Lane, who walked with his Maori wife and three children, arrived from New Zealand to join the walk in Kansas. The Columbus, Ohio, police attack was the only attack on the Long Walk. The Columbus mayor apologized and an internal police investigation was launched.

Incident Report of Interaction With Columbus Police Department
The Longest Walk 2: Northern Route
Incident Report of Interaction With Columbus Police Department
This statement is a true and correct account of the interaction between The Longest Walk 2: Northern Route and the Columbus, Ohio Police Department. My name is Michael Lane. On the day in question I was driving point, and responsible for the coordination and safety of the Walkers.
We began the Walk on the western end of Columbus, near the beltway. We walked a few miles down the main road without incident. Upon turning into a three lane road going eastward I made the call to take the right hand lane, as we had done in a number of other cities. After a mile or so, a police cruiser pulled up and demanded that the Walkers go on the sidewalk. After some internal consultation via walkie talkie, the Walkers did move to the sidewalk. Soon thereafter another vehicle approached and attempted to interfere with a support vehicle. I pulled over and had my wife drive so that I could talk to the police while the Sacred Staffs continued on. When approaching the Walkers I saw a police officer grab the arm of the driver of the support car, nearly causing an accident. At almost the same time another officer was yelling at our Security to not stop a vehicle at a small intersection while the Walkers continued across. The officer then ran up to one of the Security, Luv (Rudolfo Villalobos) and physically grabbed him from behind with the intent of shoving him aside. At this time the Walkers had crossed the street, and Security carried on.
I went to the patrol car and attempted to talk to the officers, but they took off down the road. I then proceeded to return to the Walkers and was about two blocks behind. Another support vehicle came up and gave me a ride. I saw two more police vehicles. I tried to engage one of them in a conversation and said that if this continued they would be creating an international incident. The officer said he did not know anything about that but that his superior officer was arriving. I next noticed that a number of police vehicles and officers had swooped down upon the two support vehicles. I got out of the vehicle I was riding in and the Walkers were told to carry on.
I went up to the lead support vehicle that was being driven by my wife. I saw approximately four officers standing by the driver door of the two support vehicles as well as a number of other officers. I approached the driver side of the door and attempted to explain what the Walk was about and that my wife was just driving because I had tried to talk to the police a few blocks back. I said if they needed to talk to someone then they were to talk to myself. At that time, as there was a paddy wagon I feared that they were going to try and arrest my wife, a fear that was confirmed later. At no time did I use threatening language or in any way attempted to get physical with any police officer.
I was therefore rather surprised to be slammed against the side of the van by two officers and then to be looking directly at the front end of a taser gun. The officer pointing the taser gun at my head was approximately 3 feet away with the gun about a foot or so away. I know that it was pointed at my head because the front end was not in any way slanted. The officer with the taser was standing to my left at a 45 degree angle. Within a second or two the officers holding me jumped to my right and when I looked over, Luv was being thrown to the ground. I continued trying to talk to the police, and an officer identified himself as a Lieutenant.
We walked to the sidewalk while Luv was being arrested. I continued to explain that we were a spiritual Walk and had walked through many cities in the same manner without incident. He repeatedly said we needed a parade permit and were a threat to public safety as well as ourselves. I told him that we had been liaising with a Mr. Cull in the Ohio Department of Transportation and had his phone number on my cell phone. I was not allowed to get my cell phone to verify this, and it was clear that he did not believe me. While we were talking, the mother of three of the five children in the rear support vehicle came up to the vehicle as her children were crying. She was physically manhandled, as was another elderly Walker who came to her aide. I said to the Lieutenant that things were getting out of hand and that he needed to control his officers. After another minute of this kind of verbal exchange, he indicated that he was going to arrest the drivers of the two support vehicles and impound the vehicles, as well as Luv, but was thinking perhaps we could reach some kind of compromise. He looked at the Driver’s License of those driving the support vehicles and was surprised to see that my wife’s license was from New Zealand. I reiterated that the Walk had people from all over the US and other parts of the world. The Lieutenant than said that he would not arrest the drivers of the support vehicles and impound the vehicles and would only issue Luv a summons, if we agreed to only walk on the sidewalk and stop at all intersections until clear of vehicles. I told him that we could walk on the sidewalk but that we could not stop the Staffs at each intersection as we had a Ceremony whenever we stopped the Staffs. It was unfeasible for everyone to form a circle at each intersection. Another minute of back and forth on the issue and then he asked if we could just walk to a certain park (I forget the name) and sort things out there. I agreed.
