CA - Hasanni Campbell, 5, Oakland, 10 Aug 2009 - #2

[snoelle1]

The Fremont couple wore T-shirts with photos of the youth, whose name is also spelled Hassani.

I never heard of anyone having two spellings for their name. If someone spells my name some other way than I do, I tell them they spelled it wrong ...

ETA: And wouldn't this just mess up legal documents if his birth certificate had one spelling and other documents another?
​

This is so sad to say, but this may not be uncommon for kids in the system...I've worked with two foster kids who were shocked to learn as adults that the names they had been going by all their lives weren't their "real" names. All it takes is one caseworker to spell it wrong at the very beginning and it just gets passed along wrong from worker, to foster parent, to kid...soon enough you kind of do end up with two ways to spell the name. Wonder what his birth certificate says...

Maybe they didn't feel right about telling whoever made up and gave them those shirts that they'd spelled his name wrong. Since they spelled it "Hasanni" in their flyers and Hasanni spelled it "Hasanni" when he was practicing writing his name, I think it just has the one spelling.

I hope Hasanni forgives me for misspelling his name in all these posts! I was only going by what the media had put out there. :blowkiss:


Also to AWC ~ thank you for finding that adorable photo of him by a tree that you just put on the other thread!! :blowkiss: I was so hoping for one that showed his full face and head.

The modern equivalent to Ellis Island names, I guess.

It is frustrating that I've seen no full shots of him, so I can see him standing with his braces on. That would be useful to the investigation, I think.

Anyone see one of those?

Maybe. But I think there would be a tactful way to say that. I bet the t-shirt maker would have made new shirts.

I wonder if Ross hasn't been adamant about the spelling of his step-son's name because spelling it wrong might be beneficial. Maybe fewer records would show up with a search of "Hassani Campbell" than "Hasanni Campbell"?
It really does seem strange that he hasn't ever said something like, "By the way, his name is spelled Hasanni."
I think it's hard to figure out Ross's motives for anything because he's possibly pretending to be a different kind of person than he is, so no one really knows what part of his words and actions come from Ross and what part from "Ross."

Consider the foster care payments of avg. $450.00 a month for each child, plus as much as $650.00 or more a month in SSI for Hassani's disability, plus slightly above min wage for JC bringing in appx $1600.00 a month and LR's income (computer tech is it?) I think they would probably bring in over 70 grand a year, easy.


my edit: my mistake...LR is a computer programmer...in that case they probably bring in well over 100 grand a year.

I don't get the impression that he is employed, but I could be wrong...he is tending the kids during the day and taking the medical assistant course at night....unless there are some key facts missing here--something LE knows that they aren't revealing to the public.
Plus, LR had that bad record in Maryland with his computer company and the general consensus here is that he is likely banned from the computer business now.

Could he be working from home as an independent computer contractor?

That could also explain the medical assistant course - less money, but more stable and regular pay.

ETA: That having been said, an independent computer consultant without a website would likely be as rare as a one-armed coal shoveler... and I don't think people found a LR professional site, IIRC.

Nothing new

I've never seen CPS remove other children from a home where a child has been abducted. Anyone?

Even immediately remove a child from a family that has had a child abducted?

IMHO when the younger child was removed it was not because Hassani was believed to have been abducted but it was something else they found that we don't know about.

They only time I can recall CPS swooping in and taking other kids is when LE is investigating a suspicious death. I can't recall it for a suspected abduction.

LR must have lost his job after they bought the home. I'm surprised they would have been able to carry such a large mortgage otherwise. I looked for homes in that neighborhood and we bought ours on the other side of the park. Most of these homes are not large or fancy by any means. They use a security company to help keep crime down. Prices are higher in this neighborhood because the neighborhood elementary school is rated a 10. Many people move by junior high to the other side of town where prices are even higher but there are better rated middle and high schools. This child was being sent to a school across town either because it has a special needs program or because the neighborhood school was too full.

I thought we figured out that he was unemployable in the computer industry because of his terrible track record with his own company in Maryland? So he would never have been employed in that field here.... I guess I am basing this on assumptions.

Hello Everyone,
Just popping in to say that I've not been feeling well, but still checking the media & posting it. I'll get caught back up on the thread later tonight or tomorrow.

I am heartbroken that it is day 8 & Hassani hasn't been found! :cry: :shakehead:
I know all of you have been sleuthin hard & have found some info out too....I seen it posted in the astro thread! :clap:

Wanted to let you all know that now LR says he went to the junk yard to look for a part for an older car he is working on. Gee makes me wonder if he's reading here or at other blogs/forums...we all have questioned as to why the beemer would need a part.

Sorry if you all have already spotted this & posted about. Though the article I just posted was the 1st that I read it...unless I missed it yesterday.

raying: that Hassani is found soon!

:angel:

That would definitely explain the change in careers, but I'd think it would be difficult for anyone with blemishes in their background to get into the medical field ~ especially at Stanford Univ., or a large hospital like that. MOO
