C',.ase No. 960217, Claudine Dombrowski & Hal Richardson, Jr.

August 22, 2005

Dear Judge Wilson,

TIlis is an update on the above-mentioned case. It is my understanding that a hearing has

not been set however, the mother has been requesting a report by staff since June 7, 2005
to ad~ specific questions regarding her involvement in the program. This report will
attempt to resolve her issues of concern.

Since the previous report of 3-5-05, there have been 26 visits scheduled and 2 visits
cancelled. The visit set for 5-29-05 was cancelled as Rikki was out of town at World's of
Fun; a make-up was not offered as the program had no times available to accommodate
the family. The visit set for 6-26-05 was cancelled as Rikki was out of town on vacation
to Branson, MO.; a make-up visit was given on 6-22-05.

Visits are scheduled for every Sunday from 4:oopm-5: OOpm.Both parties have adhered
to the time lines as outlined by program policy. Payment is assessed to both parties.
Claudine has a zero balance. Hal has on outstanding balance of - $4.00. Rikki is not
usually transported to Safe Visit by Hal but by his significant other. Julie. whom Rikki
I'I:fersto as Julie. Per Safe Visit policy. the parent or an approved alternative party can
provide transportation. Hal has designated Julie as an approved party to transport.

During the visits, Claudine has brought snacks for her and Rikki to share. They continue
to make craft items together ( i.e. sand art, stencils, photo collage) and have talked about
school. summer activities, movies and people they know. Rlkki shares information
openly with Claudine regarding people in her life (i.e. her sister, nephew. grandparents,
and Julie) and daily activities (i.e. room being remodeled. and Indian heritage). Both
parties display physical affection. hugs and kisses with the other. Claudine often tens
staff and reminds Rikki of "memories" ( i.e. pets, games/songs they used to do together)
and special things they did from they past (i.e. watched thunderstorms and collected
butterflies) and learning opportunities they shared (i.e. Rikki at 3 years writing her name
and reading nursery rhymes).
