I write this petition deeply hurt and agitated, following my firsthand experience with Linda Ozier and her establishment, Isaiah 11 Ministry located in Warsaw, IN, USA. When my child needed support after being assaulted by an online predator, we reached out to Ozier and her ministry. Instead of help, we were met with manipulation, boundary-crossing, and coercion into servitude.

My child was not the only victim, however. Our story resonated with numerous similar tales spanning over a decade. Interestingly, the ministry's ex-maintenance man was reported to be a registered sex offender. Still, Ozier's position was unwavering; she downplays the dangers sex offenders pose to society and even advocates for their trustworthiness, an alarming perspective to seed amongst the troubled youth she supposedly 'counsels'.

Moreover, many animals within her care endured suffering, some having been removed from the facility due to maltreatment. Yet, no legal actions have been taken against Ozier or the ministry, and she remains free to possess animals, potentially subjecting them to more unnecessary suffering.

It's quite evident that this situation has continued for too long, and immediate action is required. Therefore, we call upon the local authorities to investigate and hold Linda Ozier and the Isaiah 11 Ministry accountable for their blatant disregard for the well-being of both humans and animals. Additionally, a ban should be imposed on Ozier owning or working with animals or counseling youths further.

The harmful pattern has been established, and the community of Warsaw cannot condone or ignore this any longer. It's time to close the doors of Isaiah 11 and prevent Linda Ozier from continuing to influence and control the minds of our vulnerable youth. Please honor our plea and sign this petition to stop them from inflicting harm again.