I then jumped into the lead vehicle and we drove down to catch up with the Walkers. I briefly indicated to the Walkers via the passenger window to keep going to that park. In going ahead I was surprised to see another group of approximately 15 – 20 officers with a number of cars and paddy wagons. I asked my wife to pull over and I asked to speak to someone in charge. An officer indicated he was and I asked what was going on as a deal had been made with their Lieutenant. He said that they had just been told that and were standing down. It was clear that the intent was to blockade the sidewalk and arrest the Walkers.
We drove a little further and saw a closer park then the one agreed to. We decided to have the Walkers stop there instead. I flagged down an officer to relay that message. The Walkers stopped there, and with some assistance from the Department of Justice and the Ohio Department of Transportation, an agreement was reached whereby two bicycle officers would ride along so we could have continuous motion through intersections.
In closing, one of my daughters (aged 9) was in the rear support vehicle when the taser gun was pointed at my head. She indicated to me that she was afraid I was going to be shot with a gun. She had no way of knowing it was not a regular gun and that if shot at point blank range in the head that my chances of dying were less then if it were a bullet. I could only give her a hug and tell her I was alright. It was of course not alright that she had to go through that for what at worse could be classified as jaywalking. In addition, she also said that one of the officers had told the children in the car that they would be taken to some social services place, causing the children considerable distress.

Children are dying under the Indiana State Dept of Children, but no one is held accountable, as they investigate themselves, citizens are refused an Ombudsman, and the Attorney General protects the DCS staff from the crimes committed. DCS does not even keep a record of the children that are abused and murdered under state care, and their acations are in secrecy and confidential. They lie, commit perjury, & falsify court documents, but no one can do anything about it. Parents are defamed, children taken from safe homes to be placed in danger, or children in danger are left in danger. Either case, DCS, does not protect, but gains big bucks of tax dollars and federal bonus incentives.
Don't believe everything you hear from the governmental agency, called Child Protection Services, Dept of Children. They say they substantiate cases, but most times they lie and cause more harm to children than help. This governmental agency is nothing more than a human trafficking business, as a mafia, and paid for under a governmental agency. Crimes against innocent families, and children that are given to strangers, for foster funds, then adoption for the federal re-imbursements. Those not adopted are then aged out and end up homeless.
Families in Indiana, USA, like all other states in the country, can not protect their own children, as the state makes a profit to remove children from their homes, as children have a price tag on their head. Human trafficking, done by a governmental agency, Child Protection Services, is gaining profits to 'sell' children, under the facade of protection and violate every right all citizens have.
Over 1000 children died in Indiana in 2004, Governor, Mitch Daniels, campaigned to have an open door policy and stop the large numbers of deaths of children. However, again, over 1000 children died in Indiana, in 2007. No change noted. Child Protection Service is never accountable or responsible for the deaths of any child under state care. Nor, do they have to report the deaths.
We pay for governmental agencies to protect children, then we pay private agencies & attorneys to protect children from the agencies that are to protect. Redundant mis-use of funds. Investigators need to look at the allegations, then look for the actual supportive documentation time line. Much of what CPS documents is bogus, and they willing commit perjury together to conspire to make their lies a fact. The web they weave is intense, but false. But when there is a true abuse report, CPS fails to act. It seems as if they have no criteria or state laws to use as a guideline of what is true abuse or neglect. CPS workers can be subject, biased, and violate the rights of both parents and children, as CPS make up their own rules as they go. They are never held accountable, so who will stop their negligence?
Many children taken from their parents was done so for the state to profit from federal dollars by federal incentives, programs, bonuses, and grants. Many families throughout this nation are devastated, and the lives of children are meaningless to the gain of the dollar profits for the states. Child Protection Services is a facade of 'protection', but is really a human trafficking business.
In Indiana, like many other states in the nation, children have a price tag on their heads and large amounts of federal funding given to the state, as the state workers are allowed to commit perjury, make false bogus cases, and parents threaten to remain quiet. If the truth of what Indiana does against parents and children, or the crimes state workers are allowed to get by with, could only be revealed to all.
In the last several months, children have been murdered while under state care, but none of the Dept. of Children workers are investigated or held accountable. The prosecutor does nothing, the police do nothing, the head of the dept., James Payne, ignores and did ignore our cry for help, and the Governor, Mitch Daniels, refuses to respond to our requests to speak to him. The Attorney General protects Dept. of Children, as he refuses to do anything, as he is to protect them. But yet, the Attorney General says his office runs the Consumer Protection Agency. Conflict of interest? The Attorney General, Steve Carter, delights to say citizens can sit at dinner without soliciting phone calls, but forgets to mention we have to donate time to arrange and attend the funerals of many innocent children, who were horrifically murdered. The he protects the agency that did nothing when notified of the danger the children were in. We know the truth. Our legislators and senators, even the suppose to be accountable, governor, does nothing to prevent the state workers from committing crimes against both children and parents. There are many children that are listed under state care, that is just simply MISSING, but the state is still gain funding from the feds for those children. There is never audits, receipts given, or inspections of what is really going on within the dept of Child Protection Services.
