Update for May 25, 2007 – Our section 45 hearing was concluded yesterday in the early afternoon. I will summarize this hearing with just a few points for now.
One of the attorneys wanted the judge to order me to remove this webpage. This same attorney tried using different reasons to get the webpage down.
It makes a person wonder, is this attorney afraid of, “the truth?” I still have freedom of speech as you can see it is still up and running.
These next statements are about the testimony from BV DHS/CPS and the lies that were told.
This person stated under oath that during our first meeting in March 2005, we were told any visitation our daughter had with her children had to be supervised.
That was a flat out lie, we were never told at any time any visitations HAVE to be supervised. The first time this was even close to being mentioned was during a meeting June 17, 2005. This was when we were informed we weren’t supposed to let our daughter have unsupervised visitations.
We let our daughter have an unsupervised visit on Mothers Day, May 8, 2005. May 18, 2005 we had a visit with BV, during this meeting we were told we have to let our daughter have unsupervised visits so she can take the children to church and it was in our discretion when the children were returned home. BV lied about this also. BV testified that we were told our daughter had to take the children to church and straight back home.
During this same meeting on May 18th, we informed BV we let our daughter have the unsupervised visit on Mother’s Day. We were then informed BV didn’t want the boyfriend to have contact with the children. BV was then informed the boyfriend had been living next door with our daughter. BV went next door and told our daughter and the boyfriend he could no longer live there and he could have no contact with the children. BV’s next lie, the testimony was our daughter was the one that informed BV about the unsupervised visit.
It's amazing how much DHS/CPS conveniently can't remember or recall when asked. Here I thought they took notes and made reports of visits that were in regards to children they are "protecting."
A couple comments about the testimony from LG DHS/CPS.
By the testimony this person gave, LG gave the court the impression we didn't try to get visitations with our granddaughters until Jan 3, 2006. LG didn't tell the truth, there were at least 2 previous occasions I called LG and tried to get visitations with Alyssa and Amber and both time I was told, "NO, Grandparents have no rights." In fact I even argued with LG the second time I was told that. Are we suppose to beg to see our own grandchildren? The conversation on Jan. 3, 2006 was about a couple different subjects, visitations and why the girls were removed from our daughter the second time. Yes, this time it came out our daughter didn't want us to see the girls. I guess she was still mad for being punished. I was also lied to during this conversation by LG. I was told the reason the girls were removed was because my daughter tested positive for drugs. We know that's wasn't true as there is a different story in the report.
Now why are these workers able to commit perjury and break other laws you and I would definitely be prosecuted for? Could it be because DHS/CPS and these workers are represented by the prosecutor? How many prosecutors are going to charge their own clients with breaking laws?
There were 2 reasons our granddaughters were removed from our home and both were addressed during this section 45 hearing. The unsupervised visit and I smoked Marijuana in the past. Yet I quit smoking it long before the girls were placed in our home. Grandma never smoked it.
* The MCI superintendent, Bill Johnson, also stated in his denial of consent that I don't have the insight as to our granddaughter emotional/mental needs. We had a court hearing Jan. 3, 2006 and the Honorable Judge Terrence Thomas gave us the courts consent to adopt, so we thought we were getting our granddaughters then.. Early the following morning I called Dr. Griffioen about Alyssa and Amber's emotional/mental needs. I called 2 times and left him a message both times. He called me back the same day and this is when we discussed him taking care of our granddaughter emotional/mental needs. Here is my telephone bill and a picture of his return call on my caller ID.

* I say the ones who lacked any sort of insight were those I've dealt with at DHS. They didn't have the insight to know they were being lied to by my daughter. They lacked the insight to know how our granddaughters would take being removed from everyone they have ever known and loved. Bill Johnson lacks the insight to realize he isn't being told the whole truth from DHS or the adoption agency and their BIAS.
I will admit I lacked the insight of knowing some CPS/foster care workers are capable of lying and putting fraudulent information in documents they author.
I already knew about this part but I don't think the judge did. During the section 45 hearing it was revealed that our granddaughters were returned home to their mother and boyfriend even though our daughter tested positive for marijuana earlier that day. The reasoning was the girls were already told they are going home.
Now this brings me to some comments of my own and the main reason I made this website. DHS/CPS didn’t care about causing Alyssa and Amber emotional problems when they unjustly removed these precious young ladies from our loving home where they were very well taken care of. DHS/CPS didn’t care about Alyssa and Amber’s emotional well being when these young ladies knew they were coming home to grandma and grandpas to live and they were going to be adopted by us. Yet DHS/CPS pulls the rug from under them at the very last minute causing them more emotional problems. Yes I blame DHS/CPS among others for what they have and are now doing to these children. If they were doing the right thing then they would not have to lie in court and use fraudulent information in reports and documents.
There are always two sides to a story and if you are getting the side from DHS/CPS, don't count on it being the truth.
