Blue Earth County Human Services – Mankato

Absolutely the most unhelpful and condescending workers I've ever met. Be prepared for paperwork errors and being treated as less than human. Rude and unhelpful. No accountability for their mistakes and chronic… gaslighting. A total waste of taxpayer dollars.

Trying to get a hold of someone to move to Mankato from a different county. Couldn't even get a voicemail.

This places is awesome got my housed and cared for very well with my PTSD, thanks Jamie and Jess!!

I see posting on facebook by BE employees during the day. Are they getting paid to visit on the internet sites such as Facebook on taxpayers money? Also, about four years back they destroyed our family. They accused me… of abusing and taking money from my mother's account for I was her power of attorney. They got records of my banking account and my mothers. Got copies of checks written to me for 30.00 for mowing my neighbors lawn! After six long months they couldn't find a thing! Got too many in the social system helping friends and abusing the system. They think they know it all. Three years later their employees are spending tax payers money on Facebook during work. Put them to work. It's 2026 and their employees spend must not have enough work. They spend their time posting on Mankato/North Mankato social websites on Facebook. Waste of taxpayers money!

I have a difficult time explaining, but ive been jumping through hoops only to be let down. They call it Blue Earth County, but there is red tape everywhere.......

Great

Always a huge help

My family and I are enrolled into the wic program. While the program is very helpful, the employees aren't always very friendly. Had a few encounters with different people like that. Asking a question, I received a… response with quite a bit of attitude. Just my experience. Hopefully it improves.

Jumped through hoops just to try and get back on GA. My financial worker knows I'm facing Homelessness and still am! I finally got my medical form turned in and she tells me that she has 30 days to process it and I'm… way at the bottom of the pile. My financial worker is Samantha. Relief yesterday, today back to panic attacks.

I would like to receive proper and fair due process. This county took my son from the mother and into the foster care system without notifying me. I hadn't had proper due process since he was born in Dakota county in… 2014 when my public defender ignored all of the evidence I brought which was just to show I was a more responsible person. He kept rescheduling the court cases because she wasn't there and when she did show up they told me we had "agreed upon" custody. I wasn't familiar with the law and believed that meant I have a right to custody when we agree on a schedule and soon realized that I didn't. Dakota and Blue Earth counties sent sheriff's to my house to serve me messages from those counties which contain literature threatening to terminate my parental rights. And in some ways I feel extort money from me. I don't know if there were technical difficulties but my microphone was on and my camera was off and not even acknowledging I was on the call terminated my parental rights. The affidavit I received was a summons about terminating my rights for not paying child support but I was told they were terminated on her behalf before she lost custody. I was informed the zoom call I was on was actually one for the biological father of one of her other children who'd been raising my son that I had been concerned about and that my hearing was apparently held in person at the end of 2020 as well. I wanted and still want a chance to explain my plans and what I've gone through and what I have to do to fairly see my child. Now I'm not being given any further information. When I ask for due process when it comes to my civil and human rights they basically shrug me off and are extremely rude, are condescending act like they are going to hang up on you and basically act like they own my children. Dakota county never notified me that there was an open cps case involving my son in 2014 and posted my name in an online publication during the same period but after I was placed on child support. I don't know what happened with that. I want my children to know who I am and grow up with me physically and I want to guide them in every way and protect them. I will be extremely respectful and kind. I am only concerned with being the best person I can be to be able to be a good character model for my children and I will do community service to show I am responsible and respectful. I am worried about my child and my human rights. I just want to raise my child in environments and ways I experienced that know are positive and I sincerely apologize for harassing the county. I hope things will get better.

Fraud County

They got me off the streets in 2013 and have helped me build a life I want to live. Yes, there's bueaucracy and all that goes with it. But these folks hearts are in the right place and it shows. They actually care about… clients well-being, and can work wonders if you're just willing to meet them more-or-less halfway. If you need help, don't focus on anybody else's problems when you're there -- just focus on your needs and see what they can do. You may be very pleasantly surprised.

When A person(family) are truely in Need of help. Blue Earth County is there to help. The People that come into the building, start screaming because their "needs" weren't met instantly. THAT MY FRIENDS IS PURE AND… SIMPLE INSANITY !!!!!! The County put up BULLET PROOF GLASS, in front of the check in desks. It's A crazy, crazy world We live in.....h Because of all the "Cheaters" in the Entire World,I guess, Now. THE PEOPLE THAT REALLY REALLY NEED HELP, DON'T GET IT. WHY???? The "Fakers" got there first. It's Not Blue Earth County Nor is it B.E. Employees. Doing things WRONG. It's "Politics" & It's " Abusers" of the Systems. This is how this 62 Year OLD Girl, Sees it Today !!!!!
