A press release from the CT DOJ states as follows:
"United States Attorney Deirdre M. Daly and representatives from five federal law enforcement agencies today announced the formation of the Connecticut Public Corruption Task Force to investigate corrupt public officials, the misuse of public funds and related criminal activity.
The Connecticut Public Corruption Task Force includes representatives from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, United States Postal Inspection Service, Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigation Division, and the Inspector General’s Offices of the United States Department of Health and Human Services and the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development..."

I seriously wonder whether DOJ has any real interest in prosecuting family court corruption in this state. The problem is very visible and well known. Judges who are very close to certain family court vendors give those private individuals what purport to be legitimate "court appointments," whether as GAL, AMC, custody evaluator, visitation supervisor, or whatever, and then the judges order families to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars -- usually 100% of the family's available cash -- to those private individuals regardless of whether they are acting in furtherance of their supposed court appointments. In practice, court appointees who are close to judges can get paid for acting completely contrary what they've supposedly been appointed to do. E.g., a GAL who is supposed to look out for the best interests of kids can get a judge to order the parents to liquidate the kids' college savings accounts or even bankrupt the parents. That's obviously contrary to the very reason the GAL has been appointed. And it's pure corruption. But for whatever reason prosecutors haven't gone after this nonsense.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. I am very skeptical of this so called task force. It is probably the same kind of coverup as we are seeing in the so called surveys that declare that the CT Judicial Branch is as the forefront of complying with the ADA or what will result from their next survey on satisfaction levels at Family Court. The whole thing is one big scam. I am on the same page as you are. What I consider particularly striking is that the so called task force doesn't have a specific address that you can write to. What they want is for people to call and identify themselves so they can later be attacked and taken down.
DeleteEveryone who has been victimized by CT DCF should call the FBI Task Force. DCF has no state oversight, accountability or transparency. Perhaps a federal investigation will be useful.
