I. Alexis Bodzin[1]

 

The State of Indiana is hereby requested to pay Hospitals & Asylums $50,000 in behalf of Alexis Bodzin, a 19 year old female who was unlawfully restrained at both the Indiana Developmental Training Center and Valle Vista LLC compliments of Montgomery County Children’s Services Ohio Child Support Enforcement 42USC(7)§666, that is being appealed from Hospitals & Asylums v. Valle Vista LLC U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana Indianapolis Division 02-C-0577(T/K) May 16, 2002- September 11, 2002 when she was forcibly and secretly transferred to Indiana Developmental Training Center in Tippecanoe County, Indiana. She was last seen in the custody of her step-mother, the author’s mother, by our Aunt Sheila in California.

 

The state may be reimbursed by fining these hospitals for malpractice insurance and should improve supervision with Poor Relief Administration Yearbooks (PRAY) IC-12-20-28.  It should take no longer than 28 days for a Hospitals or Asylum to respond to such a request from the state of Indiana or any other person with a complete census of their facility and interviews with patients.  Psychiatric facilities are best remedied with Social Services Block Grant 42USC(7)XX, communication and visitation enforcement under 21USC(13)§842B.  Child support sanctions to psychiatric hospitals 42USC(7)IV-D who maintain a policy of non-response or confidentiality regarding the bodies of kidnapping victims to their family 18USC(55)1201kg.  Allowance is mandatory for all poor psychiatric patients who are qualified for Social Security disability funds as the result of their psychiatric diagnosis under 42USC(7)§421.  Institutions are recommended to write a will of their own and pay all of their residents allowance from profits derived from such sources as HMO, Medicaid, Social Services Block Grant, Housing Assistance Program that can be administrated as Poor Relief under IC-12-20 by the county auditor. With some concessions for liberty such as day passes, allowance and compliance with the Law Enforcement Code of Conduct[2], Declaration of Protection of All People from Enforced Disappearances[3], Convention against Torture and Other Cruel or Degrading Punishment or Treatment[4] and Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners[5]

These institutions can be integrated into the county treasury when they can demonstrate that they are competent to pay the poor and release their prisoners to relatives under 24USC(9)§326 and should be competent to pay for transportation under 24USC(9)§329.

 

We pray that the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals will follow the precedent set in Freeman v. Stateville Correctional Center 7th CCA (2000) No. 99-2825 that was successful in freeing Freeman and Constitutional Mental Health Commission v. Pauline Warfield Lewis Center 6th CCA (2000) No. 00-4185 that declared “Peace on Warfield” by changing the name of the 182 year old state mental institution to Summit Behavioral Health,

 

(1)   Upholding the International Declaration of Protection of All People from Enforced Disappearances to release records of Alexis Bodzin.

(2)   Suing the State of Indiana for $50,000 to address the habeas corpus relief discrimination occurring at two psychiatric hospitals under 42USC(21)§2000d.

(3)   Enforcing Indiana Poor Relief Administration Yearbooks (PRAY) IC-12-20-28

(4)   Reviewing Indiana Poor Relief statutes and applying them to reporting institutions.

 

 

 

 

II.                                                    Interstate Kidnapping

Map of the United States detailing the total psychiatric inpatient and residential treatment beds per 100,000 civilian population to mental health organizations by State in 1998.On April 16, 2002 Janet Corson, JD Director of the Indiana Division of Mental Health and Addiction recognized Ms. Bodzin as a habeas corpus held at Valle Vista LLC, a Psychiatric Hospital in Greendale, Johnson County, in a letter.  Linda Dupont, her regional representative, informed us that the hospital would not let the state of Indiana communicate with Alexis Bodzin.  The failure to report is attributed to the written order of Kappie Hickman whose Special Placement operation is being held liable for corporate dissolution in Hospitals & Asylums v. Montgomery County Children’s Services Ohio 2nd Judicial District Court of Appeals 02-CA-0003 by renaming the corporation to Social Program Division and restraining it to the territorial jurisdiction of Montgomery County Clerk RC§2725.03 in retaliation for sending prisoners out of state R.C §2725.25&27.

Alexis Bodzin attempted to commit suicide shortly after being transported to the state of Indiana around the time of the 9-11 bombings from the Middle Eastern owned Oesterlen Services that has been filed as Hospitals & Asylums v. Oesterlen Services for Youth Ohio 2nd Judicial District Court of Appeals 02-CA-0003.  The Interstate Child Custody Jurisdiction Act at IC 31-17-3-1 [6] states as its purpose in A-1, “to avoid jurisdictional competition and conflict with courts of other states in matters of child custody which have in the past resulted in the shifting of children from state to state with harmful effects on their well-being”.  We do not wish Alexis to become another child support death statistic as described by the Family Court Judge Fitzky at the International Conference on Therapeutic Jurisprudence (2002) who confessed, “many children die in custody”.  We pray that the court will grant habeas corpus relief with a trial of the Mental Institution Relative Release Order Request (MIRROR) that will liberate her from deprivation of her I Amendment rights under color of law 18USC(13)§241 ensuring communication and visitation with her extended family who offer her several homes that she may consent to move into as quickly as 2 days from making the decision under 24USC(9)§326. The institution should grant her transportation funds under 24USC(9)§329.

