by Judy Aron
Today, we learned that session days can be very long as we toiled over Senate bills from 9:00 a.m. until 7:10 p.m., with time, of course, for an hour-long lunch break. All in all, we slogged through 45 bills on the regular calendar and two more taken off consent.

When Witnesses are Asked to Swear an Oath to Tell the Truth – Democrats Object
Today during a hearing of House Special Committee on the Division for Children, Youth and Families (regarding DCYF), something interesting and (perhaps) wonderful occurred. A recommendation was made to ask those testifying to swear they were telling the truth (under penalty of perjury), and a Democrat objected to it.
Where Is Justice for Harmony Montgomery? Another Failure of PD & DCYF. Why?
by Op-Ed
Adam Montgomery was found guilty on all charges of murdering his daughter, Harmony Montgomery. Some have praised this as justice. There are others who must face trial as well for their own abhorrent failures. Making mistakes is one thing, hiding them is another.
DCYF Double Jeopardy: We’ll Just Ignore That The Judge Canceled Our Case…

“They keep on dragging me back in…” Last week, I reported here (“Night Cap: DCYF Court Case Got “Judge Canceled””) that “the Judge” canceled DCYF:
Night Cap: DCYF Court Case Got “Judge Canceled”
by Skip
Yes, I am still in “semi-retirement” and not writing much, having to take care of TMEW, the Grandson, and the Granddaughter’s needs in a variety of very time-consuming ways. However, I am quite happy to report that one of “Life’s familial responsibilities” has just come to a good end:
Shot Across The Bow – Will NH DCYF Take a Knee To The Biden Administration?
by Skip
I already FOUGHT this battle – NOW I may have to do it again? Crikey! After founding and running GraniteGrok for 17 and a half years, hardly a month has gone by since I announced my [semi-] retirement, yet I find myself at the keyboard again over this nonsense. ”

Was This Class Taught in an Inclusive, Respectful, and Equitable Manner?
by Skip
Years ago, story after story would appear stemming from the developing “outlook” of what Social Work Graduate Schools were demanding their graduates adopt. They kept throwing out students who were either Conservative, Christian, or both, or just not hewing to the Narrative of how the world was to be seen and dealt with by these newly minted graduates.
I Am Returning – Finally. It Has Been Too Long.
by Skip
Steve noted not long ago, (paraphrased): “Notice something missing? Yeah, content from Skip. He’s been missing.” Indeed I have been. In fact, this (I think) is the second time I am saying the same thing but with a modifier: I [think] I am back. And I am glad that I can, again, finally put keystrokes to GraniteGrok.
The Social Worker-Industrial Complex Has Gone WELL Beyond “Dispositions”
by Skip
Well, after almost four months into this “gig”, I finally saw the breadcrumbs I expected to see. Read on! Yes, DCYF is still taking up the bulk of my time as I’m still having to “bird dog” all kinds of details for them (“the Division”) and the last of the School District in getting the … Read more
DCYF – So When You Demand That I Do Something Illegal, I’ll Make It Public. Part Two for Number Three

So, my previous post, the two Right To Knows for demanding the DCYF Organization Chart as well as the DCYF and Child Advocacy Centers’ Ethics Complaint forms, was setting the stage for this.
DCYF – So When You Demand That I Do Something Illegal, I’ll Make It Public.
by Skip
Because that’s what I do. Heck, and it isn’t just singling out that agency – I am a universal hater of folks that either 1) don’t follow their own policies (hmm, I have another set of RTKs to follow up on), or 2) deliberately don’t Follow The Law. It’s just isn’t DCYF – they’re just … Read more
Is DCYF Guilty of Running a Stealth Gun Registry? It Certainly Seems So …
by Skip
I’ve barely been posting much lately because of our latest “DYF entanglement.” While I am not under any gag order (which is usually the case with such Family Court business as DCYF cases), much of our time (TMEW and I) has been spent either taking care of our granddaughter or doing a lot to fulfill upgrades to our home.

Governor Sununu and the Circus of the Harmony Montgomery Investigation Performance Artists

The Harmony Montgomery circus of investigation clowns will never look at themselves. That’s not good enough. The Feds need to come in. But not the Boston FBI, the ones from Washington Field in DC because there is a cover-up.
Know & Tell — NH’s Children’s Advocacy Center — A Shell Organization for PD & Court Corruption
by Op-Ed
The Granite State Children’s Alliance’s label is “Know and Tell.” So I’m going to take them at their word. Know and Tell cannot be distinguished from the infamous DCYF – the agency that ordered an intern at the Youth Detention Center to delete files about the sex abuse of minors in state care.
Are NH Courts Involved in Hiding Sex Trafficking, Sex Abuse by Their Own?
by Skip
Apropos ABA Rule 8.4, I have cited court corruption before. I have brought it up with the AG’s office, with DA Paul Halvorsen of Merrimack County and it has been brought up and is in the record with the United States Senate Judicial Committee as well. In fact, it is part of the reason why former NH AG Michael Delaney was forced to withdraw his application as a judge to the First Circuit Court of Appeals.
