    I am a grandfather that has been struggling against DHR Child services for around 5 years now, for my Granddaughters. This is our very long story, but for anyone currently dealing with this Monster this is a MUST Read, because I have uncovered Major information that i believe will help Families get their Children back, and Reestablish our GOD given Rights as Americans!
    In March 2019 my Son and Daughter in Law (DIL) were both addicted to Meth, and have 2 Daughters together (DIL) made an Accusation about me concerning the Children, a couple Months earlier I had assumed their bills, and also cleaned their Apartment that was across the Hall, and essentially took over, and they were not at all happy about the New order. I was providing about a third of the kids care at that point. I had also made several Reports to Deputy Grimes of the Barbour Sheriff’s office, to document some events that had concerned me for the kids.
    After dark one evening 3 Cars pull up(2 Patrol 1 DHR SW), and start asking questions, my inner thoughts at the time were that I finally had help in keeping the kids safe (naive) I was the only one home and I told them where the kids were of course. All they would tell me at the time was that one of my Granddaughters had been abused. I was completely devastated and at the time had no idea who was being Accused, so my mind naturally went all over the place. They left me in this mental state for 3-4 weeks, I was in a mental fog as if a Loved one had passed away, but worse. I remember walking into public and fighting back tears until I could exit quickly to cry. After about a month I was contacted by phone to come to Barbour County SO, to be interviewed, and immediately drove there. As soon as they let me know that it was me that was being Accused, it was like a weight had been lifted from my Shoulders, because I knew at that point that nothing had actually happened to her. I will give you some background, im currently at the time of writing 47 years old, and was a NREMTP Paramedic for nearly 20 years with a flawless record of service to my Community, Criminal History of 2004 Hunting after dark. I am also a servant of Jesus Christ, and delivered from alcohol and myself years ago, with four grown Sons.
    The Investigation by DHR and BCSO lasted several months, and was very thorough, including extensive interviews of Neighbors and Family. The Kids were subsequently taken from the Parents because of the Drug Use, and placement made with (DIL) Great Aunt and Uncle which are very aged , and dislike me because of DHR/ accusation, and have isolated my Granddaughters in what I characterize as a soft Jail. In September of 2019 Barbour Ju Court (Judge Horne) signed a final order of the Court Drafted by Local Office of General Counsel Attorney Michael Rutland, which States quote ” The children are not to go to the Residence of Tommy Williams”. I was granted 1 Sunday a month to take them to Church, which I later found to be Unenforceable, because no specific Sunday was designated, I file a motion for a hearing and to keep Case open (ignored). I was Practically escorted out of multiple Lawyers offices upon them reading the Final order of the court, and still unable to secure representation. In fact most are prohibited from being adverse to DHR. The last time i saw the Grandbabies (except Photos)was December 22, 2019. In 2021 i had failed multiple background checks, and Barbour DHR actually disclosed accusation info in my presence over speaker phone, as if it was true and told 2 others the same day. This was 2 years in and, I filed a Demand to be Charged to the State of Alabama, which I don’t think has ever been done before, nevertheless the Local DA refused then the AL Attorney General Refused by inaction. I have written Letters, Made calls, filed motions etc. all Ignored, for the most part, even a complaint on the Judge, and Lawyers and according to the Letterhead The Alabama State Bar is also Office Of General Counsel.
    Fast Forward to March 2024, and I learned of the ” Alabama Central Registry for Child Abuse And Neglect” this is an illegal Registry requiring ANY accusation to be entered and disseminated to “need to know” people within 3 days of the Accusation. until this point I had never heard of this Registry, much less informed I was on it! This explained a lot, and the Rules for this Registry were written under Statutory Authority by Office Of General Counsel. How is a Rule written Under Statutory Authority, and imposed on the Populus any Different than a Law? It just so happens that after 5 years on the Central Registry, You are eligible to apply for a Expungement, so I file for the Expungement to Verify that I am on it, and I was. This Stuff is somewhat hidden and it takes a bit of digging to piece together the whole picture, it is complicated and compartmentalized on purpose, and it has taken me over 5 Years, here is what i have found, and it is shocking!
    All Agencies that write rules under Statutory Authority, must file in the Federal Register, and must adhere to the Administrative Procedures Act (APA), which is a must Read and only 9 pages with easy to understand Language. The Federal Register describing THE Office Of General Counsel Organization, Functions and Delegations of Authority under the Title DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES ( Vol. 86, No. 12/ Thursday, January 21, 2021/Notices ) Describes a VAst excess of Power, and Govern all State Child Service Agencies, pretending to be State Agencies ,wearing State immunity, Is Actually a Very Large Federal Agency (Executive Branch) of the Commerce Department that also control many other Federal Agencies including but, not limited to Alabama DHR,AL State Bar, Justice Department,all state health organizations,FCC,USDA,Indian Affairs,NIH,FDA,CDC,SEC, they also conduct Sbcommitte Ethics Training, and all FOIA officer training, this is by no means a comprehensive list.
    The (APA) is known as the Constitution of Administrative Law, and lays out many of our Rights Specifically, and I enjoyed reading it. (APA) under the definition of Person or Party, states that all named Parties “Properly seeking, and Entitled as of Right to be admitted, as a Party in any Agency Proceeding”, that means all these ” Emergency Meetings” Ex parte alone with a Judge to take our Children are Illegal! Now if a Legal Proceeding with a Judge Happens, and kids are taken that is the way it should work, often time there are secretly fabricated stories that Parents may have no idea of. Also in (APA) Learned about Judicial Review, which at the time of this writing in united states district court, middle district of Alabama Case 2:24-CV-286 a petition forJUDICIALREVIEW a writ of fortiori older argument being that the Constitution is the Highest Law in the LAND. Suits for monetary Judgments are a mere inconvenience to this Powerful Organization, but a Federal Judicial Review I think can affect real change, also the Expungement granted, and they issued a statement that I was found to be NOT INDICATED and all the Overt Harassments stopped completely, oddly enough the Harassments started the day that DHR typed the acknowledgment Letter that I was on there (about 36 days), and included a Large Military Helicopter Landing in the Field across the road the first time I tried to Publish this , they were over there for hours while I finished, and all of it somehow disappeared when i hit send then they flew away some time after that. Very Important it appears all cps to be state, and wearing State Immunity and also appears that they would be subject to the State Courts which they are not according to several recent state supreme court rulings including Kids to love VS state of Alabama DHR in which they Ruled unanimously for Kids to Love But stated that ” We have no jurisdiction” correct because they are a Powerful Federal Agency in the Executive Branch!

