My son, Connor, has been denied his rights for over nine months.
Connor is autistic. I am his father, John, Connor's legal guardian.
In July, 2017, I went in for a medical emergency into St. Joseph's hospital in Tacoma. There, they took Connor from me, denying me access to having him in my room but instead made him a medical "patient" under their care. At first, they tied him up and locked him to his bed. Later, he calmed down when they actually had nurses who understood something about autism start talking to him.
Connor, at that time, had decided that he didn't want to be taken care of by me or anyone else. This started when we moved to Kent (Feb, 2017). As such, he got showers once a month, and his toileting was poor. I was working through this with him, but I had started taking diatomaceous earth a couple months prior, and, ultimately, this caused my bowels to shut down. I was eating it improperly, blocking my intestines completely. By the time I realized this was happening, things were dire.
During this time, however, not a single person at St. Joseph's hospital managed to get Connor to take a shower. They had him for three days, and, yet, not a single case (how many people worked with Connor? We may never know) of getting him into the shower. But I'm the bad guy.
A little more than three days later, I elected to leave the hospital. They were treating me horribly, not listening to a d**n thing I said. After regaining Connor several hours later, I left.
St. Joseph's then called the Kent Department of Social and Health Services Adult Protection Services. Four days later, three Kent police attempted to break into my apartment (I got to the door just in time). I let the police in -- I was wearing nothing but a towel, but Connor was fully dressed and being taken care of, like always -- and he demanded, much to their complete surprise, that they leave the apartment. They tried twice to take him, while I just stood my ground, letting them have their way. One of the cops actually made a comment that this is not what they came for. Another cop actually told me that I had taken Connor from St. Joseph's hospital, like I was some bad guy. They promptly left.
Two days later, "LaTanya" showed up. She came into the house, determined that I was unfit to take care of Connor (or myself, for that matter), and then she LEFT CONNOR IN THE APARTMENT. This took all of ten minutes, tops. At the time, I had taken several days worth of Milk of Magnesia to clear out my intestines, as I had completely stopped defecting, which was causing all my other problems -- the stroke, the heart attack, and everything else. I actually had a day's worth of defecation still in my bathroom (covering the floor). She took pictures, along with her pet policeman she brought because, you know, bullies need to have cops for their protection.
Following her departure, I made my way to UW Medical Center, Valley Medical Center, where they let me take care of Connor fully in my room, with a bed allocated to him, too. See, hospitals CAN actually care for the parents of autistic children, but not St. Joseph's. I hope St. Joseph's dies. I hope it closes down. I hope they suffer immensely for all the torture they caused. I hope their "CEO" dies horribly, along with everyone who abused Connor. I cannot state this loud enough.
Now, at this time, "LaTanya" decided that I am unfit to take care of Connor, and, as a result, the State decided that I am not able to be paid for taking care of Connor. Long story short, we went homeless as a result. "LaTanya", Adult Protective Services, all decided that to solve whatever problem he was having, Connor needed to go homeless.
"LaTanya", being a full bully, decided to go after me even more. At the time, I was receiving unemployment benefits. At this time, five months into receiving benefits, the state decided to start requiring that I start "paying back" benefits it thinks I owe it, in spite of having declared bankruptcy. As a result, the $681 I was receiving weekly was instead halved for the last three weeks to $340.50. This didn't actually pay back the amounts it thinks I owed it (I still "owe" a little more than $300), but it definitely made a serious impact on my life. I'm sure the State just "happened" to take notice of this at the same time and "LaTanya" had nothing to do with this, because that's what bullies do.
So, as a result, I lost my apartment and went homeless, and Connor went homeless right along with me. You know, when you have an executive level person "helping" a person by "harming" him, you need to understand that you have a bully right there. Help as harm is the only thing you need to know about what makes a bully. And these folks are State Employees. Don't you feel extra-special knowing these folks are On Our Side?
I spoke to many folks. One of the best was Jennifer Minich, a legistative assistant to Senator Karen Keiser. Here's the fundamental problem. Adult Protective Services, as part of DSHS, is some massively overgrown agency of such stature (the way bullies like to be!) that Karen Keiser, a state legislator, is UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING. Sorry, DSHS investigation, sucks to be you.
I tried to get LaTanya to do the right thing. Problem is, she's a bully. I let her know exactly where I was outside the DSHS office in Kent for many days. Her boss told me that my being homeless was causing the problem, that she only needed to ask Connor a few questions, so we made Connor available for days. Never once did she show up to ask him these questions. I finally left the are when other Kent cops told me to leave the area because there were recent murders in the area and I shoudn't be sleeping there overnight.
At this point, we can assume that the State of Washington is absolutely run by bullies. The governor? Bully. The legistators? Bullies. The judges? Quite probably bullies. The fake "Office of Administrative Hearings" fake judges? Total bullies. They won't even let me see the records on myself because, being true bullies, they prefer to have all these secret records and deny you access to every bit of data they're using against you.
All because St. Joseph's decided that I'm a bad dad, in spite of the fact that THEY couldn't take care of Connor the way they thought I should be taking care of Connor.
So I'm posting my story everywhere now. The State owes me 25 hours a week for taking care of Connor for nine months. They are required to return me to that job, with full time spent going forward, or they owe me the hourly fees I would have made (that's 9 months of 25 hours per week times the rate folks are paid as they increase their earnings -- four rate increases over four years...). They owe me tons more for making me and Connor homeless, and they owe me for having hired bullies and putting them in the Adult Protection Services division. And St. Joseph's hospital needs to be destroyed. You don't make bullies take care of my son EVER. You don't abuse executive level privileges on me or my son.
You made an autistic man go homeless, St. Joseph's and DSHS APS. Your mothers must be so proud (especially of having such bullies in office).
