I am going back to repost this, and the response, because right after I complain about not getting discovery from the STATE, which was, I now know, Caballero's responsibility to give me and not CPS's, and after I complain about Marie Scanlon's attempts to delay visitation, notice what she writes next...which seems to be a Wenatchee pattern: use police against someone else to make THEM look like they've done something wrong and not YOU:

Ms. Garrett, please direct your concerns to the court if you want legal
redress. I will no longer respond to your numerous emails as I am
uncomfortable having continued discussions about your case via email. I
would suggest that you address your complaints to the court by proper
written motion. In the interim, it is your decision whether or not to
visit your son. I would suggest that you do whatever is possible to
visit with your child ... for your child's sake.
I must reiterate that I will not answer your emails. Any further
communication, I ask that you direct to the court in writing.
Cordially Yours,
Tomas Caballero
Assistant Attorney General

I have repeatedly requested discovery from Marie and she refuses to
comply. Not only that, she has lied to me on several occasions, and
gives me no prior notice before I am to see my son, interferring with my
ability to catch a bus to see my son, or know where I am going and where
I will be staying once I am in Wenatchee, when they is no excuse not to
have a room in place ahead of time, with the advance notice they have.
I do not have discovery, and after giving me only an hour to catch a bus
and then miss visiting my son yesterday, she now tells me to hop on a
bus tomorrow morning and find out where my surprise accomodations are
after I'm already in Wenatchee. She has had 2 days to figure out
accomodations and it doesn't take more than one day to book a room.
This is disrespectful to me, as the mother of the child they care "so
much" about, and shows me CPS is not interested in gaining my trust or
respect, but only in jerking me around to jump through their hoops, to
debase me in exchange for a chance to see my son.
I am now filing a formal complaint against Marie, which I held off on
before.
I talked to a private attorney earlier today, as well, who believes it
will be easy to get change of venue. This sort of behavior from
Wenatchee CPS certaintly makes it easier to prove they are not
interested in working with me but in trying to break me down and be
disrespectful.
I will consider whether or not I will take the bus to Wenatchee
tomorrow. As much as I want to see my son, I'm not going to jump
through ANY of the CPS hoops when these kinds of things are being done
purposefully, hoping to antagonize me so I won't see my son and give
them an excuse to say I don't care enough. They are not trying to work
with me and facilitate a reunion with my son, but trying to find ways to
put obstacles in my path.
How would you like, Mr. Cabellero, to take a bus to MY PLACE, with no
money with you and having no desire to be over here to begin with, and
told you'll find out where you'll be staying sometime after you're
dropped off at the curb? Find a payphone, Sir. Do you trust ME with
your accomodations? Where do you think Cameo Garrett would put YOU up
for a night? Oh, and by the way, I just took your kid from you, and
haven't allowed you to see him for over a month.
You people are digging your own hole for removal.