    If You have not hear about THE OFFICE OF GENERAL COUNSEL you aren’t alone, So they are as I have mentioned Executive Branch/Commerce Department THE GENERAL COUNSEL is Joe Biden Appointee Leslie B. Kiernan and is also sole legal counsel to the Commerce Secretary, 10 regions, Alabama is Region 4 out of Atlanta GA (according to the Social security act state duties)according to the Federal register papers.
    What duties does Office of General Counsel actually do for for all it’s subordinate Agencies?1. All Legal services , and Direction 2. Writes ALL rules under statutory Authority 3. Interpretation and Implementation of Rule just written 4. Provides Initial and Continued Ethics Training 5. Financing and Budget 6.Participates in the Development of Strategic Plans, Regulatory Activities and Policy Papers. 7.Negotiates ALL Monetary Settlements 8.Represents in ALL litigation 9.Acts as Sole Representative with the DOJ and Office of White House Counsel 10.Conducts internal investigations 11.Prepares Reports and Letters to Congressional Committees 12.Performs Liaison functions with the Office of the Federal Register, National Archives and Records Service 13.Reviews and Approves all Administrative Complaints, and Enforcement actions by ANY Agency within the Department BEFORE those complaints are filed or transmitted. 14. Leads ALL Negotiations 15.Supervises all Legal Activities of the Department and its operating Agencies. 16. Services on Business Management, Administration activities, Employment, Compensation, Personnel appropriations, Real and Personal property, procurement, information and Travel. 17. Provides all Legal services with the respect to the formation, maintenance and administration of the Advisory Committees under the Federal Advisory Committee Act 18.Develops Compound specific conduct, Regulations and Implementation Procedures
    This also is not a comprehensive List, but It seems clear that Office of General Counsel is in firm control of all these agencies, 2 additional actions they perform in our Gov are noteworthy and continue to show their Consolidation of Power 1. Reviews Executive Branch Public Financial Disclosure Reports submitted by Presidential Nominees/Appointees subject to Senate confirmation 2.Review ALL FOIA Request for communications from the Secretary.
    One can clearly see that they are in excess of Power and I think our 3 Branch system of Government has been breached by the Biden Administration in particular 1. it is Clearly a Duty of the Judicial Branch to say what “THE LAW IS” and 2. The deciding of Individual Cases, which is clearly not the Case with DHR, and also Same ones that are after President Trump in my opinion, also that (OGC) has 80-90% of US Attorneys on the payroll or otherwise locked down and even higher percentage that can operate in Federal Court, which is likely a huge driver of inflation and other Social woes. I also estimate that the Secretary has in excess of 2 Million under command either directly or indirectly. My Case for example Judge Horne prior to his Judgeship, was ingratiated through the GAL program to (OGC), and when Local OCG and DHR decided my case and drafted the Document that Violates my Civil Rights, the Court signs it effectively placing Sanction on me and others I’m sure.

