How THSC’s Intervention Helped the Kahn Family



In November 2016, THSC member Kathleen Kahn reached out to our office about a notice she received from the SSA (Social Security Administration) office in League City, Texas. The SSA informed her that the benefits for her son, Adrian, were completely stopped because he turned 18 that same month. However, this does not comply with SSA and Texas home school policies.

In April 2016, a THSC member called THSC about an issue her daughter had with admission at Sam Houston State University (SHSU). Although her SAT scores were above the minimum score accepted by the university for regular students, SHSU told the member’s daughter that home schoolers were required to have higher standardized test scores than their public school counterparts.

Following a productive meeting and correspondence with Department of Family Protective Services (DFPS) Commissioner Henry Whitman, Jr., THSC was able to prevent CPS from overstepping its authority.

Not long ago, THSC was contacted by an Odessa home school parent who had been told by a CPS caseworker that she and her husband must stop home schooling and enroll their child in public school. The child’s father began gathering his daughter’s personal records, while Mom placed a call to THSC.