If you only knew the crimes of the Indiana State governmental officials, you would literally throw up. Many citizens in Indiana are victimized and terrorized, but it depends on who you are to get help from such horror. The crimes behind the scenes and no one held accountable. Here in Indiana, Child Protection Workers can commit perjury, falsification of court records, police can make false reports, prosecutors can laugh at a 911 tape of a woman beaten in her own car, and also make false charges on the abused woman, to protect the man abuser.
My family is aware of the crimes against families and children, done so by Child Protection Services. The federal government also knows about the crimes, but do nothing. More and more money is utilized to literally kidnap children, in order to gain federal funds, programs, and grants. Children are used as calves, as we pay tax dollars to fatten, then the children are mentally and emotionally devastated for life, that is, it the children live. Families loose their own flesh and blood kinship, as children loose their heritage, religion, culture, and families.
More children die under state care, and they are never accountable or responsible for their negligence. Did you know that each state is given funds by the federal government, and as we noted for Indiana; CPS is a government agency that makes large profits from removing children from homes, but what happens to the children while under state care, is swept under the rug, as least, in Indiana.
Has anyone noticed that all states, including Indiana, received authorized appropriated federal funds in the sum of 325,000,000 each fiscal year, (per the Title IV, part B, Sub part 1) and then gain $43,000,000 for each fiscal years 2004 through 2008, (which is why more and more children are removed un-necessarily from safe homes to be placed into foster care), and more funds from the federal incentives programs, and grants of $100,000,000, then federal payments for foster care and adoption assistance, just to start off with. CPS is the only agency that does not have to show what they do with their money, as it is a secret.
Moreover, to audit medical care by an insurance company, they review by medical record. So why isn't each case reviewed for use of funds by case number by an non-biased, nothing to gain, committee? After reviewing the federal Compilation of Titles IV-B, IV-E, and related sections of the SSA (May2006) and the appropriation guidelines and criteria for receiving the federal funds, Indiana state is pocketing billions upon billions of funds, under the facade of children in need of care. SEC.421. [42U.S.C. 621] (a), denotes the federal allotted funds, but does the state reflect the use of the funds, county to county? Does the county budget validate the funds they say they need?
And why is each entity of the Dept of Child Services, separated out to different budgets, but the funds all go toward the same agency? Does our state and county like to use deception of where our money is going? Just where is it going?
You will not find it as CPS Dept of Children has a tightly woven secretive web of distractions and hidden agendas, that never get to be viewed? Wake up Indiana, do you know all the funds given by the feds to the state, that is never exposed, as we pay over one billion dollars for services that is to help children?? Check our the Fair Access to Foster Care Act of 2005, or the Titles IV-B, IV-E, and all other grants and funding given to the state.
The re-reimbursement is never noted on the county budget. Each county should force the state to prove the need of our tax dollars with an itemized bill that actually has 1+1 to equal 2, because, somewhere, there is billions of dollars not appropriated to where we are told. Where does all this money show up on the county budgets? Why isn't all these allotted federal funds shown at the budget meetings? Why are we, the citizens paying taxes collectively of over one billion dollars to the state, to fund the negligence of a government agency, Dept. of Children, that uses hearsay, falsification of documentation, and violation of judicial process, which causes more harm to children, defames parents, and destroys families? Just where does all the money go?
The children are not getting it. And what about the money from SSI and DSSI, child support, and all the other grants and funds that are pouring into the state??
The federal agent, Federal Declare titlied agent #18097, for Indiana, is to validate and oversee the use of funds and validate the necessity, but this is quite impossible, as CPS or Dept of Children hide their books, falsify their use of funds, cannot keep accurate records, and fail to remember each lie they tell from interview to interview.
Moreover, all around the United States of American, parents are loosing their very own children by hearsay, lies, false documentation of CPS workers, and lack of judges from honoring their own oath. The business of removing children with intent to sell the children has become a big human trafficking government mofia, which is kept silent, as both children and parents are violated and victimized of the Human, Civil, and Constitutional Rights, our soldiers have and are laying down their lives for. This is a hush hush government reality. Parents have no where to go for help.
I am a woman that has witnessed how our government has taken away all rights for democracy, liberty, and justice, from a woman who fled with her infant from abuse, only for the infant to be given to the abuser, with great intent, by Child Protection Services. Governor of Indiana, Mitch Daniels, who campaigned to have an open door policy regarding the crimes and negligence of Child Protection Services, now called Dept of Children, failed to do so, with purpose, as this governmental agency is a large money making business of human trafficking and literally defaming parents without regards for the Constitutional, Civil, or Human Rights. Lawmakers have no clue on the reality of what CPS is doing. What they say and what they really do, is a different as night is to day.
