OK, Part 1 is almost standard fare – a government agency (municipality, school district, water district, regional planning commission) decides that they don’t have to answer to Citizens – that we exist for their benefit and aims and it sucks to be us when we keep trying to remind them that the original intent was supposed to be the other way around.
THIS, however, should get all of you to feel your blood pressure soaring and your blood boiling. As long as my previous post was long, this will be much shorter. Kinda short (for me, anyways – Grokster Ed seems to be the Master of Brief lately). And yes, I have permission to put this up – the Mom was in tears this morning when she told me what happened but felt that GraniteGrok could shine a light on this.
I would ask, again, our friends in the NH Legislature take note of this new incident given how much time and effort they have had to put in trying to resuscitate an out-of-control and lost (mostly from overwork – I HAVE to be honest on that) department. But there is NO excuse for what they did:
(Paraphrased with some literary license used to protect the innocent):
As part of the investigation, DCYF contacted her ex-husband which the Mom had pleaded with DCYF not to contact. She didn’t know where he was, didn’t WANT to know where he was, and didn’t want any contact with him at all. She was scared of him and what he might do – again. Why?
He, for years, had abused her in various ways. She was a beaten woman with nowhere to turn and had put up with it for the sake of her children. Until finally, she could no longer bear the physical beatings and the emotional abuse.
She raised the courage to contact an old friend to move her and her very young children far, far away from her ex. That friend drove a couple of thousand miles south, helped her load everything into a large U-Haul and trailer, and skedaddled away as quickly as possible.
She spent years fighting for her children and finally got complete custody of those children. She then spent the next few years trying to find a spot where she and her children would be safe and free from the anxiety of always having to fear the ring of a phone, a knock on the door, or an unknown car parked outside where they lived. She was starting to breathe freely.
She thought she was free. Then DCYF showed up.
I’m not going to get into THAT detail – at least not yet. Keep in mind, however, what I said in another post that I’m hearing rumors (confirmed by several people) that some School Districts in NH are sending DCYF some bogus claims against parents that refused to be passive. Draw your own conclusions but I will be following up on that. Maybe I should (in a literary sense) hook up with Claire Best and do an in-depth soiree into this “government abusing parents” bit – isn’t it bad enough that School Districts believe that THEY own the children and not the Parents (e.g., Transgenderism and Critical Race Theory bastard philosophy of Childism). But I digress.
So with all of that in the background, let me just say that I think that DCYF is going to be in a big pot of boiling hurt over this next bit. Remember, I’m just trying to point a small flashlight on this.
If you think that the missing, abused, and murdered children under their watch were bad enough…
Sidenote: do you remember any DCYF suffering any accountability for their parts in them? I don’t.
Do you know what DCYF did to this Mom?
They found her abuser of an ex-husband and gave him her personal information INCLUDING HER CURRENT ADDRESS.
AFTER she pleaded with them to not do that – several times. They deliberately did it anyways.
She called the police about the papers they had served on her – they were outraged as they said it shouldn’t have happened. She called the DCYF nurse – that person was in horror that they did that.
Saying “SORRY!” isn’t going to be enough.
Neither she nor her husband can believe that DCYF did this. And her ex is a vindictive, revengeful person.
And now he knows exactly where to find her.
I’ll add that both she and her second husband are both disabled military vets (in different ways).
I have to admit, we haven’t been fond of WMUR’s Adam Sexton’s wife, Amanda Grady Sexton (Director of Public Affairs for NHCADSV) in the past here at the ‘Grok. She has done some things that have rubbed us the wrong way so we’ve written about them. However, after listening to this story, this should be right up her alley, and get involved.
I am hoping that our Legislative friends will take some of this on and start asking questions – pointed questions, deep questions, and demanding answers. This should not have happened.
Who will be held accountable, as this could end very badly.
More details coming – this ain’t over by a long shot.
