$50,000 (or more)

$50,000 (or more), that’s how much the state is saying they were defrauded by Jenny and Ryan. No, I didn’t add a zero. A different state investigator called today asking more questions. I asked him what happened to the investigator I talked to yesterday and he said they were both working the case. He was trying to physically find Jenny. He said he had left her a message asking her for an address and she had returned his call and left an address but when he went there it didn’t exist. I asked him what the address was and it was something totally bogus, no where near anywhere she’s ever lived. They talked at length with Tony, Jen’s brother. Apparently she has been getting checks between $895 and $1200 a month for daycare made out to Tony since 2006! Tony didn’t know he was supposedly babysitting and never saw a dime! He says he’s done with her. Sabrina on the other hand keeps vacillating between feeling sorry for Jenny and wanting to see her punished for fraud. I have similar feelings as Sabrina. I mostly just want the kids to be able to move on with their lives and not have history repeat itself. Sabrina keeps reliving Jenny being locked in a closet.



I picked Jenny up after Sean’s swim lessons and we went to see Toy Story 3. Cute, but a little scary for a two-year-old. Sean was on the edge of his seat loving it until the toys started heading for the inferno. At that point he said “this is scary I want to go home.” We walked out to the side of the theater and stood there long enough for him to see the toys saved but he was done and we left. While we were in the movie Jenny did a lot of texting. In the car she talked a lot about the people she met in jail. She said there was a really fat woman who hid crack in her belly button. She also read her first book in years while she was there. The first one from the Twighlight series. I couldn’t help but think its good she has fond stories of jail because it looks like the odds are pretty good she’s headed back there.



The saddest thing about the amount of money the state gave them is that they don’t have a cent to show for it. During the time I’ve known them they didn’t have socks, underwear or sheets much less a car with license plates. I guess they did have cell phones, cable, internet, cigarettes and beer! I guess it’s all about priorities.
