Paradise Center Scandal Blog Comment Compilation

It is time to do a summary of Paradise Center Scandal Blog Comments from the past 3 days, give or take a few hours.
The comments start with the most recent....

I just got my monthly nami-tc newsletter and very likely due to your expose of this scandal the leadership has scheduled reps from the two Medicaid HMOs to give presentations at this months meeting, which quite a remarkable contrast from previous months when the board and other leaders were pushing Bravo Health as if it were the sole provider in our service area. Keep up the good work because some good things are already coming out of it. The works not finished yet as long as the evil doers are not held accountable for the pain and suffering they've inflicted on Ms. Davis, her family, and her Paradise Center Family.

Man this thing is really like a soap opera, with betrayal, bullying,lies, treachery,manipulation, money, politics, vicious personal attacks and all. Who needs daytime soap when it's all right here.

About "No justice, but try...???" commenter, you are an mhmr shill still peddling the same worn out propaganda and wish: it's over, move on, blah, blah. You're just more subtle but you're still trying to prevent the truth and justice from prevailing. But prevailing they are, though. No matter how hard you wish they do not. The horses are already out of the barn, in a matter of saying.

This is a good idea to have the three day comment summary. Thanks. The Bravo Medicaid thing does smell kind of fishy to me as well. I'm keeping my brother on Amerigroup, a pretty steady and dependable hmo. Bravo was put on a 5-month suspension by the state's Dept. of Health and Human Services until May. Fishy again.

Thank you so much for all your kindness and consideration for people like my sister. Just a couple of quick questions: why is MHMR-TC only just doing these things now? And does this have anything to do with the recent push to get people like my sister to change from Medicaid provider Amerigroup HMO to Bravo Health? What I hear you saying now and in other comments is that these changes are strictly to help the clients and for that reason alone. If so, this is wonderful. But how is it paid for, all the spackling and painting, all the nice New furniture, cable TV, extra 3-5 full-time paid professional staff, and all the new furnishings and improvements outside, etc. Those must add up to close to half a million dollars or so. But we were told that the contract with consumer-run organization Paradise Center was due almost 100% to drastic loss in funding for the agency. I'm just a normal working stiff, but things don't add up or making sense in my average little mind. Maybe you could explain again in an easy to understand way that smart executives like you can.

This chick wasn't absent so much due to her mental health issues. SHE WAS PLOTTING AND PLANNING WITH MHNMR EXECS to take down Theresa Davis AFTER the deputy CEO of Youtube fame failed in early Jan.2011 to force Theresa to agree to their lies about Paradise Center Inc. It wasn't a mental problem for her, it was a "heart" problem....you know the kind that no doctors can help with. Again, the incompetence of these mhmr execs shined through because they believed and put their trust in this woman who had worked so little and therefore knew so few of the members of paradise center and their operational system that she was the slamdunk that flopped once the coup took place. The girl knew only tidbits and even had made enemies of clients and clinic staff over her short time there to make her useless as the "replacement" for the so called personnel issue (big ass lie by the HR chief to FW Weekly and wfaa). The best this chick could offer was partial pieces of personal info about Theresa and her family, both the first and second ones, which were clumsily used to try and degrade and demoralize what some of us in mhmr-tc call the Resistance. That's the explanation for her many absences prior to the coup detat. And her hostile attitude and suspicious behavior that some consumers had noted in retrospect. She was a backstabbing witch..and still is trying now. Sad. We're glad she's being exposed for her wickedness and betrayal. The execs will toss her aside after her usefulness is over. Watch and see. These people operate this way for a very l-o-o-ong time. Too long, really.

