As a former employee of Freeborn County Human Services, I have questions about the status of Rose Olmsted’s layoff(?) retirement(?) termination(?).

I was hired as a court liason to work with the Domestic Abuse Program. Rose Olmsted was my supervisor. The Domestic Abuse Program provided 27 weeks of educational groups. Rose Olmsted supervised programs that dealt with children who witnessed violence, victims of the violence and perpetrators of the violence. These programs were run efficiently and effectively and provided a cohesive and unique program for everyone affected by domestic abuse. Why was the Domestic Abuse Program moved to the private sector?

While working with Rose Olmsted, I observed an intelligent, compassionate, capable, articulate and loving individual. Why was her time cut short? Why wasn’t she called back after the layoff in July?

I sense there is an underlying story waiting to be told as to why Rose Olmsted’s talents are no longer utilized by Freeborn County Human Services. Let’s hear the real story!
