Watchdog for our kids, advocate for our foster parents, voice for the voiceless.
Most, if not all, states have removed homelessness as a reason to remove children from their parents, but parents who refuse services to escape homelessness must be held accountable for the harm they are doing to their children. No child should live in an encampment.
She was raped and murdered by a man who himself experienced the failure of the child protective system. "[Her] family had declined requests from child protective services for help, and the state did not press the issue. About the only kindness she experienced in her short life…
"Not one more child lost." We agree. Remove them from drug-filled homes and place them somewhere safe.
behind the decriminalizing of drugs known as measure 110 have a big problem with this. They state this will actually hurt families. They are known as the drug policy alliance. A radicalized group that’s big on social justice causes. You know what else hurts
Bravo for NM doing what @waDCYF refuses to do - take parental substance abuse seriously! pressreader.com/usa/santa-fe-n…
When you hire someone for her ideological commitments, you shouldn’t be surprised if she is bad at her job. My latest in @CityJournal city-journal.org/article/casa-l… @AEI @IWF

Two very different families. One #missing little girl. Oakley Carlson’s biological parents, Jordan Bowers and Andrew Carlson, never reported her missing. They refuse to say where she is. They’ve offered no help, no answers, no accountability. Her foster parents, Jamie Jo and…
20 deaths last year. 7 so far in the first quarter alone. @waDCYF is on the wrong trajectory.

"In April 2024, police said they arrested the child's father for a drug related DUI. They said the father was passed out and had drugs in his car, where there were also kid items and a car seat." Police referred the case to @waDCYF who left the child there to die.…
Don't worry, I'm sure Child Protective Services has written a comprehensive safety plan for those kids.
We found twin autistic children in a homeless camp with their transgender mom surrounded by active drug users, trash and uncapped used needles on the ground. @tarafaul503 and I stumbled upon the first child eating bark off a tree.
Under HB1227 @waDCYF no longer considers exposing a baby to drugs as maltreatment, so why would they bother to send these drug-exposed babies to be treated?
Washington state defunded a specialized medical facility for drug addicted babies ... but kept funding that gives concierge medical care to transgender prison inmates, including paying for things like breast implants and laser hair removal.
7-year-old Mi’Laziah Raelynn Thill-Jackson was left in a family with chronic homelessness, severe domestic violence, and abuse. She was left there after a sibling died due to parental negligence. She was left there after 19 CALLS to @waDCYF. She was left there despite no one…
Six-month-old A.M. was shot and murdered by father, who was high on drugs and hallucinating at the time. There had been 3 PRIOR CPS CALLS for A.M.’s family prior to death. Mother had a prior child who was removed from her. A.M.r tested positive for methamphetamines and cannabis…
4-year-old R.W. died after being exposed to fentanyl. The family had a total of 11 CPS INTAKES prior to R.W.’s death, alleging parental substance use, neglect of the children, domestic violence, and parental mental health crises. Many allegations of substance use by the parents…
Would @waDCYF consider his drug dealing to be "imminent risk of physical harm?" My guess is some judges would say no.
“Not only was his fentanyl trafficking linked to three overdose deaths, but he also left a 10-month-old baby alone, surrounded by guns and drugs (including fentanyl), while he was out dealing." If his sentence were shorter, every state would be required to make efforts to…
These girls would be alive today had the court granted no unsupervised visitation, as requested. A massive, heartbreaking failure of Washington’s judicial system. And it’s far too common. We should change the law. Did not complete court ordered evaluations? No visitation. (By…

Baby P.J. died after 9 CALLS to @waDCYF between 2009-2024. Despite knowing that mom was a drug addict who did fentanyl, was homeless, and that baby P.J. wasn't receiving medical care despite being born premature and drug-addicted, P.J. was assessed "safe" in mother's care just…