As the de facto VOICE of advocacy FOR people with serious mental illness, please help us understand why MHMR's caseworkers have been pushing their clients to switch HMO providers from Amerigroup to Bravo?? Why now? And why Bravo over what appears to be an even better deal in staying with Amerigroup? Should the"local mental health AUTHORITY" be pushing such a one-sided choice of Medicaid Star+ providers? Is there no conflict of interest in this action?

i wanna know how much money in legal bill has been used in issues related to paradise center and this whole scandal. unless the mhmr lawyer works pro bono. if so, say so. if not, how much of our hard earned tax dollars have been spent on this not so sharp lawyer of theirs? that's money that could have been used to help the people that make up and lead the paradise center. damn cowards, hiding like common criminals. use your own damn money if you want to play your damn political games. people oughta storm that damn hulen tower and demand immediate answers. then the damn county judge and those damn commissioners next. damn, i'm tired..and mad as hell at these dang incompetent fools. the wife just walked in, so no colorful words. bye.

How about just demanding public officials act honestly, openly, and ethically. No need for any undercover work or utility of one's, ahem, physical assets and such. Is that just too much to expect?? Especially after my buddies and I had put our lives on the line in defense of the American way of life. And yes unfortunately many of my brothers and sisters in arms are homeless, many suffering from mental illness and substance abuse. I see McDermott's nonprofit 501c3 called MHMR Visions made a big thing about Liberty House in the heart of the homeless area. What I don't get is why locate the facility in such a terrible environment , you know with depressing sights and temptations to backslider? And for all the donations Visions collected, they couldn't get some inexpensive NEW bed linens for these injured heroes and instead asked for used beddings?? That deal with Visions and Liberty House is too similar to how the people with chronic and serious mental illnesses and The Paradise nonprofit was treated by MHMR and McDermott. This dude and his cronies' actions are shady at best.

So, you're not volunteering to be the Erin Brockovich of FW? You could display your, uhm, assets, as she did in the movie, to find out information....or better yet. Why not sign up as an MHMR client yourself? Go undercover, sort of, like the S-T writer who plays homeless once every 5 years. I'm liking this idea, Durango! Who is with me? Durango, FW's answer to Erin Brockovich!!!

Is it just me? ALMOST TEN STRAIGHT YEARS OF ANY KIND OF SUPERVISION OR EVEN ANNUAL PERFORMANCE EVALUATION? ? Holy smokes, SOMEONE (S) SHOULD BE FIRED and any license suspended or revoked for this GROSS MISMANAGEMENT and neglect of a VERY BASIC PRACTICE. Not Ms. Davis, who was likely denied merit pay and other benefits that come good job performance ...in her case it seems like exceptional accomplishment, year after year after year. Forget bullycrats, these are sorry excuses for plain old bureaucratic performance. THESE PEOPLE ARE STILL DRAWING PAYCHECKS??? AFTER THIS DISCLOSURE OF THE FACTS?? UNBELIEVABLE! !!!!!!!

Anonymous, third year law, officer, member of law review. I won't continue, that'd be considered boasting. Most legal issues arose from real life experiences of the people and thus not that difficult to grasp...even for someone like you, with your inappropriate laughter and all. Remember a person can be a lawyer without attending law school or passing the bar exam. I'll let you try to figure this fact out. One fact that's not hard to figure out: MHMR needs a competent lawyer, like a year ago. No worry about passing the bar, more concerned about what level judgeship to clerk for and to move some place where the American Way is still valued and practiced.

Nice try mhmr shill. You WISH the Paradise people (crew if description of Mcdummy and Co.) had moved along. But this has become a much bigger issue than that which affects the nonprofit victim. It is a major public interest issue that is growing in interest and consequence as each day of hiding passes by on the part of the perps and their conspirators. Keep on wishing, mhmr con.

Terry Moore was recruited away from this corrupt county and has been leading the charge inside the Dallas DA's office to free wrongfully convicted prisoners. Not quite the FW Way where scientists brought up compelling flaws on evidence used to pit a father of four on death row. After political game playing with government. Slick Rick, the man was murdered earlier Burnam the state earlier this year anyway, with full approval from the county and FW public officials in the killing of a likely innocent man.

Props to the County Commissioners Court of El Paso for having the cajones to whip their crooked mhmr center back into shape. The Tarrant county counterpart has been neutered by McDermott the sissy butcher. Sad. Especially for the County Judge who seemed respectable enough to be elected President of the National ass. Of county governments. If only his peers knew how McDuhh has got him by the you know what.

