and all the clothes, shoes and amenities like his 32″ flat screen TV I bought for him. She let him live from house to house. Retamar’s only explanation was that he ran away all the time. Retamar has now said that his clothes are in bags in her office and, as for the TV, the “other” grandparents are keeping it for “safeguarding”. It is a shame they couldn’t care enough to “safeguard” my grandson as well.
Tom’s court date is December 20th in New Britain, CT. How I pray I could have a SLEW of DCF protesters there. I am terrified, and, sickened. He is such a great boy, he did not deserve this deceit, lies, corruption and neglect. ALL DCF DID WAS SET HIM UP FOR A HUGE FALL. They stole his money for 3 years and now that he will be turning 18 and his social security benefits will be stopping, so is their care for him. They are ready to just wash their hands of this whole situation and move on to a new unsuspecting family to rip apart for monetary gains.
I could go on and on about what this state and the DCF has done to my family and I but to be honest, I am just depleted. All I can say is thank god I kept all the emails and documentation from this corrupt social worker. It proves how Tom was supposed to and wanted to come to me and, Retamar not only took advantage of me, but Tom as well.
People, if I could ask one favor of you: Please pray for my Tom. He didn’t deserve this. I miss and love him. Please, keep him in your thoughts and prayers. xo
