After reading all these posts like my experience I felt it was time to come together and find a way to stop Kraus. I created a website called www.stopkraus.com. I will start by saying in his 604B evaluation I was given final decision on everything, including extra-curricular activities. So, if you look at a 604B as a win or loss (which I do not) I WON EFERYTHING. So, don’t let this man pretend all those negative complaints are from people who lose. This man needs to be reported to Illinois Dept of Financial and Professional Regulations, circuit court, and Rush.
I happen to know some doctors from Rush and was warned up front to find a way to get Dr. Kraus removed. As all of us know it is impossible to remove this guy and our son’s GAL, chose him. I can’t tell you how many bills I received from GAL where they were in contact. As was also pointed it out their relationship, whether ethical or not, just does not smell correct. Dr. Kraus, as seems to be in every report is extremely arrogant and I was warned to always agree with anything he says, or he will turn on you. Well as I will document later, I did question him and he was almost violent, to a point I was scared in his closed-door office. Which he is always alone during out meetings in the evenings. His admin was not there, and it was just he and I. Scary to be honest.
Dr. Kraus is one of most incompetent, unethical and immoral people that can be close to a position of determining child custody. As has been mentioned in so many posts he is a scatterbrain. I spent so many hours preparing documentation that he requested on my first visit. He also constantly was asking me about my sex life, wanted pictures, commented over and over about how pretty she is, etc. He asked me over and over to supply same information I already supplied. He even had nerve to ask for them last minute as he already said he was done with report. So really, he was done and now needs information again. He said he lost all this information because he broke his phone. Really what the heck does his phone had to do with these reports. No way hundreds of pages, 3 DCFS reports, Court transcripts from two states, etc. can be read on a phone and who in their right mind saves attachments on a phone and removes from server??? This is compounded with how wrong his facts were in many cases. He had comments made by me reversed by comments made by our son’s mother. Some major stuff he was told by a family therapist we were using where I was physically hit was just missing. Yet he documented comments out of left field, as they say, without any form a proof. He is just incompetent.
Just like other posts, he met our child one time alone for 5 minutes on first visit and one attempt for our son to meet with his mother, that too lasted 5 minutes with our son running from room and nowhere to be found. Fortunately, our son let it be known where he went. He could have ran into major street just outside, this man has no clue.
This man is so unethical. I was asked to find a psychiatrist to evaluate our son. He was adamant to use some doctor that shares an office with his wife. I said to myself “Really”. Last thing I want is a known unethical person to have any control over who I chose for a psychiatrist, let alone someone in his wife’s office. Plus, this person takes no insurance, what a scam. I found a great doctor, in network, at North Shore. I sent a text to Dr. Kraus person I found. He sent a text back saying great doctor, he trained him. After our son’s evaluation, it was determined all our son has is an adjustment disorder. Dr. Kraus did not like his diagnosis and threatened to contact him to change his opinion. I informed Dr. Kraus I had full access to Epic (recording technology from North Shore). He turned on me at that moment. He wanted a diagnosis of highly functional Autism. Well our son has seen a therapist for reunification and one to see what else a therapist does. All these experts made it clear there are no signs of Autism in our son. But to “kiss Kraus’s you know what” I called him to let him know if he felt a study was needed, I would reach out to psychiatrist. BTW his psychiatrist saw no reason for any follow-up. Dr. Kraus said he would recommend him, but he did not think our son was Autistic and told me not worry about that diagnosis. I thanked him. Guess what in his 604B he recommended an Autism study and even self-promoted himself by stating I would be cheap and want to do a study in network. This study concept was immediately dropped after all parties read report. My attorney made same comment as so many people that this guy writes like a 10-year-old and makes all kinds of accusations, without any merit. I speculated he can’t be this dumb and writes his reports to generate more money for a deposition. As far as money bet it will cost 20,000. When I received final bill, I did not pay for a few days, less than a week, and I was getting texts our son’s mother and emails from opposite counsel, that I saw, asking why I did not pay bill. He was all over everyone for his money even though we were months from evaluation. When I came to office to pay bill he said just because it was paid let him know if there was anything else that comes up and he would meet. Something else did come up and he said to come in and bring in $500. I told him it was not important.
He is also incompetent. My son’s mother has several DCFS claims and 2 indications. I brought up there was a safety plan. He asked over and over to produce it even though it was clearly written in several spots in DCFS reports a plan was in place. It is unreal that a man that bills so much money does not know difference between a written and verbal safety plan that is documented in DCFS report. A written one is only designed for short term to protect child until a full investigation can be done. An verbal one that gets documented in report is created after all parties are informed of plan. This can all be found on DCFS website and I talked at length to DCFS people in Springfield. See link. It is in bold that a written safety plan is short term. An oral plan documented, which was in our reports, is what was implemented. Dr. Kraus has no idea how DCFS works and asked me over and over for a written plan and accused me of bringing it up. Sad he is this incompetent. Please read section III in bold at end of section. https://www2.illinois.gov/dcfs/aboutus/notices/Documents/Policy_Guide_2016.10.pdf#search=safety plan
