Dear
In 2020, you ran for office on certain claims and promises. You were endorsed by an employee of Riverbend Mental Health Clinic, where the shooter, Madore, worked, according to earlier reports, as a mentor.
How is it possible that someone with a history such as Madore’s could obtain a job at Riverbend? This points to a larger issue that is systemic in Concord: lackadaisical attention by publicly funded organizations to who gets hired or their backgrounds.
Examples of this can be found at Concord Schools and the hiring of a teacher who had a background of sexual misconduct at SNHU. The hiring of a woman at the youth detention center who had a history of abuse of teenagers. Or the recent incident in the hallway of the NHCADSV in which Donald Sullivan claimed to represent the NHCADSV. NHCADSV claimed he was an off-duty police officer to Concord Police. His LinkedIn, the AG, and St. Paul’s School show he was an employee or full-time contractor at St. Paul’s School. He was moonlighting—apparently a common practice in Concord.
It doesn’t take grants to clean up lackadaisical management. It takes ethics, checks, balances, and an understanding of the possible fatal consequences of not doing these.
As you know, I brought to your attention the issue of witness tampering and a Concord Official/NHCADSV rep’s and prosecutor’s knowledge of this in a criminal trial. But instead of addressing it (witness tampering is a felony-level crime), my concerns were passed off. My concerns about the credibility issues of Concord PD Julie Curtin were also ignored by the AG’s office. My concerns about being cyberstalked by NHCADSV and Amanda Grady Sexton were also ignored.
When you ignore the very real conduct concerns raised by the public, you indicate that public officials simply don’t care about the serious and sometimes fatal consequences that come from ignoring these warnings we provide.
As a result of the malfeasance in the criminal investigation and trial of Owen Labrie, lives have been put in danger for life; there have reportedly been hospitalizations as well of students who were smeared. This is completely unacceptable.
The State’s agencies are failing due to secret deals and lackadaisical attention to ethics. Lives will continue to be in danger until public officials pay attention to the public’s warnings and act accordingly. Lives are more important than budgets, federal grants, and political aspirations, except in Concord, New Hampshire. Why is that?
Kind regards,
Claire Best
