After a recent chain of events, I was left with no other recourse, than to file my own abuse report against my own children's caregivers at the request of Adriene White, the caseworker on the case, who I tried once again to report the abuse of my daughters. Her answer was to STRONGLY ADVISE that I file a report with 1800 abuse. What do we have case workers for if I have to file the report after speaking with them?
The events that led up to this started a couple of months ago when my daughter was not being allowed to attend band. She was told by the caregivers that she was being punished. She is in marching band, a great girl, 17 and works a part time job after her school day and on weekends. Her band instructor told her that she would be getting a non participation grade that would cause her gpa to sink and suggested she call her case worker. My daughter did so and her band instructor spoke to the case worker, Ms White, whose behavior was repulsive and done nothing but hurt my daughter more, when Ms White, called the caregivers who then called my daughter to ORDER her straight home after school. They took her phone from her and she has not had it since. This is not a phone that the caregivers bought, or even pay the bill to but yet, according to dcf, the police and Ms White, they have the right to take her phone for doing what her teacher told her to do. Great system we have here huh?
OK so I did not make a huge issue over the phone, after all, they are the caregivers and I don't have the right to parent. Since being in that home, my daughter has a nice scar on her lip to show off for the rest of her life, she will need plastic surgery to fix this and this is a nice gift from the caregivers daughter who is an expert in karate. Figures that my daughter was taken out of karate some time ago and then gets chopped by the bully daughter of these people, while they watched I later find out. It turns out that the adult man in the house was also attacking my child which is how his bulldog daughter ended up doing the damage. Someone will pay for this and the state needs to cough up the funds to get her the plastic surgery to fix her lip. OK so at the time this happened I was told it was all an accident but knew my daughter was lying to me. The thing about when people lie, it's never what they say but what they leave out that makes more sense.
The issue with band was resolved after a very heated phone call with Ms White, who agreed with me that education should never be a punishment and the grade was spared although my daughter never got her phone back. As of late, my daughter calls me up very upset over the fact that she is supposed to be at work and she was told that she was not allowed to go. OK to mess with her education is wrong, but to now try to make her appear unreliable on her job is another thing and what sent me off the deep end. I began making calls to Mr Caregiver, early in the day and by the afternoon, he had not returned my call. It was getting time for school to be out and closer to the 4:30 deadline for my daughter to show up at work. At this point my girl was home, being told by Ms Caregiver, that she was not permitted to go to work. It was at this point that I decide to give Mr Caregiver a call on his job to find out why she was not being allowed to go to work. Time was running out and this was a last resort as a number of previous attempts to make contact with Mr Caregiver had been exhausted. I call his job and ask that he be delivered to the phone and his answer as to why she was not being able to go to work was that he was Restricting her activities because she needed more time to do her homework. This was BULLSHIT and I knew it as we are talking about a girl who maintains a gpa as close to 6.0 as possible and has won awards in the past for having a 6.0 and, before I could argue this point he hung up having the final say and disrespecting me in the process.
This set me off as here was a man in control of my daughters live who I had just gotten the truth from my daughter when she said mom, want to really know what happened the day I got my lip split? Of course, yes was my answer and she said that Mr Caregiver was yelling at her and they were teaming up on her, when their daughter jumped in my daughters face and my daughter tried several times to tell her to move and then pushed her back as she was being cornered. It was then the assault was on while according to my other daughter Mr Caregiver was also trying to jump my daughter at that time and they were holding him back. This had me so angry that for this man to hang up on me before I had a chance to give him a piece of my mind, made me call back and leave the message I wanted to give him before he was so rude with the woman who answered the phone at the karate school where he works, telling her that she needed to tell him that he better never put his hands on my daughter again.
What do ya know, finally I get the call back i had waited all day for although now it's past the time my girl is supposed to be at work and his first words to me were, Lady, you have fucked with the wrong person, I then replied, well Sir, yelling it a little louder than normal, I don't know who the hell you are, but my name is Tammy Toole and you have fucked with the wrong persons Kids! He then thought he would take his bully stance, by asking where I was at, I guess he thought he would come beat me up or something so I informed him that I would me all too happy to meet him at the park but make sure he knew that he would not be putting his hands on me because I'm not my 17 year old daughter. Soon as I said that, he hung up as I got in my shoes and headed to the park. I get there and he is not there so I call him back and he uses scare tactic number three, when he said he would be meeting me as soon as he got done speaking to the officer he was speaking with, it was then I noticed a cop looking at me and waved him over to me, and said good, I have my own cop here and you get your cop, come meet me and my cop over here because I'm going to tell him what you have done to my daughter. He hung up again and as of this writing I have not heard a single word from this man. However my daughters conditions have improved and she no longer feels like she is going to get beat up in the house as they know that I'm not going to let that happen. Few things will drive me to the brink of insanity and my kids are one thing. Knowing that a grown man has put his hands on her and mistreated her almost sent me into a homicidal rage. I now have a police officer who I can call personally to discuss anything I'm concerned with.
