Poverty is being created by the entity tax funded to prevent
it, attention and assistance is needed.
The approach taken by Columbia County Department of Social
Services, 25 Railroad Avenue, Hudson NY 12534 (518) 828-9411 is creating the
very dynamics the missions statements claims to prevent; the result is
separation and extreme poverty that will last generations.
Poverty has become a multi million dollar business. The dynamics are documented in an
evaluation of select services report prepared by OCFS Delaware County, New York
Commissioner William R. Moon in 2010.

I am one of the mothers/statistics laid out in the report. For 9 years I fought futuilely in the
courtroom of Judge Paul Czajka and lost my parental rights in 2005 for;
- Not
acknowledging a “severe mental illness’ 9 psych evals said I did not have
- Failure
to maintain contact during a no contact order
- Failure
to financially plan while in court daily for years and income garnished to
collect ‘child support’
By June 2014 I had $75,000 ‘child support debt’ with a minimum payment of $125 and
increased with interest by nearly $300 monthly. It was not set up to be a payable debt. Because it was labeled
as child support it was subject to collection actions which included 65%,
garnishment of gross income, drivers license seizure, passport retained, bank accounts emptied with fees, tax
liens and piles of slanderous
documents sent to employers, clients and places I volunteered.
As a result of these actions I was driven into poverty, many
dangerous conditions and live with PTSD that is more present that post.
Their father who did not fight for our children and signed
them into county ‘care’ was charge $0.
June 30, 2014 an outside party paid the ‘child support debt’
to allow me to effectively pursue an un-sabotaged income and improve quality that
declined via the process; not a penny of $73,000 ‘child support’ went to my
children but instead to Columbia County Department of Social Services for “repayment
of services rendered”.
Though the payment was finally credited I have been denied
receipt and shortly after calls for Michelle Schmidt began from support
collection in Albany, a name shed when divorced in 2003,.
The agencies set up to protect continue to strip me of civil
rights on numerous levels that threaten my freedom, health, safety, the
possibility of ever being permitted to be fully self sufficient let alone rebuild
something worth leaving my children.
Please help draw attention to the draconian mess that affects
many families.
Thank you,
Michelle Mayer
