LOS ANGELES Musician Daryl Hall is speaking out about his battle with
lyme disease.
The singer was diagnosed with the debilitating disease last year.
Half of the pop duo Hall and Oates says he felt his body "shut down"
during a concert last summer in Phoenix when the symptoms first hit
him.
In an interview with "Inside Edition," the 56-year-old Hall says he had
mixed emotions after being diagnosed.
Lyme disease is caused by the bite of infected deer ticks.
It can cause arthritis, neurological problems and encephalitis, a
potentially deadly brain inflammation.
Early signs include a red "bulls-eye" rash that slowly spreads and
flu-like symptoms.
Hall and Oates are best known for a stream of 1980s hits, including
"Kiss on My List," "Maneater" and "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)."

It has everything to do with child protective services.
They don't have any brains, and with these empty
heads, they decide your children's fate.
Duh.

The entire cabal is about kidnapping and kiddrugging.
That's how they get paid.
$150,000 per year for a kid with "special needs" from
the federal government.
That means they invent the diagnoses.

Duh.

LOL.
Paxilvania.
Brilliant!
I'm going to use it in the Connecticutisms.

Nonsense. CPS is not allowed to go hunting for children. They can only
take referrals. Most come in by phone.

Please cite governmental sources on this information to confirm your
claim
I know the federal criteria for establishing "special needs" status,
and you apparently don't.
The only children that would be subsidized to that level would be a
disabled child. Few are designated as "disabled."
The two are not mutually inclusive. Special needs children are not
necessarily "disabled," though most disabled children that came into
state custody would be designated special needs as part of their
administrative identification.
Do you understand this?
It also varies from state to state, so there can be no set figure such
as you claim.
The ONLY mention of amounts such as that is in setting adoption
subsidies and refers to limits set on families with $150,000+ annual
incomes.
The most I've ever seen for a child with non-disability "special needs"
that is needing more than the usual ordinary care for a child usually
applied to fire setters, children will low level but dangerous health
issues, like an ostomy or trach that needed attending regularly, or a
newborn with with severe health issues, like needing to be on a monitor
and with O2 and or feeding tubes to attend. Even at that it runs in
range from about $2,000 per month to around $4,000 a month for a
severely compromised child.
That means from $24,000 to $48,000 per year max. The top end is rare
and when needed is vital to the very life of the child. Usually the
"foster parent" is a trained medical para or full professional that is
specializing in this population, like a pediatric nurse that 'retires'
and has a house full of severe health risk tiny newborns. They usually
have to hire paras or train their own help and PAY FOR IT OUT OF THE
SUBSIDY.
You, like so many others, think you know a lot, allow yourselves to be
lied to by the anti government anti CPS crowed and just presume to
expetise and do NOT research actual prime sources.
My own prime sources were the foster parents getting this higher
subsidies. "Medical Moms" is slang for them. They are not getting rich,
trust me. The cost of maintaining a true "disabled" child, for that is
what you must mean, is extraordinarily high.
A "special needs" child in foster care means first, they are in foster
care, then they have siblings, then they are over a certain age, then
they are a minority - in most states asigned to "black."
Even then any increase in actual foster subsidy is miniscule. . You are
full of nonsense.

> That means they invent the diagnoses.
Bullshit. "They" don't diagnose. Doctors diagnose, and health nurses
monitor ALL children disignated for "special subsidy." Which is likely
where you are confused.
Those would be the lower level health riskes, or mentally ill children
with high levels of direct supervision required, including often 24/7
monitoring. Which means often the foster parent must hire a night
person. Fire setters especially require more attention, and most of
those children's foster parents cannot even GET fire insurance on their
home, or must pay for much higher premiums.
They are lucky if they can squeeze a few bucks out of CPS and CPS gets
NO higher federal subsidy for these kids.
Show your citations with source, and none of these nutcase phony
baloney anti CPS anti government sites. Show me the government sources
that set the rates and provide $150,000 per child per year.
Come on, you can do it.

Incorrect. Their main victims are the ones ignorant
of the fact that DCF can be used as a weapon.