The officer was surprised that I called in a report, and told me that if they remove the kids from that home that they would be split up and sent into different group homes. Why would this threat need to be put out there? Like one group home can't hold 3 kids? The fear these people put into parents is bullshit but ok at least I have another set of eyes and the caregivers know I'm not playing here.
Ok so my girl still for almost 3 months now is having her phone held hostage but we have resolved this problem and I have given her a calling card that she can use to make her calls with. I guess there is more than one way to kill a cat. As well I don't think they are messing with her job and the calls I get are happier ones.
I have another issue that I must deal with and will be doing so very soon reguarding my sister and the way she keeps wanting to interfear in the lives of my daughters when her own daughter won't even take her grandson to her house for Thanksgiving dinner. I will be putting a stop to her having anything to do with my kids, if her own daughter wants nothing to do with her that's more than enough reason for the state to be concerned with her influence on my kids.
1968 - Born, May 20, In the Wonderful State of Florida
1971-1972, I was molested for the first time by Herbert Holcomb Swisher 11, Heir to Swisher Sweet Cigars. This would last till I was 15 and during this time I experienced things that will shock the readers of this blog.
1976 in just third grade, (hoke) would take a puppy I had named brownie to my school, then come to me to tell me what he had done. He then told me that if anyone asked if that was my dog that he would kill me if I told them it was. This dog found me the next day and followed me everywhere. Several days of my denying the dog, I am told by my teacher after the dog walked into the open door during class and walked right up to me to take it to the office and tell them that this strange dog is following me everywhere. I leave the class, crying begging the dog to run away as I head to the office to do as I was told. I was sent back to class and a day or so later when I was in the lunch room, my puppy comes in right up to me. Everyone freaked and the school custodian Roosevelt Triplet came in with a rope and put it around the dogs neck and carried my puppy out the door swinging from the end of the rope. The dog had mange, and later when I would ask him what he done with the dog, he told me he killed it. He would become the target of my rage for in my youth he had become the enemy. Later I would attack this man who would just laugh as I cussed him, kicked him, pulled his hair, called him names as he carries me back to school over his shoulder after chasing me as I ran from a teacher and insisted I was going home. Mr Triplet was a pastor who ran a small church in Wakulla County, Fl
1985 - My brother took myself and my sister to the police station to turn (Hoke) in for his crimes against us. Our story would be the first story of it's kind to be posted in the small town news paper in Wakulla County Florida.
1989 - Feb 25th I married Samuel Doyle Toole, a man who was 9 years older than me and who once faced a 60 year prison sentence. Once his sentence was run current he walked out of prison after serving 7 years day for day of his 60 year sentence. He had a good heart, was great to his children. When we started having children, I had to stop him from bringing homeless people home for dinner. He would then come home, ask me to make a doggy bag and take food back out to them.
1991 Aug first daughter was born.
1992 Aug, second daughter was born.
1995 Feb, husband has accident that leaves him with TBI.. He never recovered and spent the remainder of his life in a health care facility.
1995 June, third daughter was born.
* Worked with M&M Transit transporting incompasitated passangers from nursing homes, to doctors appointments and home from hospitals after an extended stay. I ran a stretcher van, equipted to haul 2 stretchers side by side in the back. This job had me going in and out of nursing homes in several counties during a time when I needed to find one to place my husband into. The hospital tried to dump him in every slum possible but I managed to stand my ground and eventually had him placed at River Chase Care Center. It would later be told to my children by my sister that I put him in a slum. I knew it was one of the nicest places I went into and after checking the homes ratings still feel that even though a simple decision of where I placed my husband was used to try to turn my kids against me, I stand covicted that he was in a place where his daily needs were being met. It was not a state run home.
1995 November, 11 I was arrested for battery for hitting a man with a boat oar, who jumped my fence and frightened my children. My mistake was being honest with the officer when asked who hit first. I told him I did but was so upset at the time did not get time to explain the man jumped the fence, dropped his cup of booze in my yard and was running at me when I swung on him. After 55 days in jail I finally got a bond hearing and was offered a plea to walk that day. I took a plea because with a new baby at home and a husband in coma this case was the least important thing on my agenda.
2000 June became a widow, when husband passed from pneumonia from complications of long term TBI.
2001 Jan, 6th, completed one year of house arrest and completed the terms of my probation successfully.
2001 April I packed up the kids and the cats and moved to Tampa Bay.
2003 April, the State of Florida steals my children from school during a hard time when they should have helped me, their way was to take the only reasons I had to live for.