Be cautious of what the government in regards to the agency that is to 'protect', says and does, as they failed to honor all laws and rights citizens have, including the rights and wel-fare of children. Political officials make promises, but once elected, their campaign promises of the election is forgotten. I clearly remember the promise of Mitch Daniels, "I will have an open door policy regarding Child Protection Services". That is a laugh. When an agency of the government is given full reign without over sight, human trafficking, child laundrying business, and money laudrying, will become the only factor of the focus, not to protect. Mitch Daniels has failed to respond to many Indiana Citizens with his 'open door'. We, the citizens of Indiana and the United States know the truth of corruption, violation of Civil, Constitutional, and Human Rights, as we have be terrorized and victimized by the largest terrorist group in the world, The U.S. Child Protection Services, government agency.
How can democracy be upheld in the United States of America, when complaints against judges are reviewed by their own friend peers, Child Protection Services, investigated by their own department agency, or the Attorney General for the state to be the legal counsel for all government agencies, to deliberately ignore the crimes the state workers commit against citizens?
Who is legal counsel for the citizens?
We pay for the government to function, and we have to pay again with a private attorney to have our rights up-held!! In Indiana, the political figures function on their own agenda, not the needs of the citizens. Just like the attorney for Child Protection Services, as he threatens all who attempt to recite the laws, statutes, Civil, Constitutional, and Human Rights. When citizens inquire for information regarding the use of funds and the amount of federal re-inbursement given to the government agency, CPS, they refuse to honor the Freedom of Information Act and Open Access Indiana.
When citizens file complaints to the federal government, the feds just send a letter that they can not do anything, so take the complaints back to the state officials that are committing the crimes and victimization. Have we lost all our rights in the United States?
The fact that women and children are in much "lack of" protection in the United States, and ignored when cries for help is screamed out. I find it hard to believe, Republican President Bush, cares anymore for the victimizaiton of women and children in Indiana or elsewhere in the nation, as it IS the government agency that is allowed to perform in the horrific manner of harming more children than helping, defaming and financially burdening innocent parents, and allowing the states to use Magic words, to de-fraud the federal government pockets. Only a few offices below are listed with the responses of the many we contacted, handed over documented proof of the DCS crimes,only to be ignored.
The Governor of Indiana, Mitch Daniels: After many letters, calls, and walk in visits to the State House, our Governor, Mitch Daniels, refuses to listen and failed to build that "Open door policy" he stated as a promise during his campaign. Indiana Representative, Evan Bayh, stated the “Governor is ultimately responsible for the actions or lack of actions of CPS”. Two employees under Mitch Daniels, were very well aware of what was happening to us and still happening to many others. Neither seem to be concerned. Though, Scott Zarazee, did write 2 years ago, he would look into the concern, but nothing more done or said.
The Attorney General, Steve Carter' office response: ..."the Attorney General acts as legal counsel for the State of Indiana . We do not have jurisdiction in issues such as yours." This means, the Attorney General will do nothing to protect the citizens, parents, or children! It is okay for Dept of Children to commit perjury and falsification of court records. It is not about protection, it is about getting children in the system to waste money. Also, this also means, that a large hospital can overdose infants, doctors can refuse a patient the right to choose their own trusted doctor, CPS can allow an overdose of medication to be administered, that is highly neurotoxin and nephrotoxin to a 5 day old infant, and allow the hospital staff to refuse to identify who they were. This is the same response from the Indiana Health Department. “There was not enough documentation in the medical record to make a judgment”. Well, duh, like the staff and doctors are going to document what they did? Furthermore, the response from the Indiana Attorney General is no surprise, as the Attorney Generals Office will always deny claims against CPS, as the Attorney General will protect CPS, regardless of the cries. Unfortunately, citizens believe the falsehood regarding the Attorney General protects Indiana citizens. Quite similar, as citizens also believe the facade that CPS actually “protects” children or “preserves” families! Are we, the citizens of Indiana , so naive that we are simply paying an enormous amount of taxes without concern for any true necessary services to be rendered from our political leaders?
The Attorney General Inspector, David Thomas, response: "" .. Do as you are told ... or loose...” He has known for over 14 years of the CPS crimes done to children, parents, and the mockery of the judicial system, but he ignores the crimes done by CPS. This means, the Attorney General Inspector is aware of the crimes and victimization of innocent citizens and harm to children, but no investigation will take place, citizens have no rights. But, isn't’t investigation his job? He does get paid, right? For what?