Dumb mhmr slave girl is still at it. I have asked Steve to pick up certain items left at my rent houses to donate yo Paradise thrift store or larger items that the many men members could fix up with glue or screws just so they feel productive. I'm an old man so I understand very well these men's need to do something with their hands besides playing pool or table games. This crazy hag doesn't know what she's talking. But yea keep lying and making up stuff because as my parents used to say you're showing your ass when you do stupid stuff like besmirching someone's good name and reputation. Why don't you say good things about yourself besides your awesome. You gotta have one or two redeeming traits. Don't ya, mhmr con?? And learn from your mhmr masters: after they get caught lying so many times these dummies at least have enough sense to hide their cowardly asses. Word of advice, if you don't know what you're talking about then keep your trap shut instead of lying and making up stuff because you only show your ass even more.

ThisLynn person on one twisted soul. Sociopath without a conscience. Not too smart either to launch personal attacks against people by name and without any regard for their health or age. Glad I don't know you and no one from my family has to be around your nasty self. No wonder you 're stick working as a lowly mhmr slave girl. You couldn't cut at a fast food place with your lack of work ethics and penchant for acting out your borderline personality disorder traits.

God and everybody who knows you already know what a two-faced (2x the homeliness! !) backstabbing and lazy excuse for a person you are. You're pathetic, more so now without the patience and support from Teresa, the person your slandering now. You must not have been raised properly to be such a sad excuse for an adult. Have you seen what YOUR wussy ceo do when face to face with Steve or Teresa? Let's just say we only get to see his backside, you know the cold stanky place you've been hiding out the past several weeks. Pathetic.

well look who still has a need to take sladerous shots at teresa's family, the two-faced dark hearted and lazy incompetent b**** herself ms. awesome. you keep on slandering these people and they could clean out whatever money you and your mr. olympain husband have left. off your meds or r your new mhmr masters working your lazy tail too much. no more erratic schedule, claiming your mental illness is acting up, or sneaking off to spend hours checking your ugly facebook crap on your laptop, huh? paradise didn't move out, dumb mhmr bravo tech, you helped that sissy ceo and his incumpetant gals in the coup, remmember, what ru taking now to make your brain this mushy. steve has done more for paradise as a volunteer than all the hours you collected money from taxpayers by writing down you worked, you lazy a*** psycho. that sissy a*** McDummy would be scared to face off with Steve , he was too scared of just facing off with Teresa alone, had to have his weeny lawyer and submissive gals laying in wait. you just be careful with how you talk to those african american people and visitors before your face gets slapped uglier than it is. Zurie says hi. why ru so jealous and hateful of teresa who has saved your sorry a*** many many times over? is it because you couldn't fit in with her professional friends whos's education and experience would make your mhmr girly chiefs look like the tech ur. don't worry about teresa's home (or you should for slandering her)you jest worry about the clutter in your brain and the darkness in your dark heart. you need God in your miserable life because ur in sad shape to act like such a lowlife attacking a innocent child and even a sickly woman in the hospital. not sure God can even help you at this point, your soulless ho. just take your meds and watch your back and any cash because you're working with a hard core x-con, you probably dont even know it because you never around much or think ur too good to talk to people. better keep looking for that missing money. whatever conscennts you have left is probly keeping you up at night. pray and confes your sins instead of writing your hateful and slander against people BY NAME. how stupid can you get? ur awesome all right until those mhmr criminals fire your lazy a** or you crash. UR a pathetic excuse for a human being.

If someone is asking questions about MHMR, then they should start with asking about things like: expense packages for higher ups, traveling to conferences (why to national NAMI convention every year??), unlimited use of blackberry for personal use, just to start. Lots of resentment from the rest of employees who have to complete daily SALS (service activity logs) for every 15 minutes of our time. Do they? Of course not. Do we get cell phones? We use our own. We also use our own vehicles to make house calls. When someone starts asking questions, they should ask why the largest mh clinic in tc has no offices for the rehab case managers. We were all told that OUR VEHICLES would be our offices. We carry confidential client information, as well as clients, in our cars all day long. We can get reimbursed for fuel, but that is such a headache. We already can't get to all of our clients in one week. Some of us have to work Saturdays and evenings. Do the upper managements? Sure, at some conference in Washington, D.C. With their blackberry and per diem for food!!!

