Nearly 350 pounds of venison donated to Missouri food bank
REYNOLDS COUNTY, Mo. — A food pantry in southern Missouri got a hefty surprise on Tuesday just in time to feed needy families during the holidays. Missouri Department of Conservation agent Kaleb Neece delivered 347 pounds of venison donated by the county's deer hunters to the Reynolds County Food Bank, according to a post from the department. The donations were made through the department's Share the Harvest program which allows hunters to donate their surplus meat.
I am a parent who has been personally affected by the actions of the Reynolds/Iron County Children's Division.
I am a parent who has been personally affected by the actions of the Reynolds/Iron County Children's Division. They took my son from me and are now moving towards adoption without providing me with a fair chance to prove my capability as a parent. This is not just about one case, but about numerous instances where families have been torn apart due to coercion, manipulation, kidnapping and unethical behaviors by this division. The pain of losing your child under questionable circumstances is unbearable and it is time that we demand transparency and accountability from those in power. We need an independent investigation into their practices to ensure that they are acting in the best interests of children and families. According to data from the U.S Department of Health & Human Services, as many as 20% of children placed in foster care should not have been removed from their homes in the first place (U.S Department of Health & Human Services). This statistic raises serious concerns about potential misconduct within child protective services across the country, including our own Reynolds/Iron County Children's Division. We cannot stand by while families are being unjustly separated. It is time for us to take action against these injustices. Please sign this petition demanding an investigation into Reynolds/Iron County Children's Division for unethical practices.
Corruption in Reynolds county children division
I am a resident of Redford, MO, USA and my personal struggle with the Children's Division in Reynolds County has led me to this point. My son was taken into state custody when he was just two days old. Despite my relentless efforts to get him back, he remains under the control of the division based on false and erroneous information. The corruption within this system is not only affecting me but countless other families who are being torn apart without just cause. It is a grave violation of our rights as parents and citizens. The situation calls for immediate attention and rectification. According to a 2017 report by the National Coalition for Child Protection Reform (NCCPR), Missouri ranks high among states with cases of children unnecessarily taken from their homes due to systemic failures. This statistic reflects an alarming trend that needs urgent redressal. We demand a thorough investigation into these allegations against the Children’s Division in Reynolds County, Missouri. We call upon local authorities and elected officials to take immediate action towards reforming this system that is supposed to protect our children but instead seems more intent on tearing families apart. Please join us in demanding justice for all affected families.