The Head of Department of Children Services, James Payne, response: ""... I concur with the agency’s action in this matter." This means that even though the CPS workers committed perjury, falsification of court records, and gave an infant to a man, not known to be the father, for him the bash in her head, beat her fragile body, then DCF staff refuse medical treatment, and then the staff to hand walk the abuser into court, and refuse to tell the judge of his cocaine, and THC use, Bi-polar and Manic Depression, multiple arrests for battery, theft, robbery, and more. Even though this agency knew their allegations were all false, they still say they “substantiated” the allegations. By what you may ask. By perjury and falsification of documentation, of the social workers and case managers, employees paid for by the state. Doesn't substantiated mean valid factual evidence? Not when it comes to CPS. They are not held accountable or responsible for the lives of any child. They willingly defamed an innocent mother, kept her new born child from her for 7 months, then CPS acted like nothing happened. This is NOT an isolated case, this is the norm. DCS staff documented my name in their case, without speaking to me. I was slandered & libeled. The judge asked no questions for any proof, just rubber stamped the malicious, wanton, perjury & falsification of the DCS worker's document. DCS worker never got off her butt, just handed the infant to a man without any proof he was even a relative, as it was he that walked into the DCS office specifically asking for that worker. It schemed conspired crime by our state workers.
Child Protection Service staff are liars. I believe, that the Chief of Staff for Marion County Prosecutor' office, was slated in for judge by promise of James Payne to allow my family to be victimized and not charge the abusing man for his crimes, and to make multiple false police reports against the victimized mother, and allowed the infant to remain in danger. Lisa Borges, is now a judge. Um. Myron Hockman refused to do anything or allow us to press charges on anything, but he did file and help with a false report for the abuser, and he laughed at the 911 tape.
The Indiana Ethics Office: "We have received your complaints against FSSA and/or DCS. The Investigator General has already reviewed your complaint and determined that neither the Inspector General nor the Ethics Commission has jurisdiction over this case. Thank you for contacting us,...." This means that there is not one person in the state that will help a parent or child that is victimized by Child Protection Services. Not one. Not your Federal, State, or Local Representative, nor your City Council, Prosecutor, Police, not one person is willing to step in to stop the crimes of CPS toward innocent parents, children, and families as a whole. The Marion County Prosecutors office: " ..... We cannot help ... our hands are tied.....” , REFUSED TO ALLOW THE VICTIM TO FILE AGAINST HER ATTACKER, REFUSED TO ALLOW A PROTECTIVE ORDER TO BE SERVED. This means that regardless of the crimes of the agency, CPS and their affiliates, their crimes go un-punished. They walk about as a god.
The former Director of Prevent Child Abuse Indiana, Andie Marshall, response: “……..we advocate for systems that protect and support children. It is not an excuse but the sad reality is that Indiana has for too long allocated too little to meet the growing needs of families and people in stressful situations. We continually work to advocate for changes....(Editorial Indianapolis Indiana Star, by Tim Evans)….. It was about the children under state' care. Not parents. It was the total of children under state' care each year with a 25-30% of the annual total of children under the state' care to die at the hands under the state providers, state fosters, ect…..and has been for over the past decade..." Over the past decade 25-30% of the annual total of children under the state’ care, DIE at the hands under the state!!! Doesn't’t this scare anyone? This means that even though it is known children are seriously abused and killed at the hands of strangers, placed into harms way by the care of this agency, CPS, which is costing Indiana tax payers over 1 billion dollars a year, but they still get paid to cause more harm to our innocent and precious children!!! Why not pump gas into a tank with a large hole in it, the effectiveness would be the same.
The State Representative for my area; David Frizzell response: There was no response given to us as we sent hundreds of letters to all government officials begging for help from 4/20/05 through 12/05. No responses in return. But when we noted that the Attorney General does no more than to claim and deny any fault regarding the actions of all government agencies, big businesses, or big political supporters, David Frizzell responded 06/19/07 when I commented against Steve Carter’ office, IAG, quickly saying: “…… I am making serious accusations…..” So, the life of a child or the defaming hardship of an innocent young woman is unworthy to be concerned about and not important enough to respond to the constituent, but the statement of concern regarding the Attorney General’ lack of concern or lack of action of the harm being done to the citizens by government, Big businesses, and Big political supporters, are worthy to immediately respond to safeguard his fellow politician?
Dan Burton, our Federal Rep. wrote to tell us that he was too good to worry about issues of the state, as he is at the federal level.
