The reasons for this have been explained 24in part in the memo to the Court dated August 15, 1990 (see 25 attached memo) . When I interviewed Melissa in more detail upon 26 my return from leave, she explained that she felt that Ms. Lee 27 had treated her unfairly since Mr. Lee had died and that she was ,28 LEE &-WILLIAMS MINORS -2- 1 not getting along with her sister, Patty. other reasons for 2 Melissa's desire to stay with her mother included the facts that 3 her mother gave her a kitten of her own and that she met a 4 boyfriend who lives nearby. 5 Given Melissa's refusal to return to the home of Ms. Lee, 6 With whom she had lived since 1983, Social Services, with the 7 CASR and attorney for the minors in agreement, thought that it would be best to allow Melissa to reside with her mother 9 temporarily, pending this review. The conditions of this 10 placement laid down by Mr. Park, Social work supervisor, in a 11 meeting with Ms. Williams on August 17, 1990, have been as 12 follows: 13 1. Melissa, age eleven, and her younger sister, Angela, age six, cannot sleep in their parents' bedroom or sleep 14 with the parents. 15 2 . Social Service Department will make some unannounced home visits. 16 3 . Melissa is allowed to make phone calls to Ms. Ellen Lee 17 and Patricia. 1 18 4 . The mother, Ms. Beth Williams, will honor Ms. Ellen Lee's calls to Melissa, i.e. , to let Melissa talk to Ms. 19 Lee when the former calls the latter. , 20 5. Melissa may visit with Ms. Ellen Lee and Patricia. 21 6. Melissa will attend counseling as soon as Ms. Beatrice Bers, CASR, or Mr. Robert Ayasse locates a therapist in 22 the area. 23 Ms. Williams verbally agreed to these conditions at that 24 time. 25 VISITATION• 26 Problems with the visitation arrangement began very shortly 27 after the August 16, 1990, court hearing. On August 30, 1990, 28 Ms. Williams requested of me that Ms. Lee and/or Patricia not LEE & WILLIAMS MINORS -3- 1 call after 8: 30 P.M. so that she could put her children to bed by 2 that time.. on this same date I approved a visit on the following 3 weekend at Ms. Williams' home between Ms. Lee, Patricia, and 4 Melissa. Ms Williams also requested to be present while Ms. Lee 5 was visiting Melissa and since this visit was to occur at her 6 home I granted that request. 7 On September 5, 1990, 1 was informed by Ms. Williams that on 8 September 1, 1990, she and-,Ms. Lee got into a big argument after 9 Ms. Lee "tried to drive away with Melissa" , after Ms. Williams 10 would not let Ms. Lee talk with Melissa privately. Later in the 11 conversation Ms. Williams also claimed that Melissa told her that 12 Ms. Lee "smokes a pipe" , implying use of drugs. 13 Ms. Lee admitted that on that visit she was annoyed by not 14 being able to talk with Melissa alone and stated that she did not 15 wish to go into Ms. Williams' home because she feels 16 uncomfortable there. She denied trying to drive off with 17 Melissa. 18 In order to address the problems of contact between Melissa 19 and her sister and Ms. Lee, I arranged a meeting between Ms. 20 Williams,' Ms. Lee, the CASK, and Melissa on September 14 , 1990. 21 The day before that meeting I received a message from the Antioch 22 Police stating that Ms. Williams and Melissa had been into the 23 station alleging that Melissa. had been molested while in foster 24 care. Since the alleged molest occurred in Benicia the officer 25 on duty referred them to the Benicia Police Department. 26 As a result of this information the CASR, Ms. Bers, and I 27 interviewed Melissa about the treatment she had received in 28 foster care. Upon direct questioning about whether or not she LEE & WILLIAMS MINORS -4- I had been physically abused, treated poorly, or molested while 2 living with the Lees, she said she had not been abused or poorly 3 treated, but that she had been molested "a long time ago" by 4 "Brian, Terry, and Lloyd". She said that at different times they 5 each had touched her where she "goes peel' and told her that they 6 would "kill" her if she told anyone. She said that these events 7 occurred while they babysat her at the foster home in Benicia, 8 but she could not provide any further details of what happened or 9 when the molests occurred. When asked what prompted her memory 10 of the molests, she said it came from "the sky" . Melissa also 11 said that she is not afraid of these events recurring and she 12 still wants to visit with Ms. Lee and Patricia. (More details of 13 the molest investigation will be provided later- in this report. ) 14 After discussing the molest allegations and Melissa's 15 feelings toward having regular contact with Ms. Lee and Patricia, 16 Ms. Williams and Ms. Lee were brought in to the room to discuss 17 problems around phone calls and visitation. The phone calling I 18 schedule was easily agreed upon, but the discussion broke down 19 around the details of visitation. Ms. Williams requested that 20 visits be supervised because she was afraid Ms. Lee would abduct 21 Melissa. Based on the fact that there is no prior history of Ms. 22 Lee doing this, or any indications that she might do such a 23 thing, and Ms. Lee' s verbal assurances that she has no intentions 24 of abducting Melissa, the request for supervised visits was 25 denied. Ms. Williams insisted that Ms. Lee should not be allowed 26 visits because she was nothing more than a "foster mother" to 27 Melissa and also that her (Ms. Williams) visits had to be 28 supervised, so why not Ms. Lee's. When Ms. Williams was unable LEE &WILLIAMS MINORS -5- • 1 to persuade me to have the visits supervised she said that she 2 was too upset to continue and warned that she might faint if 3 forced to proceed. I excoriated Ms. Williams for what I 4 perceived to be blatant manipulation of the situation and her 5 unwillingness to behave in a reasonable manner for the good of 6 Melissa,. The attached letter dated September 24 , 1990, was sent 7 to Ms. Williams to confirm what was agreed to at that meeting. 