Colonel Jackson: A Lifetime of Service, A Dream Unfulfilled
Can a person who dedicated their life to helping the community be left to suffer in their final days? This man, a retired police officer and former member of the Department of Justice, has devoted his life to ensuring equal treatment for all. Yet, he awaits his dream while being abandoned by the very community he served. He exudes warmth, judges based on actions rather than words, and goes the extra mile to help others, even while battling terminal cancer. With his infectious smile and resolute beliefs, he leaves a lasting impression on everyone he meets.
Unpacking Child Protective Services (CPS) Actions: Assessing Concerns and Calls for Reform
Child Protective Services (CPS) is responsible for investigating reports of child abuse or neglect, and their intervention is legal only if they can substantiate either abuse or neglect. However, the agency's actions that result in the unjust separation of families raise concerns about their approach to child welfare. Removing children from their stable homes, schools, and everything they are familiar with can inflict significant emotional harm, leaving lasting psychological damage. The agency's practice of separating siblings and placing them with complete strangers, even when willing and capable family members are available, further compounds the issue, raising suspicions of intentional actions detrimental to a child's well-being.
Adjudicatory hearing process in the juvenile court.
In re Smith, 77 Ohio App. 3d 1, 601 N.E.2d 45 (Ct. App. 1991). The court stated "The rights to conceive and to raise one's children have been deemed `essential, * * * basic civil rights of man,' * * * and `[r]ights far more precious * * * than property rights.'" (Citations omitted.) Stanley v. Illinois, supra at 651, 92 S.Ct. at 1212, 31 L.Ed.2d at 558. A termination of parental rights is the family law equivalent of the death penalty in a criminal case. The parties to such an action must be afforded every procedural and substantive protection the law allows. In the case at bar, appellants were denied the procedural safeguards of Juv.R. 29(D). Appellants' admissions to the neglect and dependency of their children are, therefore, invalid.
The Pain of Separation: A Mother's Fight for Justice and Family Reunion
Many parents from what I've learned lately are complaining that their rights are being violated and their families wrongfully separated. I believe this to be true after my own personal experiences which is what has landed me to writing these articles. In the grand scheme of things I'm no one to anyone of importance. I'm a mom who has been wrongfully robbed of her parental rights. I am a mom who has been unjustifully cut off of all communication and contact of her precious children. I am a mom who's bond with her children has been severed by the hands of the juvenile justice system without justification and one who has been harassed by the individuals involved for years prior to this event having taken place!

The Equal Protection Clause, enshrined in the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution, serves as a cornerstone of American jurisprudence. Its purpose is to guarantee equal treatment and protection under the law to all individuals, regardless of their race, gender, religion, or other characteristics.

The presence of a faint line on a drug screen has caused significant controversy and has had serious consequences for families.

Parenting struggles and growth
Parents, your children observe and learn from your actions, even when you may not be aware of it. We all make mistakes as parents, and I have made my fair share. Some of these mistakes are not something I'm proud of, but I share them to remind myself that nobody is perfect. On my most challenging days, I may not be the best mother in the world, but I know I have grown and changed for the better.

"Opinion" piece Unjust Home invasion, correction to a recent article
The story I'm attempting to tell is my own. I believe it has value and although it is unfortunate I do believe that by telling the story I can help others. It isn't easy to publicize the things I'm sharing with everyone. I'm judged harshly and unfairly due to the disbelief others have when hearing my story. I wouldn't bother telling this story knowing how it sounds if it were not true. I do have the evidence to back this story. When I post it however I get flagged for fact checking or labeling. So I have been trying to find ways that are acceptable to put this story out there.

Probable cause requires a reasonable belief, based on specific facts and circumstances, that the search will uncover evidence of child abuse or neglect.