What does a community, or even a small group of individuals, do when they believe the public trust has been violated? To whom do we appeal for an investigation? What is the next step, Durango? A month or more of this blogging and still nothing? Seems the Paradise crew are moving on. Can't blame them, really. Gotta keep moving. Waiting for FW or TC to make things right seems fruitless.

The sissycrat and the dumb chick need to keep on running and leave because they're hurting the image and true essence of the agency. And I speak for many rank and file employees of MHMR-TC. Those worthless Trustees need to go, too. They're all disgraces. And yeah, check on how McSissy managed to get onto that multimillion dollar office tower at right about the same time the Paradise Center group got pushed out of the spacious new community center that the siisy and his crew crammed clinics and other offices in. Maybe that's how they've been able to pay for their fancy Hulen Tower.

Somebody does need to look very, very, very closely at this mhmr+bravo partnership because it sure seems shifty and whenever a government agency gets into bed with a private business there's usually some hanky-panky going on. Of course the lies and shenanigens by this shady ceo and his cronies reminds me of the saying about where there's smoke theres fire. I sure smell something burning, don't you??

A friend who works inside Hulen Tower has given Hard confirmation that taxpayer-funded MHMR is involved in an intimate business relationship with profit-driven HMO Bravo Health. Will scan the doc and forward it to the Paradise folks. MHMR and their stool pigeons have been caught in a MAJOR LIE. And yes, MHMR is desperately trying to manipulate their current clients to switch from Amerigroup to Bravo before the 05/01/11 reinstatement of Bravo to do business (i.e. bill Medicaid and generate profit)by the State's Dept. Of Health Services. What's wrong with this picture, folks??

"I read the blog...have not seen where the county comm. or mhmr board have explained the decision"= that's the whole damn point, bud. It's a major public interest story because of THIS VERY FACT---public officials with the duty to explain such a serious matter have chosen to hide and obfuscate rather than EXPLAIN the what's and why's of this scandal. How hard is that for you to understand, buddy? Maybe if the McDummy gang comes in and takes over what remains of the Startlegram and tosses your big behind out into the street then you would get it???

And by the way, your handsome (and likely charming) ceo exhibits many traits of a sociopath. Effective and "successful" sociopaths hide their criminal minds behind such outward suficialities. Isn't that right, the senior citizens and gullible members of NAMI-Tarrant County? We know each other. Pretty well.

Thanks for laughs MHMR con-menter at 04/05 @1:18 PM. Yes, I'm familiar with that infamous psychiatrist, as most people who even pay cursory attention to the news on a regular basis. Now, back to the education of your little mind. You obviously need to learn the difference between a psychologist and a psychiatrist first before we can proceed. Take as much time as your sweet little brain can handle then come back and we'll talk. Took a while but your ego damage apparently has healed enough for you to try again, even using information my 6th grade child could provide about current event. That's progress, nevertheless. I see you also wanted to "scream" in your comment, but held it in long enough. Again, progress for sociopaths or borderlines.

The Star-Telegram Dud is only interested if there's free food around to stuff his face with. So this fuddy duddy's opinion matters very little regarding hard news stories, unless the "hard" part has something to do with the texture of food!! What's sad is that the editors and editorialists like Bob Ray Sanders, who writes frequently about the ongoing injustices in our community, have been shut up during this whole scandal. Give McDirtyMHMRCEO credit for having his bases covered for such a scandal like this. Of course, this bullycrat had not counted on your tenacious blogs or the courageous Paradise Center people and Theresa Davis. The Startlegram, FW Weekly, and other so called journalistic sources are looking as foolish as these crooked bullycrats. Too bad for them.