So, who is our elected officials to be the stewardship of service too? It is not, the citizens, at least, not in Indiana. NOW I AM IMFORMED THAT ALL THE CLAIMS MADE TO THE ATTORNEY GENERAL WILL BE DENIED BY AN ELECTED OFFICIAL, BUT THE INVESTIGATION IS NOT COMPLETED AND WE HAVE NOT BEEN INFORMED THE CASES WHERE CLOSED AND DENIED. BUT THIS IS THE WAY STEVE CARTER' OFFICE RUNS, IT DENIES AND CLOSES CASES WITHOUT ANY INVESTIGATIONS, AS ONLY TO PROTECT GOVERNMENT, BIG BUSINESSES, AND BIG CAMPAIGN DONATORS, NOT THE PEOPLE!!!
The Villages, who locate foster homes for the children CPS snatch from their homes, makes a financial fortune from the corruption of Child Protection Services. The Villages are finding foster homes for children that most likely had safe homes, but due to the ability to make false reports by CPS without any question for validity, children are forced to suffer, parents lives come to an end with a broken heart, destroyed family, publicly defamed, and forced to loose every penny they have or ever will have, in attempt to get back their children. Once children are removed from their parents, by CPS, chances are they are seriously abused or killed before they reach the age of 18 years old.
Parents loose parental rights without a fair legal hearing. Hearsay is all that is used. Regardless of the facts, the truth, any and all evidence a parent has, the judge ignores the information, and the hearsay is rubber stamped as valid, false claims are documented as substantiated without evidence, and goodbye children!! Please, please, Don’t laugh, this is a reality. Governor, Mitch Daniels, Attorney Generals Office, Steve Carter, Attorney Generals Investigator, David Thomas, Head of Department of Children, James Payne, Indiana State Police, Marion County Prosecutor, Carl Brizzi, Local Police, and both CPS Attorneys and judges, are all aware of the fraudulent criminal actions of social workers and case managers, of CPS. However, it appears that no one has the integrity or ethical morals to do anything about it.
How many babies are stolen all over the state by a government agency, called CPS, that is no more than an agency that claims to "protect", but they make large amounts of money from the tax payers and the federal bonuses and grants? {Human Marketing & Human Trafficking} How many children are alienated from the parents and siblings without true cause? The greatest risk factors for children to be removed from their home has nothing to do with abuse or neglect, as single women, low income, battered and abused, or uneducated, are the targets to loose their children.
The Constitution is supposed to protect us. Our elected Politicians are supposed to support the written law, protect the citizens, and both listen and act up the concerns and needs of the people!! How corrupt can a state be? The Federal Government ignores the complaints and request complaints to be re-submitted to the people of the state who are committing the crimes and violations.
The rights of citizens are stomped on when CPS states, "Sign this paper or you will never see your child again". Or when a doctor forces un-necessary, very expensive, and very harmful medications, to an infant, with the aide of CPS placing the infant under state care without a court order, just because the mother wants to request her own, well know and trusted Pediatrician, to take over the health care needs of her infant. Many can testify to this bulling tactic.
Many children are removed from their parents and siblings, not because they needed to be protected, but because, the state needs children in the system to make a federal re-reimbursement profit. Doesn't this make anyone sick? Does it surprise anyone that none of our government officials believe the issue of children wrongfully removed from their home to be placed into harms way or for the state workers to lie and make a mockery of the courts, is worthy to be dealt with in a more vigorous manner? Indiana ' political official are more concerned for their political party issues, not the citizens!! It is the money, power, control to gain more money, at the expense of family unity and the children’s well-being. How many citizens are being abused by our own government? MILLIONS!!
Who can or will investigate? NO ONE IN OUR OWN GOVERNMENT FROM THE GOVERNOR DOWN TO THE POLICE Detective or Investigators! Child Protection Services, walk as a god, with disregard to all laws.
For it is written: "Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilts prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear: To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress" Psalm 10:17 - 18.
Do not the words, "One nation, under God, indefensible, with liberty, and justice for all", mean anything? Does it? What liberty, what justice, what rights in the Constitution, does CPS follow, honor, cherish, or give respect to? NONE! Again, the new age Hitler Dictatorship of CPS is real and stealing the rights of parents to be parents and children to bear the right to have heritage of their own family. What a shame, a criminal act towards all citizens in this state of Indiana , and of the nation!! We do not need more state workers in Indiana .
We need state workers that know the difference from truth and fiction, honesty and perjury, and skilled with the ability to assess all situations objectively rather than personally biased values to project their own subjective issues onto the families encountered. We need judges that have the desire to be involved with the families and the issues that can be managed as a family unit, to ask for evidence rather than accepting hearsay, and if the case has no basis, the judge should drop the case immediately! When a young mother fled an abusive man, to protect herself and infant from domestic abuse, CPS made sure the abuser could abuse the infant, and he did, CPS handed the infant to the man without any proof of being the father, allowed he to bash her skull in, then CPS workers, refused medical treatment for the infant.
