Here's an ad created 6 years go by another anonymous Berks County blogger.http://www.yearsoftears.org/organizedcrime.html


*** Update: The unit is, as typical, a joke. We had a member call and we spoke to the secretary who transferred the member and put him on hold. Specifically, they need names. Just for the heck of it, our contact started throwing out names. "Oh, so and so? Well, we don't have jurisdiction over that public official. Oh...we don't have jurisdiction over that. Oh, well....we don't have jurisdiction over that either." The phone call went that way until our member hung up. In our opinion, the public corruption unit is just a ruse to pretend that the government cares about public corruption. In reality, you are on your own in Pennsylvania.

CYS Aided Sandusky?

In a news article recently published, it appears that officials contacted Clinton County CYS in order to disparage the mother and the victim of sexual abuse before the report was made.

When Mrs. Hennessy first found out about the abuse from her son, she went to the school and confronted an official named  Probst. Probst didn't take her allegations or those of her son seriously. However, Probst DID call the office to try to undermine the family's credibility. Read an excerpt from the article:

Hennessy and Fisher then left for the Clinton County Children and Youth Services offices in downtown Lock Haven.

“I'm not going to let it go”

— Dawn Hennessy

Before they arrived, Probst called the county office in an apparent attempt to undermine the family's claims. A person familiar with the call told USA TODAY that just minutes before the family arrived, Probst suggested that the office regard Hennessy's claims with a grain of salt, making a reference to Hennessy's volatile personality.

This, according to parents we have interviewed, also happens in Berks County. Individuals engage in covert attempts to undermine the credibility of certain individuals in an attempt to sway cases to go a certain way.