8 Since that meeting there has been no contact between Ms. Lee 9 and Patricia and Melissa. Ms. Lee states that there are frequent 10 occasions when nobody answers the phone between 5 and 8: 30 P.M. 11 and when she has gotten through she is told either Melissa is not 12 there or that Melissa does not wish to talk. Ms. Lee has been 13 unable to arrange any visits to see Melissa since that meeting. 14 Since Ms. Lee was unable to arrange a visit I called Ms. 15 Williams to inform her that I expected Ms. Lee and Patricia to be 16 able to visit on the weekend of September 29-30. Mr. Machin 17 answered the phone and informed me that Ms. Williams refused to 18 speak with me. When I attempted to relay a message to her 19 through Mr. Machin about the weekend vi I sit he told me that there 20 was a restraining order from the District Attorney in Solano 21 County and police in Benicia preventing Melissa from seeing Ms. 22 Lee. I informed him that I heard of no such thing and terminated 23 the conversation after he began threatening legal action, etc. 24 Ms. Lee stated that she was unable to arrange this visit after 25 Mr. Machin hung the phone up on her on September 29 . 26 Ms. Williams has been bringing Melissa to see Dr. Dwight 27 Murray in Antioch. As of this writing Melissa has seen him three 28 times. In a conversation with Dr. Murray on October ' ll, 1990 , he LEE & WILLIAMb MiNuxti -b- said that Melissa has not discussed the alleged molestation with 2 him yet. His report was not available at the time this report 3 was written. 4 During this same time, Mr. James Lee, Jr. , father of 5 Patricia, has been contacting Social Services from Michigan to 6 make clear his desire to have Patricia live with him and his new 7 family. Mr. Lee has sent letters of reference and has said that 8 he will ask for representation at court to petition for a chance 9 to reunify with her. On October 18, 1990, 1 gave him the phone io number of the Public Defender's Office in Contra Costa County so 11 that he may pursue that process. 12 THE CHILDREN: 13 Patricia Lee is now seven .years old and continues to be 14 well-adjusted to her foster home despite the de!ath of her 1.5 grandfather last Spring. She misses her sister, Melissa, and is 16 afraid that she may never be able to see her again. 17 Patty is aware that Melissa has made allegations of being 18 sexually molested by the Lees' relatives. (The Benicia Police ig interviewed Ms. Lee as part of their investigation. ) When I 20 asked her, in private, if she 'had been molested she said that she 21 had not and further stated that she did not think that Melissa 22 had been molested either. She said that she and Melissa were 23 always together and could not think of when or where Melissa 24 could have been molested. Ms. Lee could recall only one day that 25 Lloyd Lee babysat for the children, but added that it was for 26 only a very short time while the children slept. Ms. Lee states 27 that Brian and Terry were never left alone with the children. 28 LEE & WILLIAMS MINORS -7- 1 Melissa is now eleven years old and states that she wishes 2 to remain in her mother's home. She states that she likes living 3 there because she gets "almost everything" that she wants 4 (everything except "real expensive things") and she enjoys being 5 able to play outside and at the swimming pool with her friends. 6 Melissa has not been doing well in school. Her teacher, Mr. 7 Melgoza, states that Melissa has been absent or tardy frequently. 8 He states that Mr. Machin 'often brings Melissa to school when she 9 is late and on one occasion told Mr. Melgoza that Melissa was 10 kept home that morning because it was "truth day" . Mr. Machin 11 apparently told the teacher that Melissa needed to be told the 12 truth now because she had been told lies so often in the past. 13 Mr. Melgoza also stated that Melissa is not -doing well 14 academically and is uninvolved in classroom discussions. He says 15 that she frequently looks tired or ill, often looks to be on the 16 verge of crying when he asks her to answer questions in class, 17 and sometimes does not work at all. He has been patient with her 18 because he was told that she was upset about her grandfather 19 dying. Melissa states that she has been sick often with the 20 stomach flu and has been brought to a doctor about this. 21 Other school personnel have observed Melissa coming late to 22 school and on one occasion Ms. Williams stated that she needed to 23 spank Melissa "as a last resort" to get her to go to school. 24 When I asked Melissa about this she said that her mother told her 25 to go to school, but Melissa said she was sick and didn't want to 26 go to school or to infect other children. Ms. Williams 27 apparently thought that this was a fake excuse and when she could 28 not get Melissa to go to school she called the police. According LEE ,&. WILLIAMS MINORS -8- 1 to Melissa and, later Ms. Williams, the police gave Ms. Williams 2 permission to spank Melissa in order to get her to go to school. 