Therapeutic Fraud
I put my handicapped (cerebral palsy and mental retardation) son in therapeutic foster care so he could attend a special education school in another city. I had to work through a state contracted provider agency to get him his service.
When I went and checked out his placement, it was awful --- very dysfunctional and I pulled him out. He began living with me in that town.
The provider agency continued collecting monies from the state for 3 plus years (just as if my son was still living with them) while we got by the best we could, as I put my life on hold for my son and depleted all I had and all I could get to support us.
Can you help?

You need to report this agency to the appropriate agencies. It won't be an easy task but you will need to find out where their funding comes from, and report the fraud to that agency.
You will also want to contact your legislators and the Attorney General's Office in your state. You will likely get the run around but keep reporting them until you get someone to listen to you and take action.
This is outright theft of taxpayer dollars and constitutes fraud and possibly even a few other illegal acts.
The only way this type of crime stops is if good citizens act to put an end to it. What they did is wrong and they should be forced to pay for their actions.
If you send me more information, I can try to track down the appropriate officials to contact. Without having more to go on, there is no way for me to assist you in obtaining justice for your child.
