Freeport Clinic Report of Milas UTI and Inflamed Vagina 27 June 2009
From: Lori Handrahan [mailto:lorihandrahan5@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, August 13, 2009 7:27 AM To: Staffieri, Dean Cc: 'Polly Campbell'; ldevoe@midcoast.com; jmeier@law.gwu.edu; Sweeney, Francis R.; Fawcett, Beth; 'Ken'; Boisvert, Louise I. Subject: RE: Department Decision Dean, Since Beth provided Waxman with a copy of the video of Mila telling kitty, which HHS was not allowed to do, I am requesting that HHS extend a similar courtesy of providing me with copies of whatever documents and testimonies Waxman is using to attempt to influence HHSs decision. I can only assume he is trying (as he has been for over a year) to prove I am an unfit mother. By providing Waxman a copy of the kitty video, even before supervisors at HHS saw this, HHS allowed Waxman time to rebut and influence with his version of events. Thus, he has been allowed undue influence in your decision-making process. This combined with the knowledge that Waxman has been spending a great deal of time at HHS, is of concern to me. Michael Waxman has been very successful at intimidating and harassing people into his viewpoint; his harassment and behavior has crossed many legal/ethical boundaries, which is why the judge granted a hearing to disqualify him from the case. I would also like to know why, after Spurwink called to say this is happening, HHS has not immediately filed a PFA on Milas behalf? Milas doctor called and spoke with Beth yesterday, sharing her concerns, and Beth emphasized to Milas doctor that Igor is only on voluntary supervision and he could decide, at any time, not to have voluntary supervision. Why has HHS not yet taken steps to ensure this supervision is court-enforced and not voluntary?

You have returned Mila to me in the past with scrapes, abrasions, broses, and wounds and never ever bothered to answer any of my concerns about any of them. I will make sure that the judge sees every single e-mail about this. This game of yours is over. Each time you try to accuse me of something perverse and abusive, I will make sure the court sees who you really are.