3 A school counselor, Mrs. Park, stated that Melissa appeared pale 4 and felt warm when she got to school later that morning and that 5 she probably did feel ill. All school personnel state that Ms. 6 Williams and Mr. Machin appear frequently at the school to 7 consult with the teachers and school counselor. 8 As stated earlier, Melissa has alleged that she had been 9 molested by male relatives of the Lees' while she lived there 'as 10 a foster child. Since Ms. Williams brought Melissa to the 11 Benicia Police Department on September 14 , 1990, these 12 allegations are currently being investigated by the Benicia 13 Police Department. 'The officer who took the report stated that 14 Melissa was very vague about details, but that Ms. Williams 15 filled in many of the details that Melissa could not provide, 16 such as when the incidents occurred. (See attached report. ) 17 Since the initial report, Ms. Williams reported to Mr. Syng Park, 18 Social Work Supervisor, on September 26, 1990, that Melissa told 19 her that she was, in Ms. Williams , words, "sexually assaulted" 20 through both vaginal and anal intercourse. Since Melissa has not 21 provided such details to anyone, except her mother, including the 22 police, her psychologist, or medical examiners, the molest 23 allegations are difficult to investigate or to substantiate. 24 EVALUATION OF HOME VISIT: 25 Ms. Williams has provided adequate food, shelter and 26 clothing to Melissa and there has been no evidence of physical or 27 sexual abuse during this home visit. Despite this, it would take 28 an extraordinary stretch of imagination to say that Melissa's LEE & WILLIAMS MINORS -9- I home visit has gone well. Ms. Williams has not cooperated at all 2 with the agreed upon method of maintaining contact between 3 Melissa and her sister and former foster mother even though 4 Melissa has repeatedly stated she desires to keep in contact with 5 them. Apparently Ms. Williams is more intent on separating 6 Melissa from the Lees as a way of getting retribution for past 7 wrongs (real or imagined) they may have committed against her 8 than she is in helping Melissa maintain the familial ties that 9 she has known most of her life. 10 Ms. Williams' exaggeration and distortion of the alleged 11 sexual molest against Melissa in contrast to Melissa's hazy 12 recall of those events seem geared more toward revenge than 13 helping Melissa through the trauma. In the same vein, Melissa's 14 lack of ability to recall details of the molests (in contrast to 15 the vivid details she provided when she was molested as a four 16 year old) as well as the fact that Ms. Williams has made repeated 17 unsubstantiated accusations of abuse by the Lees in the past 18 suggests a rather sinister underpinning to these allegations. 19 In the midst of all this turmoil it is no surprise that 20 Melissa is not doing well emotionally. She appears emotionally 21 fragile at school and reports frequent stomach upset which could 22 be psychosomatic in origin. Ms. Williams , response to this is to 23 call the police when Melissa refuses to go to school because she 24 says she feels ill. Besides being an inappropriate use of law 25 enforcement, this response displays a complete inability to 26 either cope with her child's emotional or physical problems or, 27 in the event that Melissa was faking illness, to set limits and 28 consequences for misbehaving. LEE & WILLIAMS MINORS -10- 1 Recognizing that Melissa will be emotionally upset with 2 being removed from her mother's home and that Ms. Williams will 3 most likely do more to increase her trauma than to lessen it, it 4 is only after careful consideration that Social Services is 5 recommending the termination of this home visit. We feel that 6 Melissa's emotional difficulties coupled with those of her mother are detrimental for her at present and potentially disastrous for 8 her in the future if she cbntinues to live with her mother. 9 RECOMMENDATIONS: 10 1. Continue 300 (a) and (d) and dependent children. 11 2 . Return of the minors to parents would create a substantial risk of detriment. 12 3 . Care, custody and control of minors under supervision of 13 Social Service Department for placement in an approved relative, certified, or licensed home, exclusive use 14 home or licensed group home per W & I Code 362 . 15 Patricia placed with paternal step-grandmother; Melissa on extended visit with mother. 16 4 . Costs by Contra Costa County; parents to reimburse as 17 appropriate. 18 5. Continue the permanency planning finding for long-term foster care. 19 6. Social Service to authorize medical, dental, or remedial 20 care, per W & I Code 369. 21 7 . Terminate extended visit for Melissa Williams. 22 8 . Court set six month review, per W & I Code 366. 23 Respectfully submitted, 24 25 ROBERT AYASSE, SOCIA CASEWORK SPECIALIST II, 3C65 26 ONTRA COSTA COUNTY �CIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT 27 28 LEE & WILLIAMS MINORS -11- 1 Service Plan Approved by: 2 ' &I, 3 SYNG PARK, SOCIAL WORK SUPERVISOR II, 3C60 4 RA/SP/kh (a:Lee-Will.Crt #29-90) 5 Read and Considered by: 6 7 JUVENILE COURT REFEREE 8 INTERESTED PARTIES: s 10 Elizabeth Williams, mother, address withheld. 11 James T.
