“The reports that were submitted in the Evelyn Miller situation suggested concerns expressed by family members, people who had an ax to grind, people whose credibility was a bit suspect. They were looked into,” Vilsack said.

A-ha. Just as we thought. Andy Christie's reports of drug use were discounted because he is her non-custodial parent.

But, there is also this:

[Vilsack] said Evelyn’s mother did everything DHS asked her to do, and drug tests administered in the case came back negative.

How can this be, given what neighbors said about Evelyn’s mother's lifestyle?

Conflicting, definitely. Unfortunately, none of the parties, including DHS, is a credible information source.

In some states, drug use of itself is not sufficient cause for a finding of abuse or neglect.
