Glad to hear something is being done about that Tameeka. How she could steal from that lady is terrible. I remember your first story. Is she going to go to jail or what?

Maybe while he was getting the bill passed for mortgage issues, Rob may be working on a future story about Lansing??? Would be a great story & draw alot of ratings, especially if he exposed them in a negative manner that most of Michigan sees. Wishful thinking on my part, Rob. LOL. I have your contact info & I will be in touch soon.

I know a few people who need help with their activities of daily living (ADL's) and assign either family members or friends to be their chore service worker or caregiver through the Dept. of Human Services (DHS). DHS takes the word of the person requesting ADL help that the working relationship is satisfactory.

It's a whole different story when the person needing ADL help has no friends or family who want to help for the stipend paid by DHS. When the working relationship starts from scratch, a trusting rapport needs to be developed.

I am wondering if DHS can screen potential chore service workers/caregivers by checking OTIS or I-CHAT on the internet. Those two sites provide the public with criminal histories of people. Many employers and Housing Commissions use those sites (and others) to do part of a background check on people seeking jobs or public housing.

Hi Rob! I know you do a lot of good and figured I had to ask you if you could help with something. A friend of mine sent this message to me and I HAD to do something about it, and figured I would try my luck with you, since you've done such a great job with the Ed and Frank investigations. Thank you for any help because I'm really worried about these poor animals so I hope you can help. Thank you!

My daughter works with special needs adults, and takes groups of them out for day trips. Yesterday, she told me they went to a flea market called Gibralter Trade Center, and there was a section that sells pets.

As she looked around, she noticed the horrible way the animals were kept. Dogs, which were kept too many per cage, were lying around in their own feces. (She said the bottoms of the cages were wire to allow the poops to fall thru, but of course most of it DIDN'T). There were six rabbits to a small cage that we'd consider too small for our one rabbit that we own. She said the place looked filthy, and the animals looked filthy and neglected.

She said there were signs all over saying "We are not a rescue, we're a family-owned pet store." She wanted to report them to SOMEONE but didn't have a clue how to go about doing this. Any suggestions?