    My Conclusions: The Biden Administration Office of General Counsel Left Legal in the Rearview Mirror long ago, and have continued to amass Power and sell influence and our Children even. They intent to continue at any cost, and a good display of this is the 2010 Murder/Coverup of Georgia Senator and American Hero, which lived in a Gated Community. This 74 Year old Patriot spent the last three years of her life trying to Abolish the current system for a more Family oriented/Parental rights model (Senate Bill 215) She Published a Report Entitled “The Corrupt Business Of Child Protective Services” she was days away from releasing her video Documentary in which she claimed to have infiltrated a Large Pedophilia Ring inside (OGC) the Cameraman that followed her did not release the documentary after her death even though i am certain he was paid for his services, he has been very quiet except to say ” She just couldn’t let it go”, all of those of us that took an Oath to the Constitution to Defend it against all Enemies Foreign and Domestic, at this point Biden Admin would fit both categories, and we should never let go of our Freedoms or Children best worded by President Trump “FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT” write Letters, make calls, ask questions and Spread the Information because the monetization of our children has grown to be a multi Billion dollar a year Industry, in which the children perform worse on absolutely every metric!
    Families Dealing with child services advice: 1. Read the documents pointed out and know your Rights, and exercise them don’t be intimidated 2.Document, Document, Document in writing and also video all interactions with them even they will strongly dissuade you from it and any other Rights you will give up or sign away 3. Paid Lawyers have a higher success rate for a reason 4. Cooperate only after you have been to Court with them, and Strictly follow the orders of the Court 5. they can interview at school without your permission 6. Some Allegations are said to be used to target certain vulnerable Children 7. If Allegation has been leveed, regardless of validity you are on an illegal registry, and you must exhaust all agency Remedies before applying for a Federal Judicial Review. Most of all Pray that this Wickedness be done away with and Transparency in these matters. PAWPAW

    DHR Blount County IS CORRUPT and have destroyed many families. They have also caused PTSD in many innocent lives. ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY! It’s EVIL. Don’t let them inside your house and lives, protect your family at all costs because once they get you to talk and sign paperwork, you’ll never get rid of them. Everything you tell them will be used to build their case against you. They are not there to help you. The falsify reports and violate your constitutional rights. They are your enemy and will turn your life into a nightmare.