Many pleads and begging for help at the Prosecutor’s Office were made, in person many times, phone calls, black and white evidence handed, 911 calls, and letters, to no avail, as Myron Hockman, Community Prosecutor, Linda Majors, Stacy Hawk, Lisa Borges, then Chief of Staff for Prosecutor' Office, refused to care, listen or act. Myron Hockman, laughed at the 911 tape of the mother being battered, and the courts refused to serve a protective order filed by an attorney, 11/08/05. "Shatter the Silence" is ignored by the political figures in the state of Indiana , as women and children are meaningless. (Keep in mind this young woman fled with infant for safety from the abuse of this man that has been in mental institutional care, leaving AMA, ect. and every agency in the state of Indiana ignored the woman's cry for protection, safety, and having her right to be heard. But in Indiana, women and children have no rights, and every agency that is to help the vicitm, only victimized the victim over and over again. What kind of emotional well-being does anyone think this woman could be in??? No where to go, no one to listen, no one in Indiana felt it important enough to lift a finger. From Mitch Daniels, Governor, to Carl Brizzi, Marion Co. Prosecutor. ) Is this an isolated case? No, this is the norm, in Indiana. Just what do any government workers do for the people in Indiana ? We pay for what? Victimization, ignored, lied to, terrorized, and oppressed. Why do we even have an election? Campaign promises are lies.
Perpetrators of Maltreatment is: Child Protection "Predator" Services CPS commits un-punished crimes against innocent parents and children and destroy families for Federal $$$Funds
Physical Abuse – 59 by parents 160 by CPS
Sexual Abuse – 13 by parents 112 by CPS
Neglect – 241 by parents 410 by CPS
Medical Neglect – 12 by parents 14 by CPS
Fatalities – 1.5 by parents 6.4 by CPS
FACT: Number of Cases per 100,000 children in the United States . These numbers come from The National Center on Child Abuse and Neglect (NCCAN) in Washington .
One in four children, under state care WILL die.
This is an issue all over the nation!!!!
For it is written: "Woe to those who make unjust laws, and those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people." Isaiah 10:1
I am a child of God, wife for 29 years to my high school sweetheart, mother of three grown children, grandmother of 4 precious children, and a Registered Nurse, BSN, a professional woman, that has witnessed how Methodist Hospital violated the right of a mother to choose her own well known and trusted doctor, as a Methodist doctor, who refused to sign off and give the case to the parent's selected doctor, and directed the violation of activity toward the patient, and all other hospital staff refused to allow the patient a Patient Advocate, professionals re-wrote the medical chart, forced the mother to sign a waiver for a second opinion on the legal document of Methodist Hospital as mother was threatened to never see her baby again it she refused to sign, forced the mother to also sign a CHINS paper for CPS, overdosed a 5 day old infant with a highly toxic medications without any rationale, signs or symptoms to pursue to do so, and CPS staff defamed an innocent mother, by perjury, falsification of documentation, and violating their own policies and procedures. CPS continued to hand an infant to a man that bashed in her skull concave, but the CPS workers refused to allow the infant medical care. My family' life and belief with NEVER be the same. This is how women and children are treated in Indiana . May God help us all who suffer? A lengthy horrific 911 tape of my daughter being attacked in her own car, as the man lounged through the driver' window, I sat paralyzed in the passenger' seat. The prosecutor's office, laughed. Pretend this is your daughter on the 911 tape, you sit in the passenger' seat, you know the man attacking your daughter is high on cocaine, you have in hand a court order to pick up the 10 month old baby girl, who is sitting in the man' back seat of his car, as his car is running, driver door open, parked in the middle of the street, the police refuse to honor the court order, allow the man to leave with the infant, and the prosecutor's office laughs at the 911 tape, and courts refused to serve a protective order. How you would feel? What would you do? The state of Indiana, especially, Marion County, allows this to happen to innocent women and children. This is a small amount of hell, we have suffered, and nothing was or is done. Women and children mean nothing in Indiana. How can the US help stop the citizens from being harmed in Iraq or teach the leaders in Iraq to care for their citizens, when innocent women and children are being victimized right here in the US, by our own government, and our elected officials ignore the issues? Since the government promoted bonuses to each state for adoptions, more and more children are being "stolen" from their loving and safe homes, CPS workers will commit perjury to use the "Magic Words" just to gain custody of a child without allowing parents due process, to be sold. I can prove the lies & false reports done by DCS. I can also prove that Brizzi' office refused for a protective order and refused us to gain help from the hell we suffered. We were laughed at and patronized.
