#1 there are no criminal charges...rather a "secret file" claiming that so in so has an anonymous unsubstantiated accusation of determined abuse remains on file for 7 years. (probably forever)
#2 institutions end up having rules that serve only the institution.
Many of which may not be legal or even officially exist.
#3 I will pursue this through the superintendent of schools and media in light of the beardedbruce article that showed the long standing need of transparency. All I can invision is that this will be more anecdotal evidence for the need of transparency reform vs. secrecy that only serves an institution.

#4 my incident shows a half hearted attempt of a bearucracy to go through motions that does create more harm for children than good.

#5 the rock and hard place for social services is unenviable. The cases they miss that end up in tragedy has given way to a philosophy of "the needs/rights of the many outwiegh the rights/needs of a few"
as well as the common law standard of 'you may know the charges and your accuser' has been abandoned.


#6 Anyone is one letter or phone call away from an anonymous accusation of sexual, physical, emotional, abandonment abuse that will change thier life forever. I concerted effort to make ficticious charges is not what I experienced.


but if a group desired to make wild claims they are immune from any perjury or false report charges, while the accused has virtually no rights. The accused are even told that they must appear alone (except for a lawyer) for questioning despite the fact the hearing is not a trial.

Police states love this sort of secret informant thing for obvious reasons.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gitmo comes to Maryland. No, but a few fundamentalist nut jobs could do incredible harm to thousands of people with this secret insulated and pre common law system.

The IRS has a similar set up for secret accusers but they go farther...they pay a portion of money if money is collected from the accused to the informer.