    I am the reason Argo now has body cams. The officer who kept tazing the old man in the truck is the corrupt officer who wrote in his report that I threatened him and was cursing up a storm at him. Said I tried to grab his taser. Officer Moses did take video of me with his phone while taking me to jail for disorderly conduct and it showed no cursing or anything except me crying. The judge viewed this recording and then allowed me to be on probation, but I had to go to anger management. Which was expensive. I had no reason to be arrested for disorderly conduct. A couple of months later I was in traffic court with my son. He noticed two cops walk in. One pointed to me and then motioned to his bodycam. I wasnt the first to complain about him. But the judge could tell I wasnt worried about my case until I found out Agro didn’t have dash cams. Hey all got body cams after that. I’m glad I remembered the recording he(Officer Moses) made on his phone or in sure it would have been a lot worse.

    My son snuck out of the house for 10 minutes while I was doing dishes. This has NEVER happened before. They immediately took him from home, luckily I had my mother in law to help me. One month later, I have voluntary signed up for color code and completed parenting classes with absolutely nothing from them at all. No calls. No check ins. Nothing. They just took my son from me with absolutely no follow up what so ever.

  8. Has dhr forced you on birth control to mess you up so you can’t have kids later on? Has dhr put you in mental places to be abused and used like a lab rat? Has dhr put you out like a dog because you became of age and they couldn’t longer draw your ssi? Have you been through the hell I’ve been through and they still mess with you knowing you developed PTSD from what they put you through? Are your files missing like mine are that mental health wanted you to get but when you go to ask for them they are suddenly gone because they switched to the computer? When you go through what I’ve been through and develop PTSD and they still mess with you knowing your mentally ill and your psych don’t like it and isn’t going to put up with them doing you this way much longer and you live everyday with scars physically emotionally and all but still wake up and put your feet on the ground knowing your better and have a better life to live for then you tell me how you can still be standing with all that has happened and they still messing with you but you know God is bigger and you still have something to live for a smile on your face and all. Can you do it?

