While Jenny and I had our squabble I told her that if she “didn’t get inthe car I would call the Police and they would make her“, so she calledthe Police for me. Bad move! The officers called the house back after thecomplaint and I told them I was leaving to go shopping. While I was gonethey showed up, knowing my daughter would be home alone. Jenny had madean officer angry the month before because she hung up on the officerafter I called the police to report that Jenny had snuck out past curfewto be with Adam. Officer Wyatt Kasfelt warned my daughter that if shedidn’t straighten up he would “make her life a complete hell”, so while Iwas out shopping this same officer showed up. He took my daughter andplaced her into foster care to teach her a lesson. The following day Iwas visited by Social Worker Karen Arrona. Her and I spoke in the carwhile I went to the store. I overheard her conversation. She was talkingto someone at CPS and said to someone “but I like the Mother”, apparentlytrying to intercept for she probably knew in advance that I was going tobe arrested. Shortly afterwards, Officer Kasfelt showed up at my houseand I admitted to damaging the door. The Social Worker and the PoliceOfficer went outside to have a private a conversation. They were outsidefor a long while. When they returned I was handcuffed and arrested. I wasthrown in jail and given a 100,000 bail. Whew! I had no idea it was acrime to damage my own property. I wonder what the bail would have beenif I had damaged a wall instead! I bailed out, but later on I discoveredthat Karen Arrona’s husband was on one of the Children's non profits. Ialso discovered that the Atascadero Police had a new "youth non profit"that was set up in 2006 and they were being given Grants under the COPand CIS (Cops in School) program. In fact, one of the San Luis ObispoBoard of Supervisors were listed on the Police Departments non profit,which I felt was is a conflict of interest, especially since they laterrefused to meet with me. The Board of Supervisors are supposed to beunbiased and should take parent complaints and investigate. Instead theyblocked me from attending any of the meetings that are open to thepublic, and they refused to talk to me. My daughter told me that theofficer bruised her arm while forcing her into his vehicle. Jenny tellsme she was taking a bath when the officer arrived at our home and thatthe officer wouldn't leave the bathroom so she could get dressed inprivate. Instead, he watched her and yanked her out of the tub,apparently bruising her arm. She was taken forcefully, against her will,without a warrant which is required by law. Later on I met with a femaleofficer named Linda who was present during the removal. She told me thatshe not feel my daughter should have been taken but was instructed totake Jenny, by whom she didn’t say.So this is how CPS came into our lives.I went to court and my bail was dropped. My daughter was returned 5 dayslater. Things were fine at home and Jenny and I were getting along great.There wasn’t any other reoccurrences or fights with my daughter. Over theChristmas holiday’s I rented a limousine for the kids and we stayed in a$300 dollar a night room at the Madonna Inn. We had a nice dinner andwere chauffeured around town so we could view the Christmas lights. Wehad a blast. CPS assigned Social Worker Amy Sensenbaugh to our case andshe ordered Jenny and I to attend "Therapy". She wanted us to have"Separate therapy", which I felt was odd. Amy also insisted that Jennysee a "certain" therapist and my daughter reports that therapist Kristy
