Greene County Children Services

"AS A FOSTER PARENT I WAS DISCRIMINATED AGAINST AND TALKED DOWN TO. BY JOSH COOMER AND PAT YHE SUPERVISOR UNDER HIM. NIETHER OF THEM LISTEN TO ANYTHING I HAD TO SAY. From the very beginning of the call with each of them they came off as rude and had a judgmental and discriminatory tone towards me. My issues was not resolved and was told my complaint wouldn’t go anywhere because I’m not a customer of Greene county children services. I asked Josh for his administrator number and said he will have them call me which I don’t believe. I have filed a complaint with the Ohio youth ombudsman and will be filing a complaint against them with the governor’s office. They should not be allowed to treat ppl of color the way that they did with me. I cried after speaking with both supervisors because of how I was treated. If they can’t treat a licensed foster parent this way imagine how they treat kids of color in their care."

"This agency single hand idly killed the respect I had for “ government enforcement “. I despise this place and everyone in it that helped kidnap and rob my child of over half of her extended family. They are not here to help. They will lie to your face and string you along with the hope that there is still time. DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR TO THEM. DO NOT CONSENT TO A PLAN. DONT EVER TALK TO THEM WITHOUT A LAWYER. Please I do not wish any one else’s child to grow up this way."

"If I could leave no stars I would. One sided from the start. False accusations, slander, nasty voicemails, no proof of anything and still blind enough to not look into the facts and truth. I’m surprised this organization does not have more civil law suits for defamation of character!!"

"During this entire process with my grandson, they have been kind and supportive to both me, as the temporary custodian of my grandbaby and his mother, my daughter. I have heard horror stories about children services over the years but I feel like this county does a great job. They care about all of us effected in this situation and truly wanted my daughter to succeed in her recovery and were very supportive of that process. We unfortunately had 3 different caseworkers throughout but they were all very kind and respectful. They have a difficult job and a lot of cases but I never felt that they didn't care or didn't have time for us when we had questions or concerns."

"Dealt with what may have been the most incompetent case worker I've ever met. Was spoken to in a discriminatory manner by one of the staff members. If you stand up for your rights or challenge the status quo, expect to be met with rudeness and unfair treatment."