Jim Beougher Saying I had the right to see the file 22 December 2009
From: Harwood, William [mailto:wharwood@verrilldana.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 22, 2009 11:52 AM To: lorihandrahan5@gmail.com Subject: Ricci and DHHS Below are Larry Riccis recommendations. Not very helpful but everyone appears to agree that we need a vehicle for you to send regular updates to DHHS.
Jim Beougher called yesterday and left a message saying: He will meet with just you and me after Jan.1st. You and I have a right to read the record at DHHS
Is there a way that you can come to Augusta and do both in one day?
Perhaps we could work with Jim to set up a system whereby you can regularly e-mail someone at DHHS and knowledgeable people at DHHS will read the e-mails and decide what if any action is required.
In addendum DelVecchio suddenly uses Daddy when for all other reports she wrote what Mila calls her father, Poppa or Poppi. DelVecchio is suddenly surprise to hear Mila use the word penis. Mila has used it before, documented by DelVecchio December reports. DelVecchio who wasnt surprised then. She suddenly is now? DelVecchio had read Spurwink Report and discussed case with Polly Campbell. She knew Mila had used the word penis with Spurwink. Who asked DelVecchio to write this addendum? She states at the startshe was asked to write this. She wrote detailed, precise notes, during the exam as she always did and suddenly she forgot an entire conversation, one this important, after I left the office with a copy of the original hand-written exam record? This is the only DelVecchio medical record for which there is no original hand-written record. DelVecchio always took precise, careful notes during her exams with Mila. She would give me the hand-written exam report before I left the office. Later these would be typed by their staff. The addendum only exists in a typed form. It uses words Mila never used and DelVecchio never reported Mila using. If violates SAFE nurses protocol. She forgot an entire and radically different conversation with Mila and only remembered after I had left the office with the original hand-written medical exam?
Despards Report. Note he begins with 16 December visits-ignoring totally Oct. reports.
Date/Time: 1/12/10 12:05pm Referent information: Call to the referent, Angela Delvecchio, Family Nurse Practitioner with Cadillac Family Practice located at 322 Main Street in Bar Harbor, telephone number 288-5119, seeking further information. The referent is Milas primary care physician. She began seeing Mila on 10/13/09. The referent has seen Mila three times, most recently on 1/7/10.
Presenting problem: The referent saw Mila on 12/16/09 for a follow up for a laceration to her thumb. During the visit, the referent was gathering information about Mila such as her routines, hobbies and relationships. Mila stated that she visits her father, Igor on weekends. The referent asked Mila what kinds of things she does with Igor, Mila stated "[he] poked me in my gina. The referent asked what did he do? Mila said "[he] put his penis next to my gina. Then she stated you cant tell anyone. The referent asked Mila how it made her feel when Igor did this and Mila stated mad and sad. He has windows in his underwear. The referent asked Mila what are the windows for? and Mila stated to see outside. The referent asked Mila where she sleeps when she is at Igors home and Mila stated in my own bed. The referent asked Mila if Igor wakes her up in the night to poke her and Mila stated no, in the morning. The referent asked Mila if anyone else is at the home when Igor pokes her and Mila stated no, just my daddy. At the time of Milas disclosure, she and the referent were alone in the examination room and Lori was waiting outside. The referent described Mila as appearing comfortable and making good eye contact throughout the visit (including during her disclosure, which the referent found strange). During the visit, the referent visually examined Milas genital area (vaginal and anal areas) and noted no swelling, redness or bruising. .
The referent spoke with Lori after speaking with Mila. Lori stated that this was not the first time that Mila had disclosed sexual abuse by Igor. The referent advised Lori that she would be making a report to the Department and she would contact The Spurwink Child Abuse Program as well. When the referent spoke with Dr. Ricci with The Spurwink Child Abuse Program, Dr. Ricci indicated that Mila was previously evaluated and that The Spurwink Child Abuse Program would not conduct another evaluation unless there was new information or unless Mila presented with physical signs of trauma. On Tuesday (1/5/10), Lori contacted the practice to report that Mila returned from a visit with Igor with a rash on her buttocks. The practice offered to have Mila seen by Dr. Mark Kandustch that same day. Lori told staff that she wanted Mila to be seen by the referent and took a later appointment on 1/7/10. The referent saw Mila on 1/7/10 for the rash on her buttocks. On that occasion, Lori brought Mila in and expressed concern that the rash may be indicative of sexual abuse. Lori stated that she knew the referent needed to meet with Mila alone and left the examination room.
After Lori left the room, Mila stated when I was at my poppis house he put his penis near my gina. The referent asked when this occurred and Mila stated last weekend. The referent asked Mila how the touching made her feel and Mila stated sad and mad. When asked about Milas demeanor on this occasion, the referent noted that again Mila did not appear distressed, rather she sat comfortably and made good eye contact. The referent states that she did not note in Milas record, but the referent did ask Mila some additional leading questions because of the oddness of her demeanor in light of her statements. The referent states that she asked Mila did he poke you with a crayon? to which Mila quickly responded yes. The referent asked did he poke you with a bowling ball? to which Mila quickly responded yes. During the visit, Mila presented with a mild rash on her buttocks, which the referent diagnosed as a contact dermatitis consistent with diaper rash. The referent recommended a low dose cortisone cream to treat the area. The referent did not note any other physical health issues or any signs of trauma to Milas genital area.
The referent states again spoke with Lori after examining Mila. The referent explained that she felt the rash was contact dermatitis consistent with diaper rash, and was not indicative of sexual abuse. In light of the situation, the referent did suggest that perhaps Lori seek counseling for Mila through the Behavioral Health Center. Lori told the referent that she can not seek counseling for Mila without Igors consent. Lori stated that Igor will not consent to counseling. The referent does not know if Lori means that she doesnt think Igor will consent or whether the issue has been brought up and Igor has actually refused to see Mila enrolled in counseling. Though the referent is reporting disclosures made to her by Mila, the referent is concerned with the credibility of Milas disclosures due to her demeanor during the disclosures. The referent specifically stated that she found it odd that Mila did not appear at all upset while making such statements and that Mila didnt act like it was a secret even when telling the referent not to tell anyone about the disclosures. The referent states that Lori has told her that there is a bitter and contentious divorce proceeding underway. The referent states that Lori spoke about the issue in some detail. As you can see from the information gathered in this interview, Angela Delvecchio, FNP has stated that the rash your client believed was indicative of sexual abuse, was in fact, diaper rash. Further, Ms. Delvecchio is concerned about the credibility of Milas statements, both because of her demeanor while making the statements, as well as her responses to simple suggestibility testing (e.g. Did he poke you with a bowling ball?). Based on Ms. Delvecchios conclusions and that the childs statements are the same as have already been assessed as unsubstantiated, Child Protective Services will not be assigning this report for a new assessment
DelVecchios conversation with Lori saying she never said this to DHHS-she believes Mila is being abused.
Mila is a happy, well adjusted, bright and wonderful person. She has the greatest time in her life and is very happy when with me. I have not heard anything else from her school, from her previous schools or her doctors. My observations and the ones from the people around me are consistent with what I just said. I will get plenty of testimonies in writing.
I am asking you to refrain from bringing Mila to any kind of therapy. I am not giving you any consent to do that. Especially since you cant even explain why. I need the name of her doctor that you consulted with and their number! I need you to provide it immediately. I will contact them my self and discuss this action of yours.
Igor is caught shoplifting Childrens Cough Syrup with Mila-10 March 2010

I need to know what is going on with my child and how she feels?
The inhaler you are referring to is not suitable for children, so do not use it! I put the cough syrup we used in her bag yesterday.

I can say that I can predict with a 92% level of accuracy or confidence, that Ms. Handrahan is at extreme risk to be killed or almost killed by Mr. Malenko.
Since approximately 17% of intimate partner homicides of women also involve killing a child, Mila is also at risk to be killed if visitation is not supervised. In conclusion, in my expert opinion, based on findings from a validated assessment of danger in domestic violence cases, I strongly recommend only supervised visitation until the child reaches majority because of extreme danger to Ms. Handrahan from Mr. Malenkov, and by extension serious danger as well as serious risk of traumatic effects to the minor child, Mila.
