today i had my first homestudy and i'm so glad to have that over with. i was a bit nervous but it was very low key. my rw was very sweet and she said my place looked fine and i felt like she liked me. she then asked who so and so was and i was so taken back. how did she know of this person and why did she pop up in information related to me??? the person she mentioned was (going a little jerry s on you guys,sorry) my biological father's second wifes daughter from a previous marriage. this girl i haven't seen in years and she is a real bad seed to say the least. i am not close with my bio dad but i don't think he or his wife even know where this girl is or have contact. ok anyway, one thing my bio dad has done for me is he included me on his family plan for my cell phone. apparently all about me and my place seem to be fine but because i am linked to her(she is also on this cell family plan) they think we are a family unit and they are worried she may come in contact with a foster child i might be in care of. can i remind you i have nothing to do with her and barely have anything to do with my bio dad but because i am on a phone plan with her it looks like we are connected. she was put on by her mom like i was put on the plan by my father. they are worried it might not be safe for a child because i am linked to her. my rw said she was going to talk to her supervisor again but really!?!?
how could this all be potentially sabotaged by someone that isn't even in my life???

Wow! How did they even know about her? I never heard of DYFS researching a person's cell phone plan.
Honestly, I would not worry too much about it. If it becomes an issue, you could get letters from your family that she is not a part of your life at all. Just a distant relative.
Everyone has some skeletons in their closet. I did. I was very open about it. It didn't keep me from getting licensed.
Good luck.

i have no idea how they got the info about her but the only link i have ever had could be through the phone bill. it was just so weird to even here her name. i was a little scary because who knows what type of things are visable about me and where does all of this info come from. my encounters with this girl have been very limited throughout my life but "big brother" sees everything. i'm trying not to worry because she really isn't involved in my life at all and my record personally is pretty spotless.
thanks!
Get your own cell phone asap!
I find it really weird that they know about the family plan and you are on it and she is on it and have her name etc. and links to you.
I could see a cell number that used to be yours and she is using it now get linked, but separate numbers under a family plan have no link except the bill.
There's probably a simpler explanation for that. I teach journalism and when ai was a reporter, I would use various online programs to check out people's background. They usually list anyone who has ever been associated with the address. That relative probably popped up because of the bill. To the case worker, it could look like someone who MIGHT be living there.