Fort Worth should be embarrassed because the El Paso Times is kicking the lame ass Startlegram. The Times sure acted like a real newspaper while the local one acts like a small town rag running mostly fluff pieces but afraid to tackle serious public interest stories. We should be scared as well since the silenced free press is a sign of an unhealthy society. FW is a sickly town.

One friend is on the MHMR Visions board and is expressing some serious questions about Jim McDermott's so called 501c3nonprofit, which appears to mostly serve PR and political purposes for the ceo. It's directly under McDermott's control, has two people working full time to solicit private donations, and is used by McDermott to control the County Judge and Commissioners Court by giving them phony honors and creating conflicting interests to shut them up. Something smells about that so called public charity of his.

Well, regarding what was carried in my Steve, Teresa Davis's husband. Alot of "dumpster digging items he brought in to the old Paradise Center, and he would get out tape, etc to try and use it. A few days before Paradise Center moved out, Steve was busy cleaning out Teresa's office. It looked like a "pig pen" in there! Also, alot of stuff was brought out of the back room that peers went through "claiming as their own!" One thing I noticed Teresa let her "select group" get the best out before anyone had a chance to see it. After they went through stuff it was carried out to take to someplace like Union Gospel. They were definitely organized when they moved out. Too bad Jim McDermont didn't see Teresa's office and other areas before they decided to clean. Only God knows what Teresa and Steve's home looks like. At the new Drop In Center clients are treated like Men and Women and not referred to as Disabled Adult Children as was posted on Durango blog at this beginning of this.

Concerned Sister......Just wanted to let you know that the "sterile atmosphere" was due to having everything removed from walls, spackling, and a new coat of fresh paint. The old "Paradise Center" building maintenance was not a high priority so new management is doing alot of repairs and updates. In time, I feel your Sister will adapt. Change is necessary in day to day living. It's now been over 5 weeks since the change of management. There is laughter and people have fun still at the New Drop In Center. The new pool table is a Brunswick Professional Pool Table. And contrary to what people have previously stated it is used from opening to almost closing time. We now have a new "craft room" in the back of our building. Some women sit around and made a list of what craft projects would be fun for our group to do. New outdoor furniture has been ordered. Some benches will be where the ceiling fans are in the shaded area. Also, tables with umbrellas will be a new feature for the smoking section. The back of the building concrete will be poured for a new non smoking section. Also, with tables with umbrellas. Tony, is our new "Manager" and Lynn is his assistant. They make a good Team. Everyone is adapting. I personally feel change is good and people are learning to be self sufficent and not dependent on any one person. The activities schedule has alot of new changes on it. So hopefully, clients will not feel like they are in a rut. Please allow your to Sister to "grow" in her own person. She will "smile" again and also laugh !

There is a distinct sense of superiority, and even racism, from these low life MHMR employees and their incompetent bosses. Is it just me being overly sensitive? "Trash", "ghetto", "classy","right kind of people",etc. ??? Kkk has a chapter inside MHMR-TC or something? ??

You whining losers keep on asking your same questions over and over but you're wasting your time because the all powerful Dr. McDermott OWNS the county government, which includes the county judge, the commissioners court, and the DA's office. Knowledge may be power, but it ain't as powerful as M.O.N.E.Y. And the good doctor has plenty of money, especially with that piggybank called MHMR Visions. Go ahead and waste your time reading this puny ass blog and asking your puny ass questions if you want ...and since you don't have a life. Dr. McDermott and friends are in the clear now, only three weeks left before Bravo starts billing Medicaid,and are laughing their way to the b.a.n.k. Later, losers.

McDermott the wussycrat got the county judge and commissioners to be his lapdogs, even made a fool of the FW weekly's better reporters. Commissioner Roy Brooks was bragging about how easy it was to fool that old hippie weekly writer.

Better not let McDermott and his goons find or they will use their political connection to "neutralize" another good Samaritan in this godforsaken county and Cow crap town. McDermott is a crook in trouble and he's desperate enough to do whatever it takes to save his sissy a***. Good luck, but be extremely careful.
