Texas’s food stamp program suffered through a disastrous privatization effort between the State and Accenture, LLC, headquartered in Dublin, Ireland and born of Arthur Anderson, which in turn was brought down by its actions in the Enron outrage. Texas was ranked as having the “worst performing food stamp program in the nation,” by the Federal Government, in part because of their “time-consuming and complicated assets test that impedes the effort to help desperate and hungry people.”
In June, 2010, Rachelle Grimmer walked into a Corpus Christi police station and filed a report alleging that her ex-husband was affiliated with the KKK and a gang known as MS13 and that members of those groups were stalking her. As she spoke to an officer it was noted that Ms. Grimmer, became more edgy and paranoid, she refused to believe the uniformed deputy taking the report was really a police officer and became abusive when the officer asked to see her drivers license.
The deputy wrote in the report that it was that Ms. Grimmer, may be mentally challenged, and noted concern for the children due to their mothers obvious mental issues, but that concern apparently wasnt acted upon.
Later in 2010, Rachelle Grimmer and her children were found living in a tent on a beach in Corpus Christi, Texas. Authorities investigated after receiving calls from people concerned about the children. Kleberg County Deputy Sherriff, Robert Wright, was dispatched to investigate but Rachelle Grimmer convinced him that she and her children were vacationing from New York and taking part in, a learning experience.
Grimmer showed Officer Wright a small cooler full of bread and sandwich meat along with $700 in food stamps from Ohio and told him she received $500 a month in child support. She told him the children bathed in the bay and cleaned up at a local gas station. She also had a gun which she claimed she had for personal protection while traveling.
Officer Wright gave the gun back to Rachelle Grimmer and reported the situation to the local child welfare office who sent an investigator out to the campsite the very next day. Grimmer told the investigator that she and the children were vacationing from Ohio and the investigator found no cause for further concern.
