IN THE DARKNESS OF SECRECY, ALL SORTS OF THINGS GO WRONG...IF WE LOSE OUR CHILDREN...WE LOSE OUR NATION!!

The family is the basic unit of social structure. Families define and shape the individuals that are a part of the family unit. Parents teach their children their values, and teach them a moral value of what is right and what is wrong. Parents set boundaries as to what is acceptable behavior and what will not be tolerated. These are basic and fundamental rights given to parents. They are recognized by the highest court in America to be the responsibility of the parents, not the job of the government. - Dawn Michelle Irons, BSW

The Communist Manifesto represents a misguided philosophy, which teaches the Citizens to give up their RIGHTS for the sake of the "common good," but it always ends in a police state.

BOS CLARIFICATION OF ROLES W/IN COUNTY

** Bring this information next meeting
F. Lauftus: Elected officials should report to the people, separation of the
power, the Board of Supervisors behaves as if everyone reports to them,
Employees fear Board of Supervisors
Need separation of powers and responsibilities, too much minutia, Board of
Supervisors need to plan for our community, respond to the people, what are
meetings held during the day, need to make it easier for the public to
participate. Job Description, Clarification of the Board of Supervisors role
within the County.
the County, Department Heads report of the CAO/CEO, Effective system of
annual evaluations, Department Heads should be appointed by the CEO. Too
many elected officials, do not need to have elected Treasurer/Tax Collector,
Department Heads need to have professional training and need to be hired for
their ability not popularity, Purchasing be more functional, high level of
accountability,
C. Dilts:E. Knapp: ** Will return with information
R. Boylan: Grand Jury: if Charter goes away we would be okay, CEO is a
strong form of government, a professional CEO could create a stronger
government, Should continue the following elected officials: DA, Sheriff, &
Elections, Do not need to elect Treasurer/Tax Collector, Clerk/Recorder &
Surveyor, Sheriff’s salary is obscene, 70% of the budget, should be scaled
back to restore Mental Health Services
S. Taylor: Must work with 6-7 agencies to get a project done, would like to see
an outside organization to hire the CEO, frustrated by systems within the
County
C. McCoy: Section 210 #3 CAO needs to be the one to appoint the Department
Heads, Department heads need to answer to one boss. Sections 211 this is not
the way business is done
M.J. Botaglia: Board of Supervisors needs a code of conduct, Board of
Supervisors is elected, need to be trained as to their responsibilities within the
County structure
B. Kelson: CEO/CAO need to have the authority to hire and fire Department
Heads to create a cohesive business.

My letter to board re; my story and need for reform

MS. SANTIAGO, MEMBERS OF THE BOARD: March 31, 2010 Again I would like to thank you and the board members for your patients and your time once again to listen to a very sensitive issue for both sides. The CPS power point presentation was informative and professional, but as it progressed with numbers, percentages and measuring trends to surrounding counties, I remember hearing the words, “we are on track and meeting the counties expectations”, or something close to that. I felt my gut twist and became overwhelmed with sadness. I thought, “ That is not at all what my experience was like”. They present their facts and figures and say that our county is meeting expectations, while they run their own show and seem to leave out the data regarding how the children are coping emotionally and the appropriateness of case plans to families.

My girls

My girls
What it's all about

MAKING A DIFFERENCE..AS ONE LIFE INTERSECTS ANOTHER


A SPECIAL THANKS...

to a select few, who have taken me under their wing, treated me as family and most importantly, NEVER abandon me, nor judged me, NO MATTER WHAT.

MY ATTORNEY.. JIM BRUNELLO.

If you ever read this, You must know...You saved my life, taught me through your experiences and never forgot to remind me of my talents and the lives I have touched. When I feel down, I think of what you always told me..."You're ok Kid".

FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, THANK YOU


MY PARTNER IN CRIME...PENNY ARNOLD (AKA) TRIPPLE "C".

We were two moms waiting to be seen at the court house that lonely morning. Fate brought us together, and together we stood through fear, disbelief, pain and sorrow. I will always cherish our nights of wine, crying, studying case law, but more importantly, when I stood alone and faced Pure Evil, I was not alone, as you were always there, when I turned around.

THAT FEELING IS PRICELESS

I LOVE YOU FRIEND



ROBERT SAUNDERS.
(Never judge a book by its Cover) YOU ARE AWESOME!!
YOU GAVE US HOPE, AND THE DRIVE WE NEEDED TO FIGHT
WHEN OUR MOMENTUM ALMOST CAME TO A STAND STILL


FATHERS FOR JUSTICE and JUSTICE REFORM COALITION.

MY BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER..CHLOE


I watch you unfold and am amazed every day, as I now learn much from you. Your calling is much bigger, as you will soon realize.

MY QUIET WARRIOR..MY LEGACY...

NEVER OF ME, BUT THROUGH ME...
THAT IS U MY DEAR.. MISS CHLOE

VOICES

*VOICES*


Can't they hear? Can't they see? This sweet, soft voice beckons for help, "Please Hear Me". One small mouth is never a match for the selective listening social worker, Indeed.
Sad eyes, stay there and don't despair, Your voice, it pierces me as it sailed through the air. This soft voice that I did hear, will now be delivered with Power, and very Clear.
Relax little one, breathe deep with no fear, your pain we will carry, your message "They" will hear.
I won't stop, I won't, as God as my witness, and now my carreer....Then off in the distance, soft voices, they wander.....It's ok little one, ...I'm coming "My Dear"

Yes We are Coming
Justice is Here!!

(This came from deep in my gut one night that I just could not sleep. I wept uncontrollably as I heard their voices in my head; I sat down to console them and gave them my promise, for which you've just read.
