Yes they do. Oklahoma has accepted substandard programs for way too long.
I know there are some caring workers at DHS, but the system is broken, the pay is low, and it's almost impossible to keep the good ones. Even if they stay they are fighting constantly for what is right.

Dawn: I would love to read your story, however it is almost impossible to do so with your lack of punctuation. I know that there are important things that you are trying to say, but no one can understand anything that you are saying. Please, slow down, re-type your post with some punctuation and I'll try to re-read it. I know the semantics don't seem important, but I couldn't make one bit of sense out of your story.

Dawn,

You have a good start. You have referenced www.rogerscountygrandjury.com

Perhaps you should hire the Haslam Law Firm. Due to my case no Rogers County judge may hear any cases involving Don Haslam. Rogers County DHS got whipped good by him. Plus, Don is drafting the Petition for the Rogers County Grand Jury. Per my affidavit, all major players in JD cases in Rogers County are named as co-conspirators in enabling child abuse. Should put most of these officials out of system permantly.

I just laerned that a father went into Rogers County this month, his divorce was granted and he was awarded custody of his children! seems Rogers County is already changing how they do business.

I also recieved a letter from the Okalhoma Bar Association yesterday. The members of the Rogers County District Attorney's office now have until Feb 28 to respond to my grievance letter. wea re seeking the disbarment of each prosecutor involved in our case.

Mr. Mom,

Jim

This is national and has your state, county and court listed. Enter judge, or commissioner in the text and report your own opinion as to the misuse of funds paid by the people for these corrupt courts. People are now listening to what is happening.. jobs are dropping in the lows, mortgage companies are closing doors, people are losing their homes, children are being taken from good parents or/and given to the abusive parent or the system for profit. Make your voice heard.... TELL THE WORLD!

I went to court the other day and was very surprised that Judge Post acknowledge me and even asked me to the hearing. I am the biological mother of two beautiful boys. I did an open adoption with my mother and step-father in april of 2007. That is the worst mistake I ever made. However, at the time i was under the impression that if I did not sign the open adoption I would never see my kids again. January 29th the boys were removed from my parents home and put in state custody. I am fighting to see them. In the court order I was order visitation every Wednesday from 4-8pm. I am denied that now because of thier actions. I am the one that turned them in. I did it out of love for my angels. My youngest brother tried to sufficate the youngest child that is now 5 years old. The oldest child is now in a hospital in OKC for sexually acting out in 3 diffrent foster homes in 3 days. What have they done. My angels have never been apart and were never hurt when they were with me. The open adoption was a civil suit i have never personal had the children removed from my home. i want them back. I draw disability and i can not afford an attorney i am trying everything I can and exusting every resorce. Any tips or ideas will be helpful.

Heart broken,
Devon

Unfortunately, in Rogers County you need a canoe and a paddle, and its all up stream. Judge Post can smile nicely, but is as corupt as can be. She permitted an actively psychotic, mentally incompent mother of five to stipulate to a petition that was in itself written partially in error. Oh, well. Since she stipulated and can not appeal now, she has no standing for custody ever. Thus my children are safe.

As for your issue. Beg, borrow or whatever you can, get all you can and beg Don Haslam to accept your case. www.donhaslam.com

Also file an affidavit with www.rogerscountygrandjury.com

That is about all the thoughts I can offer. But without competant legal counsel, you truly are up a creek without a paddle or canoe.

Jim

Just a reminder to the "big brother" taht we all know is watching us:

With the return of the children finalized, Mr. Hall will seek damages from various officials involved in the wrongful taking of his children.

Litigation is being prepared! These corrupt criminals will answer in court, to a jury, for what they did!

I know how you all feel. My children were ripped away from me after my x-husband's family accused my now x-boyfriend of beating my youngest child. HE DID NOT. They were taken from me, the only stable home they've had and were put with my x-husband's mother, who is an alcoholic. I have tried contacting the DHS to find out how I can get my children back and they have blown me off and ignored me. They will listen to the side of the family that has NEVER been there for my children but refuse to listen to those that have been with them from day one. Stephens County DHS is a prime example of what is wrong with this system. My x-husband was found to have molested my oldest son, yet he and his family have my children. He is not supposed to be around unsupervised yet here he is letting my boys sleep in bed with HIM!!!!! I am being treated VERY unfairly in this matte an would appreciate any advice or help.

REFORM ON THIS !

- WARNING - WARNING - WARNING -

If you have been accused of some sort of Child Abuse,... please know that DHS has secret files and a hidden registry regarding you that some public officials, employers,'and for a monetary charge' the public can read about you.

Did you know that in the event DHS accused you of spanking your child to hard and you sued DHS in Circuit Court denying the charges, and if the Court-Judge-&-Jury finds you innocent of all charges, it is so shocking to know that "DHS WILL STILL PUT YOUR NAME ON THE SECRET CHILD MALTREATMENT REGISTRY FOR PUBLIC OFFICIALS AND EMPLOYERS TO VIEW!

THIS TYPE OF DHS ABUSE REGARDING ACQUITTED CITIZENS MUST BE STOPPED.
IT IS A VIOLATION OF CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.

PLEASE CALL YOUR T.V. STATION, YOUR SENATORS, AND YOUR CONGRESSMEN TO APPEAL THIS HORRIBLE FLAW IN THE DHS SYSTEM.

It has always amazed me that you can be treated like a criminal, have people accuse you of all kinds of horrible things & take away your children when you have done nothing wrong or even close to illegal. But DHS is willing to jump thru hoops to do everything they can for someone who abuses their children to the point that one of the children has mental retardation from frequent severe beatings and another was taught at an early age how to obtain money by performing oral sex on men (he learned this prior to age 4). How scary is it that? Wow, they're really looking out for the children, aren't they?