When did Indiana become a state of dictatorship?
*** Children's Bureau Express Nov 2004 http://cbexpress.acf.hhs.gov HHS Awards Adoption Bonuses to States On October 14, 2004, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Tommy G. Thompson announced the awarding of $17,896,000 in adoption bonuses to 31 States and Puerto Rico. The funding comes from the Adoption Incentives Program and is given to States that were successful in increasing the number of adoptions from the public child welfare system over the number of adoptions in 2002. ....The threshold to receive incentives has been reset based on the number of adoptions in FY 2002, making States that reached their highest number of adoptions in the earlier years of the program more likely to qualify for a bonus. ..." (THIS IS WHEN THE MASSIVE AMOUNT OF CHILDREN BEGAN TO BE REMOVED BY MERE FALSE ALLEGATIONS, parents defamed, families destroyed, AND CHILDREN SOLD LIKE CATTLE!)
Children, do not have to be abused, raped, or mistreated, or murdered, please, their voices must be heard!!!! Many children are being abused under state care, parents are being defamed, and families are being destroyed, needlessly. This must stop!! Please, help our leaders to see what is happening to the people they have been blessed by God, to serve for His Sake! My heart is full of sorrow, like never felt before, and tears flow without dryness near. Precious, innocent, unborn children, are slaughtered, not be cave men, but be educated professionals, and our leaders, turn their heads of the blood shed.
The United States citizens are victimized by the government agency, Child Protection Services and judges, that fail to protect those under their care. May the suffering and blood of every child, parent, and entire families, be on the hands of every politicial figure that has turned away to ignore the suffering of the cries of the US citizens. They all need our prayer for mercy to be given to them.
I am a professional woman that has witnessed first hand the lies and crimes of CPS and how there is no where to go for protection of this government agency that walks as a god, but does evil to destroy the innocent. Citizens have no avenue for protection against this government agency that causes more harm than good, and "protection" is the least of the motivation, as money is the controlling factor. Interesting web page of victimized parents who have choosen to speak the truth of the crimes of the US government agency, Child Protection Services, and the violation of Human Rights, and the US Constitution.
I will continue to pray for the Hand of God to reveal the truth about the crimes, of Child Protection Services.
The truth of what is happening is that CPS violates the rights of all citizens, not held accountable, responsible, or punished, and ignore and fail to 'protect'. Don't let this happen to your family and friends, please. CPS is the largest government agency that has no accoutability or responsibility, no oversight, and able to function in secrecy throughout the nation. This is no more than a business of human trafficking, done so as a mofia organization.
Just one testimony for the millions of citizens that is being terrorized by their own county. Didn't the US sign a treaty to up-hold the Human Rights, at the United Nations? Well, they lied about that too! CPS will show graphs and charts, budgets and numbers, but it depends on the audience, as we found that the numbers do not add up, nor can CPS explain the discreprancies. They lie. They are out of control. They answer to no one.
Our family will never be the same, and our faith of what true liberty, justice, and democracy, stood for, has been forever stomped to non-existence. We know the truth of how Child Protection Services can easily commit perjury and make a mockery of our justice system. CPS is accountable to no one, not even the children in their graves related to the 'protection' under state care. CPS answers to no one. We will never be the same, for in Indiana, there is no such thing as liberty and justice, only politics and children un-constitutionally kidnapped for federal profit to the state.
I stand behind every word I stated.

What Indiana Hoosiers stands for:
As two Indiana children sit at the lunch table during school, one child asks another child, "Why is Indiana called the Hoosier State, and what does Hoosier mean?"
The other child replied quite quickly, "Oh, that is easy. It is because it is the most used words in Indiana by many. Hoos ier mommy? Hoos ier daddy? Hoos ier sister? Hoos ier brother? Hoos ier grandma and grandpa?"
The inquiring child sat quietly, then tearfully responded, "You're right. Do you know Hoos ier mommy?"
The other child sadly responded, "No, but I am given an anti-depressant so I don't think about my mommy a lot. I was told my brother was beaten to death by his foster dad, and my sister was in 11 different foster homes, and now, she is homeless."
The reality of suffering and devastation endured by Indiana children, as Indiana government officials enjoy the federal incentive bonus packages of financial profit.
Children are dying under state care without anyone being held accountable or responsible. The deaths are not even kept a record of under the state's care. Women are ignored for protection, patronized, and children removed from safe homes, only to be an adoption child for the state to make a profit. Child Protection governmental agency is a facade to the human trafficking business, and parents are defamed, as many are mourning the deaths of their children who the state placed under their care. The lies and secrecies of the conspired crimes of Dept of Children, in Indiana.
