Mom transferred to rights to dad 2 years ago through a CHIPS petition. McLeod county CPS has been working voluntarily with the family for awhile (CPS worker Daisy Vinkemeier 320-300-8724). Dad had been doing well up until recently when he relapsed. Dad was admitted to the hospital yesterday at the same time as patient due to medical issues. Due to this, McLeod County has placed patient on a health and welfare hold 8/28 until the team can get to court to take temporary custody of the patient. At this time there are not any kinship options for the pt.
She had been residing at Von Wald 180 Degrees since May. Big escalation on 8/19 and brought to ED. Unable to return to Von Wald; parents are guardians but unwilling to have her in their home (possibly homeless?) and want to terminate their parent rights. Mom is difficult to get in touch with and wants all communication through her attorney.
Comes from Von Wald 180 degrees after being there almost 5 days, due to her statements about “what would happen if someone died here,” and some fixation on the gas stove causing concern that she would tamper and cause harm to many. She is removed from family home and there are complex family dynamics. She is adopted and is the youngest of 6. Adoptive mom is in TCU level of care and cannot care for her, needing supervised visits, and dad is not able to have contact. CPS and MH workers involved. This week she was certified disabled and hopefully a CADI SW will be assigned soon!