 III. Judge Mental Health

 

Private psychiatric hospitals and state mental institution have become increasingly criticized since the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) began to restore order in the 1950’s by taking the census, successfully reducing the mental health inpatient population from 550,000 in 1948 to 250,000 in 2000.  The state of Ohio appears to have a much more highly developed plan for mental health than the state of Indiana.  Since the 1988 Ohio Mental Health Act the trend has been to promote county control of private psychiatric hospitals and state mental institutions to simplify the transition of the psychiatric hospitals to community centers Hospitals & Asylums v. Hamilton County Community Board of Mental Health Ohio Southern District Court C-1-02-862 and improve access to community based care as directed by E.O. 13217 Community Based Alternatives for Individuals with Disabilities.  Mike Hogan Phd the director of the Ohio Department of Mental Health (ODMH) at the Ohio conference on the Surgeon General’s Report on Mental Health in 1999 stated,

 

“ODMH has consensus to close all state mental institutions and private psychiatric hospitals in favor of community mental health.”

 

The World Health Organization (WHO) seconded the motion in their 2001 WHO Report on Mental Health in slightly different terms, condemning large asylums and psychiatric hospitals that are not part of a general hospital psychiatric ward.  General hospital psychiatric wards tend to honor the short times of Hospitalization of Mentally Ill Nationals Returned from Foreign Countries 24USC(9)§326 that sets forth a 2 day release to a relative that may be extended to no more than 5 days if the hospital appeals to a competent judicial authority this right may not be abridged by the laws of any state.

 

State Mental Institution Legal Education (SMILE) Telemarketing Fraud 18USC(113A), Terrorism 18USC(113B), and Torture 18USC(113C) by psychiatric hospitals create a great demand for the enforcement of habeas corpus class actions to prevent cruel and unusual treatment determined by Heller v. Doe 509 U.S. 312 (1993) and promote the civil rights to vote and contract as ordered by Steele v. Hamilton County Community Mental Health Board, No. 99-1771 (Ohio Supreme Court 10/18/2000)[7]

 

Welcome Everybody (WE) 18USC(55) §1201 kidnapping g (kg): Mothers, fathers, spouses, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, grandparents, friends, children, legal custodians, medical custodians are all qualified guardians who must be permitted to communicate and visit and should be encouraged to administrate wealth equitably by will, trust or class action 24USC(10)§420.

 

Hospitals & Asylums (HA) must uphold the Mental Health Bill of Rights 42USC(102)§9501 Ai, D Ai- Right to treatment that most promotes liberty and health ii- Right to informed consent D- right to refuse a mode of treatment.  Institutions should do their utmost to uphold their patients and prisoners I Amendment rights to writing supplies, mail, telephone, visitors, Internet, reasonable allowance, medical, legal and burial costs for the poor under the Equal Eligibility provisions of IC 12-20-5.5-2.

 

Honorable Institution (HI) courts and state agencies must be competent to provide habeas corpus, “you have the body” relief to upon request of an Application for a Writ of Habeas Corpus under 28USC VI(153)§2243 that sets forth a short investigation in search of medical and legal records of anybody held in a correctional or benevolent institutions whereby the court, agency or individual issues a request for the records of a patient that should be responded to within 20 days whereupon the court, agency or institution may hold a trial in as little as 5 days to determine if release is possible.  Failure to comply with record requests and trial appearance requests in a timely fashion results in the issuance of summary judgment against the kidnapping institution as follows Non-report fine $10,000, Refusal of entrance fine $25,000, Torture fine $250,000, 21USC(13)§842C,B,A,5,6,11

 

Poor Relief Administration Yearbook (PRAY) To ensure that Hospitals & Asylums are publicly regulated and integrated into the community all such institutions should maintain a list of the Names, social security numbers, convictions, diagnosis, date of birth, previous addresses, new addresses and proof of payment of all staff and patients as a public report monitored by the county auditor administrating Poor Relief IC-12-20-28.

 

Alleged Mentally Ill (AMI) are entitled to supplemental security income under 42USC(7)§421 and unobstructed access to community based care close to their family under Olmstead v. LC 527 US 581 (1999).  De-institutionalization creates a demand for class actions whereby the institutions pay daily allowance to permit patients the day without flight risk and county programs to pay for group homes and shelters to reduce hospitalization to the extent that the buildings can be used as community centers.

 

Addicted Mentally Ill  Narcotic Addict Rehabilitation Act 42U.S.C.(42)II§3413 provides for up to 30 days civil commitment for narcotic addicts and 42 months free substance abuse treatment by a psychiatrist and medical doctor in lieu of incarceration.  Diagnosed addicts are eligible for supplemental security income under 42USC(7)§421.

Drug Courts are recommended to relieve the burden on the justice system and it is recommended to seize psychiatric hospitals to integrate short term drug treatment.

