The place is Meridian, Mississippi and the alleged crime is EMBEZZLEMENT. I have been covering stories surrounding the leeches that have been involved in the free for all welfare program, created under the guise of "child support enforcement," known as the Title IV-D Program. The program is already stealing from taxpayers by forcing the inclusion of the middle-class and upper-class families in to the program but now there is definitely an upward trend associated with theft from the program itself by the County cooperative contract employees demonstrating a need for citizen oversight. We cannot entrust these employees to manage money, let alone make recommendations to what is best for our children.
Another County employee, this one in Lauderdale County, has been indicted by a grand jury on felony embezzlement charges for allegedly stealing more than $216,000.00 of program money, paid for by taxpayers, by writing unauthorized checks to herself from January 2002 through April of 2007. This employee was released on a $10,000.00 bond, which no doubt was probably a drop in the bucket considering she has already been sitting on the $216,000.00 plus her lush salary.
Just last month we shared with you several other thefts, forgeries, and frauds that are overshadowing the agency that focuses on services to the greedy instead of services to the needy. Agencies across the nation are focusing collection efforts on middle and upper-class families and drowning out the voice of the needy, while apparently stealing some for themselves too.

It's definitely time to cut down this oversized government child support collection service bureaucracy and restore some safety controls to prevent it from stealing from parents, children, and the nation's taxpayers. It's time to shrink this agency back to only providing services to actual needy families, instead of forcing collections from middle and upper-income families at taxpayer expense.