  9. Grandparents Fight against DHR through the Mercy and Grace of God
    (The struggles to gain Grandparental Rights)

    An Alabama couple is frightened that they may never see their granddaughters Sarah and Katie again and concerned about their well being. They need to be with their maternal grandparents where they should have been back in September 2012. This all started on September 21, 2012 with the DHR (the state’s child protective services) when they removed our granddaughters Sarah and Katie from their home where their mom (Faith Smith), the guy friend (James or Jim Dean) and his mom (Rhonda Dean) lived in Adger, Alabama. Sarah and Katie were placed in a foster home about 30 minutes from their other home. The foster home already had 7 people in the home. We did not know they had been removed until about a week or two later when we got a phone call from the first DHR case worker (Angi Collins). If we had known we would have been at the court date on Sept 24, 2012 but we had no idea. This is when we starting getting to visit with the girls. The first time was on a weekend at the foster parents (Tim and Dee Pearce) home which is in Adger, Alabama. We have passed all the requirements that DHR wanted. This is when DHR should have placed the granddaughters with the grandparents which is family but DHR did not do their job in reunification of family like they are suppose too. In November 5, 2012 we had an ISP for the girls. The case worker (Angi Collins) called them (parents) out on so many lies and the foster dad (Tim Pearce) did the same. Then the guy friend (Jim Dean) and his mom (Rhonda Dean) was making the mom our daughter (Faith Smith) speak up and tell lies about her dad (Brent Smith) and what he did to her when she was 5 or 8. We had two other daughters living in the home. The middle child was 18 years old and the youngest was 16 years old. Our 18 year old told the first case worker (Angi Collins) if something did happen would I still be living in the home? Also why didn’t DHR remove the 16 year old and the exchange student for farther investigation of these false accusations that she (Faith) was forced into bringing up in the ISP meeting on November 5, 2012. November 27, 2012 was a court date we attended and found out the case worker (Angi Collins) was sick and could not make it but then found out a week later that she had been called off the case for some reason and there would be a new case worker who would be in contact with us. We were contacted by mail in December, 2012 of the new case worker (Latesia Jefferson) and then again in January, 2013 about the date for the ISP for the girls. The Bio parent filed a police report December 12, 2012. She waited a month and 7 days before she filed a false police report about these accusations that she brought up at the ISP in November 5, 2012. The second case worker( Latesia Jefferson) passed us with all the requirements that we had to have with DHR. Also we have passed the CASA and an Assistant from DHR requirements for the girls. All of them have said we are ready for them to come live with us the grandparents. The first case aide also has said lets bring those girls home where they belong. One time in court the year 2013 one of the lawyers said to the judge “your honor if we had any place to put the kids outside of DHR we would”. Okay what are we chop liver. Have had about 6 backgrounds since all this mess with DHR started in September, 2012 because we have had international exchange students living with us for the school year, have worked with children’s camps with a foster care agency, vacation Bible School with our church. Plus my husband has to have FBI checks and fingerprint checks for his job. Have had recent background check in July 2015 and again in August 2015 and all came back clear and we still do not have our granddaughters. Just had a background check done in May 2016 and a child neglect/abuse check done too and they came out clear again. So about 10 background check and child neglect/abuse checks have been done since 2012 and still NO granddaughters. The last time we had visits with our granddaughters was June 9, 2013. Before the visit had started we notice that the oldest (Sarah) had bruises on her legs and a scratch on her arm that looked infected. So we told the new case aide about them and showed her too. Then two weeks later our visits were terminated. The case worker said that they had an ISP meeting on June 18, 2013 that we did not know about and since the parents were still parents they did not wont us to see the girls. Kind of funny that they had a ISP a week after our visit with the girls. Wonder what the new case aide wrote in her report that day. Thought DHR was there to reunify children with family members. So far they have not done their job in reunification of the children with family who has been waiting for 4 years and has passed all the requirements not just once but 4 times by 4 different DHR workers and passed a lot of background checks and still NO granddaughters.
    There was a court date that was suppose to be on August 24, 2015 at 8:30am but the only people that showed up was our lawyer, me, and our two bio daughters. After being there about an hour our lawyer told us that they were splitting the dates up for the children. What ever that means sounds kind of fishy to us. Through all these years we have been treated like the bad guys and the parents and the other grandparent the good guys.
    December 2, 2015 was court again for our granddaughters but nothing happened since their criminal case is still pending. WOW. So sad DHR is doing these children like they are when there is good family that loves them and can care for them.
    June 1, 2016 was court again for our granddaughters and again nothing happened since their criminal case is still pending.
    How can we get it through their (DHR) thick skull that we have done nothing wrong and Sarah and Katie NEED to be with family that has passed 4 requirements by DHR.
    September 14, 2016 this time we went to court for grandparents visits with Sarah and Katie but the judge denied it and did not give a reason why it was denied. She (the judge) did not want to hear anything not even from the GAL and the CASA. They wanted answers too. For once they (gal and casa) were on our side but the judge did not want to hear anything.
    We have missed their first steps, their first words, their first tooth, their first time eating table food. Missed out on Sarah’s first day of Kindergarten August 2016. Sarah’ first homecoming week of 2016. We might have missed Sarah first loose tooth and the first visit from the tooth fairy. What other first are we as grandparents going to miss with our granddaughters.
    December 7, 2016 again we went to court to get grandparents visits with Sarah and Katie and again the court was continued. How long is DHR going to keep our granddaughters in their care. This corruption has gone on 4 years too long. This is also when we found out there is a third grandchild name Hunter who was born in 2014.
    Now all this makes sense why our visits were terminated in June 2013 is because Faith was pregnant and starting to show and did not want us to know about the child. Plus DHR was trying to cover their tracks too in their corruption of the system. This is legal kidnapping.

    I’ve been dealing with DHR in Alabama for over 9 months now. They threw everything at me that was possible multiple classes, psych visits, counselors in my home on a weekly basis. To the point where I have to work nights and some days get no sleep to get everything done the Department requires of me and as soon as I complete one thing they want to add another. They lie and say whatever they want to make you comply so they get a bigger paycheck. I hope to see your site expand and maybe one day make a change. Lots of love and support for your family from Bama