      

Children’s Allowance Trust (CAT) 42USC(7)IV-D §666 state child support enforcement is a $19.9 billion market billing former spouses for the care of their children in behalf of the parent or caregiver of the child.  To prevent interstate kidnapping and extortion by children’s services child support funds to psychiatric hospitals should be blocked. To avoid the corrupt services of state child support enforcement it is recommended to settle child support in the bank with a fiduciary account to pay for the children’s allowance and college fund §100 Banking Law.

 

IV. Indiana Program Directives

The state of Indiana has been focusing on community integration of people with disabilities by increasing funding for community programs and closing institutions and developmental training centers.  In 1992 Central State Hospital was closed and in 1997 and 1998 two developmental centers were closed and there are 500 fewer institutional beds today.  Olmstead v. LC 527 US 581 (1999) ensures that the treatment of mental illness occurs in the least restrictive environment within integrated settings in the community and is the foundation of contemporary mental health policy.  There are currently an estimated 74,000 people receiving outpatient treatment for mental disability and 4,400 receiving community services in their own home.  In support of Olmstead in 1999 the state legislature appropriated $37 million to assist 1300 people in risk of going to an institution that year 23 long term patients were released as the result of Governor O’Bannon’s E.O. 00-25 [8].  To implement the decision Indiana’s Comprehensive Plan for Community Integration and Support of People with Disabilities was drafted in 2001.

Policy Directive #1 Consumers have the right to live and work in the location they prefer with the appropriate supports and services.  Individual budgets should be maximized rather then providers.

Policy Directive #2 information on funding and services must be made readily available to people with disabilities.

Policy Directive #3 support the informal network of families, friends, neighbors and communities in that help disabled people as caregivers. 

Policy Directive #4 strengthens quality assurance, complaint systems and advocacy efforts to ensure a quality system. We need to make sure that people are getting the services that they need in a respectful and complete manner and a system to complain about inefficiencies and corruption within the system.

Policy Directive #5 to increase capacity for high quality care by strengthening the service delivery system.

Policy Directive #6 to meet the needs of current and future numbers of persons with disabilities needing supports and services so they can live and work in communities, the pool of workers with sufficient skills and training needs to significantly increase[9].

To implement these directive grants including the Real Choice Systems Change Grant, the Nursing Home Transitions/Access Housing 2001 Grant and the Community-Based Personal Assistance Grant are designed to promote community integration by balancing the administration of funds between community, consumer, family/caregiver and provider support.  Ultimately funding for case management and individuals should make community centers out of psychiatric institutions.

 

V. Poor Relief Administration Yearbooks (PRAY)

 

Poor Relief IC-12-20 offers to bring equality to Social Security in the state of Indiana and is best begun as an allowance program in psychiatric hospitals that can be expanded into a community integration program when they demonstrate competency with records and reports IC-12-20-28.  Poor Relief remains to be administrated and Indiana continues to be reliant upon the Social Security office that often requires the representation of the Attorney General to make their payments.  When trust funds have been budgeted and the hospitals Staff Patient Yearbook (SPY) for the public they will be ready to receive Social Security.  When all Hospitals & Asylums in a specific voting republic have been gathered they can appeal to the board of elections in the township or county to fund the Poor Relief Administration Yearbook (PRAY) in co-operation with the county treasurer and auditor to supplement SSI, Medicaid , Medicare & SCHIP funds with local taxation budgeting for all the poor in the community and promoting literacy through rational basis payment of law and equity 42USC(7)301a-1. 

 

IC 12-20-5.5-2 Equal Eligibility

 

Extends the non-discriminatory administration of Supplemental Security Income 42 U.S. Code Ch.7 Sec.301a to cover all individuals irregardless of age, race, sex, disability, condition of servitude or belief making less than the $740 per month, per capita poverty guidline.  Should an individual wish to work they would continue to eligible until their income was greater than $740 for 6 consecutive months.

 

The Belmont Report. “Ethical Principles and Guidelines for the Protection of Human Subjects of Research” published by The National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research on April 18, 1979 determined that consideration should be given to justice to determine the basis of which burdens and benefits relevant to property shall be most equitably distributed amongst a class action recognized under Title IV Fed. Civ R. 23.   Settlements should be judged on the rational basis of their compliance with the 14th Amendment equal protection of the law to administrate fines and taxation to alleviate the burdensome 8th Amendment Prohibition of  cruel and unusual punishment in co-operation with legislative administration of Welfare under Article 1 Sec. 8 of the U.S. Constitution to ensure…

 

(1) to each person an equal share,

(2) to each person according to individual need,

(3) to each person according to individual effort,

(4) to each person according to societal contribution, and

(5) to each person according to merit.

(7)   The total number of job placements found for poor relief recipients    

(8)   The total amount of reimbursement for assistance received from medical programs under IC 12-20-16-2(e).


Legislative footnote: We pray that the state of Indiana will make two amendments to IC-12-20.  The first must recognize the responsibility of the county auditor to supervise all Poor Relief and Social Security funding to all Hospitals & Asylums in the county.  The second must recognize the responsibility of Hospitals & Asylums to report their census to the public if they want to be qualified for tax dollars and are reimbursed by the county to pay poor people residing in them a reasonable allowance and access to the Housing Assistance Program.
