ANONYMOUS REPORTING

Does someone need help?
Do you need to protect your anonymity, but still let someone know ?

   WHAT TO DO 
 You may write to me anonymously if you have a comment that you would like to make or if there is something that you feel should be reported.  Mail something in an unmarked envelope to me here:
Lora Lehmann
1431 Bryant Lane
Meadowbrook, Pa 19046

You may also call here anonymously by hitting *67 which will block your caller ID .
215-885-0504

 You'd be surprized how many "Township doings" have come to my attention that way.  Thanks to those that have sent .....

Or you can get a separate email  & screen name - from yahoo or hotmail or gmail, for instance . Do not use your real name or address to register that email and Contact Us 

   Then  send us the most information that you are able to about the person, incident, website or situation to help me understand it .   Also, suggest what you feel would be the best way to help.  Do you think the "authoritities should be notified? Do you think a kindness from an anonymous stranger would help.  If someone else is being intimidated and may be scared, please let us know that, too. We will try to help.
And of course - you can feel free to anonymously comment on this site, or our news or if you don't like the sweater I was wearing at the last meeting.

WHAT KIND OF SITUATIONS MIGHT WARRANT GETTING HELP TO REPORT ANONYMOUSLY?

 Neighbor -against-neighbor issues:   If your neighbor has a giant truck  parked illegally and you would like to report it - but don't  want to have bad relations with your neighbors.  If you have grass that is unmowed  or  other code enforcement violations  that you feel are not being handled, but you don't want to be the bad guy....We will find a way to discretely word it so it does not come back to you.

Social networking websites :  While clicking through the maze of links that join website to website in the intricate personal world that these journaling, self-exposure sites have become, you may come across a site that is disturbing.  Perhaps the writer is threatening others or humiliating them, or perhaps you fear the writer is headed for personal harm to himself.   The question "What to do? " rarely has a good answer  because normally you know this person.  And while you know they need help or intervention, you also fear that your personal intervention might make things worse - and certainly wouldn't  be good for  a continued relationship. We'll relay this to the authorities

Reports of abuse of any sort should be handled through the police. If you have not done so because of something  standing in the way - tell me what that is and I'll relay it to the proper authorities or see if I can help.
 

   WHAT WE WILL DO 
  We will try to get  either professional help or intervention, if it is warranted, or will try to notify the parents or other adults, if that is warranted.  Any suggestions that you have as to what you think would be the best thing to do, would be welcome to have, as you may know things we have no way of finding out.

  Your privacy will be protected because of your anonymous email address. If at all possible, please keep the address active & check it periodically for a while , as we may have other questions that you can be helpful with.

   Thank you for caring about a friend.  We are not 100 % certain that we will be able to help, but we hope this anonymous platform will give you a place to turn if you have found no other.

Abington Township, with John Spiegelman in charge, revamped the entire Township website at the end of 2015 and broke all the links to the information we had archived on this site for you.   In 2017, Manager Richard Manfredi arrived and assigned someone not qualified to redo the entire website again. They not only broke all archived links we had reinstated, but made everything as impossible to find as they could. Nearly all of our comments and recommedations to fix the Township website have been wholly ignored.

So we do need volunteers to work together helping the Township create a site that is functional and accessible.  We will be reinstating links as we find them....if the data is still available. So... please let us know if you find a broken link. Send us the URL of the link  and the name of the page it is on, and if we can, we'll reinstate it.
Thanks for the help.
